  • I'm the mother flippin' Rhymenoceros
  • My beats are phat and the birds are on my back
  • And I'm horny
  • I'm horny
  • If you choose to proceed you will indeed concede
  • Cos I hit you with my flow
  • The Wild Rhino Stampede.
  • I'm not just wild, I'm trained,
  • Domesticated
  • I was raised by a rapper and rhino that dated
  • And subsequently procreated
  • That's how it goes
  • Here's the Hiphopopotamus
  • The hip hop hippo
  • They call me the Hiphopopotamus
  • My lyrics are bottomless
  • They call me the Hiphopopotamus
  • Flows that glow like phosphorous
  • Poppin' off the top of this esophagus
  • Rockin' this metropolis
  • I'm not a large water-dwelling mammal
  • Where did you get that preposterous hypothesis?
  • Did Steve tell you that, perchance?
  • Steve.
  • My rhymes and records they don't get played
  • Because my records and rhymes they don't get made
  • And if you rap like me you don't get paid
  • And if you roll like me you don't get laid.
  • My rhymes are so potent that in this small segment
  • I made all of the ladies in the area pregnant
  • Yes, sometimes my lyrics are sexist
  • But you lovely bitches and hoes should know I'm trying to correct this.
  • Other rappers dis me
  • Say my rhymes are sissy.
  • Why? Why? Why?
  • What?
  • Why exactly?
  • What? Why?
  • Be more constructive with your feedback, please. Why?
  • Why?
  • Why, because I rap about reality?
  • Like me and my grandma drinking a cup of tea?
  • There ain't no party like my nanna's tea party.
  • Hey! Ho!
  • I'm the motherflippin'
  • I'm the motherflippin'
  • I'm the motherflippin'
  • Who's the motherflippin?
  • I'm the motherflippin'
  • I'm the motherflippin'
  • I'm the motherflippin'
  • Motherflippin'

  • Welcome to the Flight of the ConchordsSM, Lip Dub Video Fansterpiece! We're asking all Conchords fans to go out there and shoot themselves making a home-made Lip Sync video (called a Lip Dub) for the song "Hiphopopotamus vs. Rhymenoceros". We'll edit together the best bits from the best videos and make the final "Fansterpiece" which we'll show on HBO®!
  • Here's all you need to know to be a part of the fun:
  • Learn the song
  • You can get the lyrics to "Hiphopopotamus vs. Rhymenoceros" here . You can click the button "learn the song" on flightlipdub.com to get the Conchords' version so you can practice along.
  • Important: Only use the version of "Hiphopopotamus vs. Rhymenoceros" that we provide here as the version you lip sync to, if you use one of the various versions floating around the Internetosphere, you could make a video that we can't use!
  • Video yourself
  • You can use almost any type of video camera, webcam or still camera with video capability. We recommend that you DON'T use YouTube's "Quick Capture" functionality for quality reasons. You can use any personal music player and walk around the town, or play it out of your computer speakers, it's all up to you. The most creative videos will be the ones that we will edit together for the final Fansterpiece. You can make and submit as many videos as you like.
  • Important: Don't wear logos or brands in your video. We're not allowed to show them, and can't be blurring stuff out all over the place, so do us a favor and don't wear them.
  • Upload your Lip Dub
  • After videoing yourself, we recommend that you use any suitable video editing program to add the mp3 of the song as your soundtrack. This makes the most polished video possible and gets you more ratings, views and attention from the community. If you can't complete this step, don't worry - upload your video anyway and we'll add the soundtrack if yours is one of the videos we pick as one of the best. It's better to be inspired and creative than be the best video editor ever.
  • Important: Keep the original High-Quality copy of your video. We will contact the best video creators of those videos that we want to use for the Fansterpiece for the High-Quality versions, so we can edit them together. We can't use uploded YouTube versions.
  • Once uploaded, your video will be checked for content, and when it's been approved, will be available for viewing at our YouTube channel. That is also the place where you can rate other videos and leave comments. Be sure to let your opinions be heard, because the most popular videos will get more attention, and may have a better shot of potentially making it into the final Fansterpiece. Wanna help your own video out? Post it to your Facebook profile, post it to you blog, add it to your Twitter stream, do anything you can to get it noticed!
  • FlightLipDub.com will serve as place to see which videos are currently our favorites, which are getting the most views, and which are the highest rated.
  • Submissions end on January 25th. We'll take a look at everything we have, then contact the best video creators to get the High-Quality versions of their videos. Once we have them, we'll edit together the final Fansterpiece and show it on HBO®!
  • This is your chance to be a part of Flight of the ConchordsSM history!
