The song, “Business Time,” from the HBO show Flight of the Conchords is one of the funniest representations of coupled sexual communication around. She says, “I’m going upstairs to bed because I have work in the morning,” which he interprets as, “Come up and make love” because, well, it’s Wednesday, and they always have sex on Wednesdays.
The song isn’t too far off from the way many real couples communicate, or rather, think they communicate. As playwright George Bernard Shaw once said, “The single biggest problem with communication is the illusion that it has taken place.”
