'''Limozeen''' is a [[Heavy Metal|heavy metal]] band. Broadly a parody of the [[glam metal]] genre, the musical style and general appearance of Limozeen spoofs bands such as [[Mötley Crüe]] or [[Poison (band)|Poison]] that were popular in the 1980s (in a similar manner to fictional group [[Spinal Tap]]). Their appearances reference common elements of hair metal, including gaudy appearances with heavily styled long hair and flashy, tight colorful or leather clothing combined with tours marked by [http://www.snopes.com/fact-check/brown-out/ demanding contract riders] and seeking out groupies. Limozeen's music similarly follows genre conventions with upbeat rock anthems and catchy guitar riffs, with simplistic lyrics about partying, women, and the name of any street in LA.
 
In [[Free Country, USA]], the band's popularity is demonstrated by their multiple [[concert]] tours and their serving as judges for the [[Baddest of the Bands]] competition. [[Strong Bad]] especially admires Limozeen: he has seen them in concert multiple times, owns autographed memorabilia, and personally knows the lead singer.
 
The members of Limozeen are played variously by [[Matt Chapman]] and friends while wearing outrageous [[1980s in fashion|'80s-style]] blonde wigs and clothing. In addition to appearing in toons on the site, Limozeen has been featured in real-world merchandise, musical recordings, video games, and live concert performances.

Limozeen's first appearance
 
</div>
 
</div>
 
</div>
&quot;Limozeen&quot; was [[Bands from band names|among the band names]] in the [[Strong Bad Email]] [[band names]], where Strong Bad suggested the sender &quot;take a really cool word but then spell it all wrong&quot; and distorted the word &quot;limousine&quot;. This email also introduced their logo, with a design reminiscent of [[AC/DC|ACϟDC]] with a similar font and central lightning bolt. However, this iteration of the band had a completely different sound exemplified by a soft acoustic guitar riff. The email [[monster truck]] was the first true appearance of the band: a quartet of blonde men (four images of [[Donnie Chapman]] dressed as [[Vince Neil]] on Halloween 1987), with defined names and a new, metal sound (via a snippet of &quot;Because, It's Midnite&quot;). In the email [[flashback]], [[Matt Chapman]] portrayed all the members of the band; he continues to voice all four in toons and plays Larry in live action video and performances.
 
In 2007, &quot;Because, It's Midnite&quot; was included in the real-world video game ''[[Guitar Hero]] [[Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s|Encore: Rocks the 80s]]'', as the lead developer was a fan of [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]]. It is the only song in the game that was neither released nor popularized in the 1980s.
 
<span id="fictional-history"></span>
=== <span class="mw-headline">Fictional history</span> ===
 
Limozeen has been touring since at least [[1987]], continuing to headline concert tours well into the 2000s. In later years, the band has performed [[Record Store Day|multiple reunion tours]] or [[Marzipan's Answering Machine Version 17.2|planned sequels to former hits]].
 
The band attempted to expand into other markets (similar to [[Kiss merchandising|extensive merchandising by the band Kiss]]), albeit with limited success. The '87 tour was promoted with a [[Limozeen Coloring Book|coloring book]] and matching set of crayons. Their [[Saturday-morning cartoon]] ''[[Limozeen: "but they're in space!"]]'' saw the band journey into [[Outer Space|outer space]] — however, its cancellation was announced ''during'' its [[Television pilot|pilot episode]] by the band's producer [[Teeg Dougland]]. Tie-in game [[Limozeen's Hot Babelien Odyssey]] was released for the [[Videlectrix]] [[FunMachine]].

</div>
The members of Limozeen all share rhyming first names, long blonde hair, and the surname Palaroncini. According to Larry (in the [[coloring|coloring DVD commentary]]), he is &quot;not sure&quot; if they are related or if they are simply using pseudonyms like the [[Ramones]]. They live in [[Staten Island]], in the basement of a supportive woman who might be their mother. The last name ''Palaroncini'' evokes an [[Italian Americans|Italian heritage]], although it is not an actual surname. The name may be a reference to the Italian [[Friggitello|pepperoncini]] peppers or [[Sicilian Americans|Sicilian]] surname [[Chazz Palminteri|Palminteri]]. In addition, their hometown of Staten Island is one of the five boroughs of [[New York City|New York]], a city that is well-known in real life for [[Italians in New York City|its large Italian-American population]].

Typically, songs are heard individually in toons or contributed to compilation albums. To date, ''[[Archive'd n' Live'd]]'' is the only album to solely consist of Limozeen songs.
'''Limozeen''' is a [[hair metal]] band that [[Strong Bad]] admires; he even has an autographed picture of the members. There was a cartoon based on the band that was set in [[Outer Space|outer space]], entitled ''[[Limozeen: "but they're in space!"|Limozeen: "But they're in space!"]]''. However, its cancellation was announced ''during'' the pilot episode by [[Teeg Dougland]], the band's producer. They even have their own [[Limozeen Coloring Book|coloring book]], which was published for the 1989 Limozeen "Ladies, We're Staying in Room 302 at the Ramada" Tour. Limozeen has made some strange albums, including one called ''Feed the Childrens'', though it could just be a single. Strong Bad featured one of the songs on this album as number two in his [[bottom 10]] because the lyrics mainly consisted of "la la's", "na na's", and "doot do's".

<span id="tours"></span>
The members of Limozeen are played by [[The Brothers Chaps]] and their friends while wearing outrageous [[1980s|'80s-style]] blonde wigs and clothing. In some cases, the same person plays all the members of the band. In the [[Limozeen Thanksgiving E-Cards]], four different people played the members of Limozeen. In the email [[flashback]], [[Matt Chapman]] is everybody in Limozeen, while in [[monster truck]], all the members are played by [[Donnie Chapman]].
== <span class="mw-headline">Tours</span> ==


<div class="thumb tright">
In 2007, Limozeen received "mainstream" exposure with the inclusion of their song "[[Because, It's Midnite]]" on the ''[[Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s|Rocks the 80s]]'' edition of the ''[[Guitar Hero]]'' video game franchise. This is the second time that a song from the [[Homestar Runner (body of work)|Homestar Runner]] body of work has appeared in a Guitar Hero title, the first being Strong Bad's "[[Trogdor (song)|Trogdor]]" as an unlockable bonus in ''[[Guitar Hero II]]''.


<div class="thumbinner" style="width:252px;">
== Name ==


[[File:pablo phoenix.png|[[File:pablo_phoenix.png|250px|thumb]]]]
Their name was born from the email [[band names]] and their logo is reminiscent of [[AC/DC]]'s, having a similar font and lightning bolt in the center. The band consists of four blonde men with rhyming names (with their black-haired cousins Harry and Terry from [[Long Island]] occasionally contributing rhythm guitar and keyboard, respectively). It is unclear if they are brothers, or if they are named [[Ramones]]-style.
<div class="thumbcaption">


<div class="magnify">
Their last name, Palaroncini, evokes an Italian heritage. "Pala" is Italian for "shovel" and "roncini" translates into "roncin", the French word for "workhorse" or "stallion". Therefore, Palaroncini would translate as "stallion shovel".

Limozeen is a hair metal band that Strong Bad admires; he even has an autographed picture of the members. There was a cartoon based on the band that was set in outer space, entitled Limozeen: "But they're in space!". However, its cancellation was announced during the pilot episode by Teeg Dougland, the band's producer. They even have their own coloring book, which was published for the 1989 Limozeen "Ladies, We're Staying in Room 302 at the Ramada" Tour. Limozeen has made some strange albums, including one called Feed the Childrens, though it could just be a single. Strong Bad featured one of the songs on this album as number two in his bottom 10 because the lyrics mainly consisted of "la la's", "na na's", and "doot do's".

The members of Limozeen are played by The Brothers Chaps and their friends while wearing outrageous '80s-style blonde wigs and clothing. In some cases, the same person plays all the members of the band. In the Limozeen Thanksgiving E-Cards, four different people played the members of Limozeen. In the email flashback, Matt Chapman is everybody in Limozeen, while in monster truck, all the members are played by Donnie Chapman.

In 2007, Limozeen received "mainstream" exposure with the inclusion of their song "Because, It's Midnite" on the Rocks the 80s edition of the Guitar Hero video game franchise. This is the second time that a song from the Homestar Runner body of work has appeared in a Guitar Hero title, the first being Strong Bad's "Trogdor" as an unlockable bonus in Guitar Hero II.

Name

Their name was born from the email band names and their logo is reminiscent of AC/DC's, having a similar font and lightning bolt in the center. The band consists of four blonde men with rhyming names (with their black-haired cousins Harry and Terry from Long Island occasionally contributing rhythm guitar and keyboard, respectively). It is unclear if they are brothers, or if they are named Ramones-style.

Their last name, Palaroncini, evokes an Italian heritage. "Pala" is Italian for "shovel" and "roncini" translates into "roncin", the French word for "workhorse" or "stallion". Therefore, Palaroncini would translate as "stallion shovel".
