Deadboy & the Elephantmen were a band from Louisiana until 2007, when they broke up. And then, no one really thought about them.
Until 2015. On The CW. Tuesday, March 17th, 2015, at 9PM ET - or, really, probably about three minutes after that. That's when this happened.
That, you see, was the night of the debut of a new series on The CW called iZombie. It lasted five seasons and it's on Netflix - and it's better than the title makes it sound. Highly recommended.
Immediately, this became the best known song by Deadboy & the Elephantmen.
It's not quite a zombie song, but it works as such. The song is very simply constructed - just guitar and drums. The band was, at this point in 2005 when the song was released, a 2-piece.
It's worth noting that Henry Rollins was a fan of Deadboy & the Elephantmen, so he used his radio and TV platforms to promote the band. You can see the 2-piece at work on Rollins's IFC show.
