Beautiful Girl
Flight of the Conchords Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Are the most beautiful girl in the room
In the whole wide room
And when you're on the street, depending on the street
I'll bet you are definitely in the top three
Good looking girls on the street
Depending on the street
And when I saw you at my mate's place
I thought, What is she doing at my mate's place?
How did Dave get a hottie like that to a party like this?
Good one, Dave, ooh, you're a legend Dave
I asked Dave if he's gonna make a move on you
He's not sure, I said, "Dave, do you mind if I do?"
He says, he doesn't mind, but I can tell he kind of minds
But I'm gonna do it anyway
I see you standing all alone by the stereo
I dim the lights down to very low, here we go
You're so beautiful, oh, you could be a waitress
You could be an air hostess in the 60's
You're so beautiful, well, you could be a part-time model
And then I seal the deal, I do my move and dance the robots
It's 12:02, just me and you
And seven other dudes around you on the dance floor
I draw you near, let's get out of here
Let's get in a cab, I'll buy you a kebab
And I can't believe that I'm sharing
A kebab with the most beautiful girl
I have ever seen with a kebab, oh yeah, yeah
Oh, why don't we leave? Let's go to your house
And we can feel each other up on the couch
Oh, no, I don't mind taking it slow
No, yeah
You're so beautiful
You're so beautiful
Well, you're like one of those girls
I've definitely been talking to in the chat rooms
You're so beautiful
Wildslutangel22@yahoo
You're so beautiful
Like a tree or some nice ceramics or something
Or like a high-class prostitute, a high-class prostitute
A high-class, high-class
Oh, so beautiful
Well, you could be a part-time model
Well, you'd probably still have to keep your normal job
Part-time model
But I can see you at an auto show dancing on a car
Part-time model
Oh, you spending part of your time modeling
And part of your time next to me, next to me
And I suppose the rest of the time doing your normal job
The Flight of the Conchords's song "Beautiful Girl" is a humorous tribute to a stunning woman who the singer finds himself drawn to, despite her being in a room full of other people. He can't take his eyes off her and describes how she is probably the best-looking girl in the whole room. Even on the street, she would still rank in the top three. When he sees her at a friend's party, he can't believe that such a beautiful girl is hanging out with his friend Dave at such an unremarkable party.
The singer then proceeds to hit on her, to Dave's obvious chagrin. He tries to draw her attention with his sweet moves and even goes as far as buying her a kebab. The girl agrees to leave with him, and the singer lays on some more smooth moves, assuring the girl that he doesn't mind taking it slow. He cannot believe his luck that he is with such a beautiful girl, whom he likens to a high-class prostitute and a part-time model.
The song is tongue-in-cheek and satirical, making fun of the idea that a person's worth is based on their looks. It also highlights the absurdity of attempting to romanticize another person purely based on their appearance. The Flight of the Conchords's signature comic style is evident throughout the song, with many hilarious observations and witty remarks.

How did Dave get a hottie like that to a party like this?
Good one, Dave, ooh, you're a legend Dave
Upon sighting you at my friend's place, I was bemused about how someone so attractive like you ended up being here. Kudos to Dave for bringing you along, he's a legend.
I asked Dave if he's gonna make a move on you
He's not sure, I said, "Dave, do you mind if I do?"
He says, he doesn't mind, but I can tell he kind of minds
But I'm gonna do it anyway
I inquired Dave if he is planning to make a move on you, he seemed unsure, so I asked him for permission to approach you. Though he claims to be fine with it, I can tell that he does mind, but I'm going to make a move anyway
I see you standing all alone by the stereo
I dim the lights down to very low, here we go
You're so beautiful, oh, you could be a waitress
You could be an air hostess in the 60's
You're so beautiful, well, you could be a part-time model
And then I seal the deal, I do my move and dance the robots
I notice you standing all alone by the stereo, so I dim the lights to create ambiance. You're so gorgeous that you could be a waitress or an air hostess from the 60s era. You're beautiful enough to be a part-time model too. I confidently make a move on you, and we dance together like robots
It's 12:02, just me and you
And seven other dudes around you on the dance floor
I draw you near, let's get out of here
Let's get in a cab, I'll buy you a kebab
The clock reads 12:02, and it's just you and me with seven other guys surrounding you on the dance floor. I pull you close and suggest we leave the place. We take a cab, and I offer to buy you kebab
And I can't believe that I'm sharing
A kebab with the most beautiful girl
I have ever seen with a kebab, oh yeah, yeah
It seems surreal that I'm sharing a kebab with a girl as beautiful as you; you're undoubtedly the most gorgeous person I have ever shared kebab with
Oh, why don't we leave? Let's go to your house
And we can feel each other up on the couch
Oh, no, I don't mind taking it slow
No, yeah
Why don't we leave and go to your place? We can sit on the couch and get intimate with each other. I'm not in a rush, and I'm fine with taking things slow if that's what you prefer
You're so beautiful
You're so beautiful
Well, you're like one of those girls
I've definitely been talking to in the chat rooms
You're so stunning, you're like one of those girls whom I have talked to in the chat rooms before
You're so beautiful

Or like a high-class prostitute, a high-class prostitute
A high-class, high-class
You're beautiful, almost like the email id wildslutangel22@yahoo. You're as beautiful as a beautiful tree or some classy ceramics. You have an aura of a high-class prostitute (not literally)
Oh, so beautiful
Well, you could be a part-time model
Well, you'd probably still have to keep your normal job
Part-time model
But I can see you at an auto show dancing on a car
Part-time model
Oh, you spending part of your time modeling
And part of your time next to me, next to me
And I suppose the rest of the time doing your normal job
You're outrageously beautiful, and you could be a part-time model, though it would mean you would still have to juggle your regular job. I envision you dancing on a car at an auto show, illustrating that you could pursue modeling for some time while being at my side for the other part, and probably continue your normal job for the rest of the period

A high-class, high-class
Ooh, so beautiful

Ooh, you're spending part of your time modeling
And part of your time

Eh, hee, eh, hee, right next to me, hee, hee
And I suppose, the rest of your time doing your normal job

[Verse 1]
Looking 'round the room

Are the most beautiful girl in the... room
(In the whole wide room)
And when you're on the street
Depending on the street
I bet you are definitely in the top three
Good looking girls on the street

Good one Dave
(You're a legend Dave)
I ask Dave if he's gonna make a move on you
He's not sure
I said "Dave do you mind if I do?"
He says he doesn't mind
But I can tell he kinda minds
But I'm gonna do it anyway
I see you standing by the stereo
I dim the lights down to very low here we go
[Chorus]
You're so beautiful (beautiful)
You could be a waitress
You're so beautiful (beautiful)
You could be an air hostess in the 60s
You're so beautiful
You could be a part time model
[Post=Chorus]
And then I seal the deal
I do my moves
I do my dance moves
Both of my dance moves
[Bridge]
It's twelve-oh-two
Just me and you
And seven other dudes
Around you on the dance-floor
I draw you near
Let's get out of here
Let's get in a cab
I'll buy you a kebab
[Verse 2]
And I can't believe
That I'm sharing a kebab with the most beautiful girl
I have ever seen... with a kebab
Why don't we leave?
Let's go to my house and we can feel each other up on the couch
Oh no, I don't mind taking it slow
[Chorus]
Because you're so beautiful
Like a, tree
Or a high class prostitute
You're so beautiful
You could be a part time model
But you'd probably still have to keep your normal job
A part time model
Spending part of your time modelling
And part of your time next to me
And the rest of your time doing your normal job
My place is usually tidier than this
Patrick K.
The fact that this show didn't have more seasons or their full length film is criminal. Such a great comedic series with minimal characters.
Joe Ratchford
Yeah, I understand Bret and Jermaine were burned out after acting in, writing and doing the music for two seasons of TV and didn't want it to get stale, but I'd love a revival season or a movie!
Burak Eren
@Joe Ratchford i'd love that so much.
Patrick Sullivan
It would not work now. Their robust naivety was crucial.
CDSpiral
Better to burn out than to fade away
