[[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";

{{creatortropes}}
* [[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:

[[Beyonce (Music)Beyoncé|Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)]]<br />
[[Michael Jackson (Music)|Beat It]]<br />
[[Aerosmith (Music)|I Don't Want to Miss a Thing]]<br />
[[Lady Gaga (Music)|Telephone]] }}
* [[The Cover Changes the Meaning]]: Some of their covers, arguably.
* [[Everything Is an Instrument]]: They have ''lots and lots'' of real instruments, and then there's stuff like Polaroid cameras and Jack's own face...
* [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin]]: They seem to like this trope. "Tribute to Famous People", "the album you bought at our show (thanks for that)", etc.
* [[Lyrical Dissonance]]: "Bust your kneecaps", a upbeat, head-booping song about the various punishments that will be inflicted in you jilt the Don's daughter.
* [[Neoclassical Punk Zydeco Rockabilly]]: As stated above.
