Bret Gives Up the Dream

A song in this episode, "Inner City Pressure", received an Emmy Award nomination in 2008 for "Outstanding Original Music And Lyrics".

Unable to attend because of his job, Bret records his part onto a cassette tape for Jemaine to play along with.

At the travel fair, Murray and Jemaine's efforts to promote New Zealand are ridiculed by a smug Australian official, Maxwell (James Smith), and his contingent of bikini girls.

[3] The lyrics centre around his attraction to Coco but are distinguished by the fact that nearly all nouns are replaced by the word "boom".

This song, whose lyrics consist mostly of the words "rock the party", makes an appearance in several future episodes.
