That's why they call them business socks.

Making love / Making love for / Making love for two / Making love for twooooo minutes.

You turn to me and say something sexy like... 'Is that it?'

Business hours are ova, baybeh.

Two minutes in heaven is better than one minute in heaven.

In the Season 1 episode "Sally Returns," Jemaine daydreams about rekindling his romance with Sally. The daydream plays out as an in-show music video for the song "Business Time," a pitch-perfect parody of smooth R&B seduction songs. Jemaine narrates the couple's hilariously mundane evening — taking out the recycling, brushing teeth, and wearing business socks to bed — all building to a climactic "two minutes" of lovemaking. Bret cameos memorably by jumping out from around a corner. Sally, even in Jemaine's own fantasy, appears completely underwhelmed throughout.

"Business Time" also appeared on the Flight of the Conchords self-titled album (2008). The TV version, album version, and live versions differ slightly in lyrics. The song has become one of the duo's most beloved and widely quoted works. Bret's surprise cameo jumping around a corner is a fan-favorite moment. YouTube upload date: July 17, 2007 (2 days after original air date), with over 5 million views.
