'''Subwoolfer''' is a pop duo consisting of [[AnAlienNamedBob "Keith" and "Jim"]], a pair of wolf-like yellow aliens [[{{Lunarians}} from the moon]] who perform with their associate, an individual [[EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep known only as]] [[ExactlyWhatitSaysOnTheTin DJ Astronaut]]. They are best known for representing UsefulNotes/{{Norway}} in the Series/EurovisionSongContest [[Recap/EurovisionSongContest2022 2022]], placing tenth overall with the song "Give That Wolf a Banana".
The identity of the twosome was the subject of widespread speculation upon their debut in the 2022 edition of Melodi Grand Prix, with popular guesses ranging from Music/{{Ylvis}} to Creator/AntAndDec. Their identities remained a mystery until the following year's MGP, wherein they finally revealed themselves to be ''[[Series/AmericanIdol Norwegian Idol]]'' runner-up Gaute Ormåsen and British singer Ben Adams, formerly of the {{boy band}} A1.

!! Subwoolfer provides examples of:
* AerithAndBob: Keith and Jim are themselves fairly mundane names, while their sister has the AwesomeMcCoolname Luna Ferrari.
* AmazingTechnicolorPopulation: Whatever alien race Keith and Jim belong to, they appear to all have bright yellow skin
* AnAlienNamedBob: Their names, Keith and Jim, are intentionally mundane in comparison to their outlandish appearance.
* DistaffCounterpart: Keith and Jim have a little "sister" named Luna Ferrari, as revealed by their single "Howling". She more or less exactly resembles the two, with the only visual marker of her gender being a mane of [[LongHairIsFeminine long]] [[PinkMeansFeminine magenta]] hair.
* ElectiveMute: Keith and Jim clearly ''can'' speak if they're able to sing their own music, but they notably never communicate verbally otherwise, as seen throughout the Eurovision 2022 press cycle.

* {{Lunarians}}: Subwoolfer's backstory claims they met on the moon 4.5 billion years ago.
