  • I Am Not Shazam: The music was really created by the group Adams & Fleisner, and the female vocals were done by Sylvia. But Peter Slaghuis and Bianca Bonelli were the “members” of the band.
  • Memetic Mutation: The song “Woodpeckers from Space” and the moment where Tico slips on the record player in the video for “Do the Rap”. These are both popular internet memes.
  • Narm: Their music is perceived by many as being hilarious, due to the production and execution being slightly forced. Being from the 80s naturally increases the hammyness in the singing which adds to it.
  • Signature Song: “Woodpeckers from Space” is their most recognizable hit song. It became more famous when used in the episode "Pingu Looks After the Egg" in Pingu.
  • Song Association: "Woodpeckers from Space" is looked at by many as the song from "Pingu Looks After the Egg".
  • Values Dissonance: The cover art for their cover of “Witch Doctor” contains a drawing of a shaman who is wearing what resembles blackface.
