I own a Berserker shirt, from their “F\*ck Your Yankee Blue Jeans” world tour. Berserker is the song sung by Jay’s cousin Olaf, the Russian metal singer, in _Clerks_. They must have made it big because Jay is wearing their [shirt](https://jayandsilentbob.com/jay-s-berserker-t-shirt-839.html) in _Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back_. Mine is long-sleeve, and was purchsed at the Secret Stash in Red Bank. ---

> [@nearwildheaven](#): > > I read somewhere that one of the Monty Python guys was driving down the road, listening to a Top 40 station some time in the mid 1990s, and when the announcer said that the previous song was by Toad the Wet Sprocket, he nearly drove off the road. The late SF writer Jack Chalker had a similar experience. He wrote a trilogy featuring an organization called, I think, “General Ordering and Distribution” or “GOD Inc”. His moment came when he first saw a truck for “Guaranteed Overnight Delivery”. ---

> [@puddleglum](#): > > The Way Outs Beat me to it. Love their song ‘Way Out’! You know you’re dealing with a one-hit wonder when the name of the band and first song is practically identical. No wonder the manager went with an Orson Wells-type promotion for them. So I’ll go to my backup picks, Fred “The Velvet Smog” Flintstone (When the Saints Go Marching In’), Bug Music (‘I Said Ya Ya Ya!’), and an honorable mention to Pebbles & Bamm-Bamm (‘Open Up Your Heart (And Let the Sunshine In)’). I’d add The Beau Brummelstones and Ann Margrock, but the performers and songs are a little too close to nonfictional for this thread. ---
