'''Taranchula''' is a death [[Heavy Metal|metal]] band first mentioned in the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[band names]]. The members of the band are Dave Bjornborg, Dave Olafstenston, and Schenkel McDoo, who are respectively portrayed by [[Matt Chapman|Matt]], [[Mike Chapman|Mike]], and another Matt. Their only known songs are "[[Moving Very Slowly]]" from ''[[Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits]]'' (heard briefly during the email [[fingers]]), "The Decoupage" (whose video is directed by [[Teeg Dougland|Mort Dougland]]), "Brother In A Jar" (composed for [[Strong Bad]]'s would-be [[your funeral|funeral]]), and "[[Trudgemank]]", featuring [[Peacey P]] (for which [[The Cheat]] [[Powered by The Cheat|animated]] a music video). Also, in the Strong Bad Email [[montage]], Strong Bad can be seen listening to a Taranchula album with the [[Wagon Fulla Pancakes]], and in the email [[more armies]], an Easter egg reveals their album ''Shady Missionaries.'' The picture of Taranchula in the ''Strong Bad Sings and Other Type Hits'' insert is very reminiscent of [[Glenn Danzig]].

The video for "The Decoupage" is perhaps a spoof of the band [[Tool (band)|Tool]]'s video for their single "Sober", as both videos are stop motion and feature a shapeless creature slithering about the sets of the videos. In Tool's case, the creature is of [[Sober (Tool song)|unknown origins]]; in Taranchula's case, it is a piece of meat. The video for "Moving Very Slowly" was released on the [[strongbad email.exe|Strong Bad Email DVD]].

Products endorsed by the band include the [[Taranchula Black Metal Detector]] (from [[Videlectrix]] Kidx) and [[Cold Ones]] Dry.

* Bjornborg is a play on Swedish tennis legend [[Björn Borg]].
* The name "McDoo" is actually more of a [[Gaelic]] name than a Nordic one.
* Dave Bjornborg bears a striking resemblance to [[Dethklok]] vocalist Nathan Explosion, the latter of whom is in turn derived from [[George Fisher (musician)|George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher]], the singer of [[Cannibal Corpse]].
* The name "Schenkel" may be a reference to [[Scorpions (band)|Scorpions]] rhythm guitarist [[Rudolf Schenker]].
* The fact that there are two Daves in the band may be a reference to the heavy metal band [[Megadeth]].
