Pop Will Eat Itself - Wise Up Sucker
Have another from teh Poppies..
"The band honed their songwriting skills with a string of catchy two-minute pop songs released on EPs both as Wild and Wandering and Pop Will Eat Itself. With the help of DJ John Peel, these EPs saw some airplay and enjoyed some popularity among university students. After the band feared they had accomplished all they could with their sound, they found new influences in hip hop acts such as the Beastie Boys, Run DMC and Public Enemy. Graham soon dropped the drum sticks for a mic and was replaced by a drum machine called "Dr. Nightmare." Their style continued to develop with classics such as "There Is No Love Between Us Anymore' and the anthemic "Def Con One". As a result, PWEI were signed to major label RCA and they achieved top 40 hits with "Can U Dig It?" and "Wise Up! Sucker" off the album This Is the Day…This Is the Hour…This Is This!"

Mr. Bungle- Quote Unquote
Have a lump of the Bungle.
Extremely rare promotional video for "Travolta" (aka Quote Unquote)from the first album.
"Stage Antics
More so than other Mike Patton related projects, Mr. Bungle was known for their terrifying stage shows, where Patton would wear a gimp mask and Trevor Dunn would donn a blue dress and pigtails while headbanging maniacally. The presentation of the band on stage has sometimes been close to a realization of Antonin Artaud's Theatre of Cruelty in the musical domain. This was particularly felt at the live shows during the "Disco Volante" era. The shows for the "California" tours, while still involving various members wearing masks and dressing up, were no longer showing evidence of Artaud's influence."

Numa Numa
Have the "classic" meme that is Numa Numa with Gary Brolsma
"A Flash-based video of now twenty-year-old American Gary Brolsma (born July 7, 1986) lip-synching the song energetically on his webcam brought the Numa Numa phenomenon to the US (video). Brolsma has stated that he first discovered the song in the Japanese flash animation [1].
Brolsma first published his "Numa Numa Dance" on the Newgrounds site on December 6, 2004. Since then it has popped up on hundreds of other websites and blogs, and he has made appearances on ABC's Good Morning America, NBC's The Tonight Show and VH1's Best Week Ever.
Brolsma is a resident of the state of New Jersey and is reportedly not happy with his fame [2], although he has created tweaked versions of the video since it became popular (see below). According to The New York Times, Brolsma has become an "unwilling and embarrassed Web celebrity." Brolsma has stopped taking phone calls from the media; he canceled an appearance on NBC's Today Show on February 17, 2005, and he did not cooperate with The New York Times for their February 26, 2005 article about him.

New York Times article (February 26, 2005) about Gary Brolsma and the Numa Numa dance.
A story in The Believer (June/July 2006) explores the song's spread and global homogenization, while arguing that Brolsma's video "singlehandedly justifies the existence of webcams . . . It’s a movie of someone who is having the time of his life, wants to share his joy with everyone, and doesn’t care what anyone else thinks."
One version of Brolsma's video also contains some puns, among them pictures of "feta cheese" during the lyric "fericirea" ("happiness") and a LEGO representation of Bob Ross during the singer's words: "sunt eu Picasso" ("it's me, Picasso").
Another common misconception is that Gary is Dutch, as the video showed up on several sites with the title "Funny Fat Dutch Boy". This is not true as he is in fact an American and the song itself Romanian.
In the popular Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG) World of Warcraft, the Tauren character's dance is a replication of the Numa Numa dance."
