Song: Bop Badhum
Artist: Formerly Known As Oedipusaurus Rex
This will probably be the best 1:24 of washboard, jaw harp, banjo, spoons, mandolin, vocals, guitar, keyboards, and hand clapping combination you will ever hear. As for what an Oedipusaurus Rex is, there's a whole different story. Two of the three band members Kenji Baugham and Padgett Arango were taking a creative writing course together and had discussed writing an epic postmodern fable in which a young man is sent out to destroy the three titans of modernity: Jesusaurus Rex, Thesaurus Rex, and Oedipusaurus Rex. The story never got written but they thought Oedipusaurus Rex was a great name for a band, so they settled on being Formerly Known As Oedipusaurus Rex and left it at that.

That song was cool, like something that'd be featured in an iPod commercial (probably reminds me of The Fratellis that's why). Also, I think that's the best band name I've ever heard.
That really is the best mix of those instrumentals I've heard xD And I must agree with Nicole that their band name is pretty sweet.
