The pair often satirized upper class snobbery and perceived beauty. > > In 1999, they released the concept album So… How’s Your Girl?, which was loosely based on an episode of the Chris Elliott sitcom Get a Life entitled “The Prettiest Week of My Life.” The episode also contains the origin of the name Handsome Boy Modeling School, where Chris Elliott’s character enrolls to become a male model. In the album, Dan and Paul assume the characters of Nathaniel Merriweather and Chest Rockwell, respectively. A number of guest musicians appear, including Del tha Funkee Homosapien, J-Live, Sean Lennon, Miho Hatori (of Cibo Matto), Mike D (of the Beastie Boys) and Don Novello (as comic character Father Guido Sarducci). > > Their second album, White People was released in November 2004. Some collaborators from the first album return, and new collaborators include RZA, Cat Power, Casual, Alex Kapranos, Chester Bennington, Mike Shinoda, Jack Johnson, Cedric Bixler-Zavala, Mike Patton, Pharrell Williams, John Oates, Chino Moreno, Lord Finesse, Black Sheep, and comedy actor Tim Meadows. ---
