So, my friend Alison showed me some YouTube videos of this great band/comedy team called Flights of the Conchords. They're two dorky, guitar-strumming New Zealanders whose songs range from a satirical look at "the issues" to a song about a woman and who she believes to be her long-lost lover. Their musical parody beats Weird Al Yankovic by miles. Inbetween your own spurts of laughing, at times you might notice their impressive lyric craft or harmonies.
As of last year, they have their own TV show about trying to make it big in New York. Some are cynical about the effect "fame" will have on their creativity and how much material it'll provide them with, but I have faith in the spirit of the dork.
Here's two of their songs:
