latimesblogs.latimes.com — Seriously, the guy responsible for such campy YouTube videos as "Hamster on a Piano" and "Cat Flushing a Toilet" was in a late-90s punk group on a major label.

  • Yondelldude, on 05/11/2009, -0/+7Nerf Herder preformed the theme song to Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
  • CaptnIgnit, on 05/11/2009, -2/+8Nerf Herder is actually one of my favorite bands. Crazy how things are connected to each other. Nerd Rock at it's finest =0)
  • 06metzp, on 05/11/2009, -1/+7Dugg for the band's name... "Nerf Herder"

  • TwoKill, on 05/11/2009, -0/+5Can anyone find the original hamster on a piano video even though it was taken down.

  • dn11, on 05/11/2009, -0/+4*shrug* guy on digg shows his total lack of interest by commenting
  • SpeedSteamBoat, on 05/11/2009, -0/+4If you have never heard of Nerf Herder and have a taste for music with a good sense of humor about itself I highly recommend you check them out. I know the album "How To Meet Girls" has turned a couple of ***** days around for me.
  • WiretapStudios, on 05/11/2009, -1/+5We're not talking about you though.
  • inactive, on 05/11/2009, -8/+12*shrug* Somebody who's not really famous now wasn't really famous ten years ago, too.
  • thisissami, on 05/11/2009, -0/+4Hamster on a piano! Eating popcorn, on a piano!
  • reiggin, on 05/11/2009, -0/+3Nerf Herder's "Van Halen" is classic.
  • maxwashere, on 05/11/2009, -2/+5WOW. I love Nerf Herder...

    and my 14 yo sister loves hamster on a piano
  • dn11, on 05/11/2009, -0/+3Spaghetti Cat, I Weep For You. Too bad the creator of the hamster video threatened ParryGripp with a lawsuit... because the vid is pretty much worthless without the song.
  • Buckwyld, on 05/11/2009, -0/+3Oh Nerf Herder... should have guessed.
  • dn11, on 05/11/2009, -0/+3see also Geoff Smith, who does jingles for a lot of podcasts. I think he even has a digg themed jingle

    apparently jingles are becoming "retro cool" suddenly

  • hufferstl, on 05/11/2009, -0/+2Parry Gripp is a genius.

    I like to listen to Nerf Herder while in my room scoring....with Ms. Pac Man
  • inactive, on 05/11/2009, -0/+2It's not often one gets to publicly announce they love Nerf Herder. They're one of the funniest bands around, and they actually came out with a new CD less than a year ago.
  • aSilver, on 05/11/2009, -0/+2"Hamster on a piano" - Best. Ringtone. Ever.
  • MisterFunman, on 05/11/2009, -0/+2Can't...stop...

  • charlietuna, on 05/11/2009, -0/+2A little bit too.... er raw for my tastes.
  • sloppychris, on 05/11/2009, -0/+2Down on Haley, Haley street, where the drugs are easy and the sex is cheap! You'll never know just who you'll meet on Haley!
  • Tsumuji, on 05/11/2009, -0/+2That was awesome, it might have been a pain to get permission from each of those girls, though.

    My favorite one is Nom Nom Nom Nom Nom Nom Nom:
