The musical style of this song is intended to mimic the music of Prince.

Jemaine details his seduction of Sally, describing her as being so beautiful she could be a 'part-time model'. * Flight of the Conchords (Prime, 10 last night), Welcome to Paradise (Prime, 9.30 last night).The Most Beautiful Girl (in the Room) (also known as Part-Time Model) begins after Jemaine sees Sally from across the room at Dave's party. Haven't we moved on from this sort of am-dram blokey hokiness? It reminded me of Goodbye Pork Pie, where guys zoom around dimwittedly and the sheilas are only good for doing the work and one other flag-raising thing. Directed by Kiwi veteran Geoff Goodbye Pork Pie Murphy, it's set in a Wellington backpackers' lodge called Paradise, and opened in the lobby with desk-Nazi Sasha (Sally Martin) barking orders over the intercom to manager Alex: 'Get in here or I'll play Hayley Westenra,' the best joke of the night.ДЄll the characters are cliches: randy Zac (Ryan O'Kane, of Insider's Guide to Happiness), inexplicably a babe magnet who stuck a flag in the lobby's world map each time he scored a girl from whatever nation Tongan John, who kept emerging from beneath the floor geek Barry from Ashburton, who auditioned for bar manager by opening beer bottles with his eye socket and Oirish lass Lucy, who put the Oirish flag on Zac's map and got the co-bar manager job. It was preceded by a new truly local series, Welcome to Paradise (Prime, 9.30pm). One of the best things on TV.Д¬onchords, although homegrown, is made in the US, where it has been a hit. It is superb musi-comedy (I never thought I'd ever write that phrase), very smart, likeable and original.

In between, NZ deputy cultural attache Murray Hewitt, their self-important, witless manager, was working on ways to increase their fanbase of one, obsessed stalker Mal.ДЄnd Murray's music video for the band's robot song, filmed on his cellphone, is probably not going to crack it at the MTV awards. Heartbroken, Jemaine pleaded he was usually more charismatic than this, and the show ended with the sobbing boys - Bret had missed his mate horribly - singing, I'm Not Crying, 'my eyes are just a little sweaty today'. As B and J share the same room in a grotty apartment, it wasn't easy to get alone time with Sally, who later dumped Jemaine on the grounds she was drunk when she met him anyway. Jemaine's eyes narrowed, then widened as they alighted upon a beautiful girl, 'So beautiful,' he and Bret sang in a seamless transition, 'you could be an air hostess in the 60s'.ДЄnd so began Jemaine's love affair with Sally, Bret's former girlfriend. Bret wandered off and immediately hooked up with a girl. So Jemaine, a sponge of learning, told Bret to stop hanging around him. He wanted to look lonely, a pick-up tactic. At a party, a cool dude, or trying to be cool, told them to stop hanging around him. You've had three girlfriends.'Д®ven so, Jemaine's aspirations about hot women have risen since being in New York. When pressed by Bret, he had to admit all three were sisters but nevertheless, he'd scored triple figures. Last night's show opened with Jemaine musing on his great success with chicks back home. Jemaine and Bret are mates - but not when it comes to girls.

and so is their outstanding HBO series (opened last night, Prime, 10 o'clock) following the trajectory of their struggle for success, and with each other. Their two-man band is called Flight of the Conchords. Wellington boys Jemaine (Clement) and Bret (McKenzie) are all alone in New York, following the time-honoured Kiwi tradition of trying to make it as a band in the Big Apple.
