[[Pomplamoose]] are a quirky music duo consisting of Nataly Dawn and Jack Conte. Their genre could [[Neoclassical Punk Zydeco Rockabilly|probably be described best as]] "Indie [[Alternative Rock]] [[Jazz]] Pop Rock". They became popular on [[YouTube]] in late 2009 with some covers of pop songs (see [[Cover Album]], below), and also have lots of original music. They also appeared in a few tv commercials for Hyundai and Toyota.
 
They also have a distinctive style of music videos called "VideoSongs";

* [[Adorkable]]: Both of them, [[Up to Eleven]]. Just watch any of their behind-the-scenes videos. Or any of their videos at all.
* [[Bilingual Bonus]]: "Pomplamoose" is a made-up word that sounds like ''pamplemousse"'', the French word for grapefruit.
* [[Bowdlerization]]: Invoked/lampshaded in their Single Ladies cover:
{{quote|"Don't make me sing this part of the song, the lyrics are so bad, so we're going to skip ahead to the "single ladies" part instead."}}
* [[Cover Album]]: Their album ''Tribute to Famous People'' includes:

[[Beyoncé|Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)]]<br />
[[Michael Jackson|Beat It]]<br />
[[Aerosmith|I Don't Want to Miss a Thing]]<br />
[[Lady Gaga|Telephone]] }}
* [[The Cover Changes the Meaning]]: Some of their covers, arguably.
