There’s a song by some artist that sounds like this:

* * *

Hammah Hammah Zoop Zoop  
Hemmah Hoomah Zut Zut  
A-Nom Nom

Hammah Hammah Zoop Zoop  
Hemmah Hoomah Zut Zut  
A-Nom Nom

A-Hoom Beba Hoom Beba  
A-Hop-N-Hoom Beba  
A-Nom Nom

* * *

It’s dated around the 80’s/90’s, just some guy singin’ nonsensical things. Fun! Who did this song?

That song is on a Dr. Demento collection, I don’t remember what it’s called or who does it though.

The song is funny as all get-out, and great to sing VERY LOUD while driving around with the windows down!

Also, there’s a fan-made AMV (Anime music video) out there that’s a blast. Saw the video before I ever heard the song, and was, for a while, convinced that the words meant something in some asian language :smack:

I love that video. For those who haven’t seen it, it uses footage of Jinnai from the El Hazard anime series, synching his spastic movements with the lyrics of the song. Who knew he was cut out to do reggae?
