Garfunkel and Oates is a comedy-folk duo from Los Angeles, California, consisting of actress-songwriters Kate Micucci and Riki Lindhome. The two met at the Upright Citizens Brigade theatre in Los Angeles. The duet was formed when they started working together to turn a short film made by Lindhome, entitled “Imaginary Larry”, into a musical.
In February 2009, the Garfunkel and Oates song “Fuck You” (reworked as “Screw You”) was featured in the Scrubs episode “My Lawyer’s In Love”. In March 2009, Micucci announced in a bulletin on MySpace that the two had entered the studio to record an EP.
They now have a new video called “Sex With Ducks” that parodies arguments against same-sex marriage. The video has been featured on such diverse media outlets as Buzzflash.
Other songs include “Me, You, and Steve”, a song about being on a date with a guy, but his best friend keeps showing up; “Pregnant Women Are Smug”, which parodies the comments women make when pregnant; and “Present Face”, about the face that people make when they get a Christmas Present they really don’t like.
The band gets their name from “two famous rock-and-roll second bananas”, Art Garfunkel and John Oates.
