I Told You I Was Freaky is the second studio album by New Zealand folk parody duo Flight of the Conchords. It features 13 songs. Out of those 13, ten were released as singles on the American iTunes Store following their television debut. It was released on 20 October 2009 in the US[11] and 2 November in the UK.[12] One of the songs, "Demon Woman",[13] was released as part of a downloadable track pack for the video game Rock Band.[14] The album cover was created by John Dyer Baizley, reminiscent of the 1972 album Summer Breeze by the soft rock duo Seals & Crofts.
