| Wheatus (Music) | comment |
Wheatus is an American Pop Rock band from Northport, New York, most famous for their 2000 single "Teenage Dirtbag." It was formed in 1995 by lead singer and guitarist Brendan B. Brown, the only original member still in the band.Asides from "Teenage Dirtbag", the band is mostly known for their self-titled debut album (the only one to make any real headway in the charts), where the song came from. Their songs follow a hyperactive style and are often vulgar. Brendan is also known for his fondness for sunglasses and hats.The reason they didn't have much success after their debut was due to a dispute that their former record label Columbia Records gave them after Brendan refused to take their request to lip-sync in a Top of the Pops performance. After struggles with releasing their second album under Columbia, Hand Over Your Loved Ones, this has led the band to found their own label, Montauk Mantis, and release the rest of their work online, with only a few vinyl releases over time.The band maintains an official website that can be visited here. | |

Zombie Apocalypse: The digital release of The Valentine LP includes a PDF comic titled "Valentine Comic", which, asides from the album's signature romance, is centered around a zombie apocalypse. | |

Video Full of Film Clips | |
| Wheatus (Music) / int_bfc4b943 | comment |
Video Full of Film Clips: "Teenage Dirtbag" uses clips from Loser (2000). They managed to still make the video follow the plot of the song's lyrics, by deliberately taking scenes out of context and adding new footage of the film's lead actors, Jason Biggs and Mina Suvari. | |

Shout-Out: Iron Maiden is name-dropped in two songs from the self-titled album, "Truffles" (the first verse describes a cover band as being out of Iron Maiden) and "Teenage Dirtbag" (all of its three choruses mention Iron Maiden at some point). | |
