Line 2: [[File:voltaire03.jpg\|frame\|Voltaire. [[Mr. Fanservice\|Ain't he cute?]]]] Aurelio '''Voltaire''' is a musician, animator and comic book artist popular in the goth scene and among anime and sci-fi fans. Lately he's been crossing over into [[Steampunk]]. His most popular songs include "Brains" (Remember that episode of ''[[The Grim Adventures of Billy ~~and~~& Mandy]]'' with the brain-eating alien? Yeah, that was him.) and "When You're Evil". Most of his songs poke fun at the [[New York City]] goth scene, and anything else he either loves (''[[Star Trek]]'' & ''[[Star Wars]]'') or hates (New Jersey). He was born in Havana, Cuba. His family moved to Jersey when he was a child (which he hated) and currently lives in New York City. He does claymation, mainly channel I.D.s, which he started when he was only 10 years old. He currently teaches stop-motion animation at The School of Visual Arts in NYC when he's not touring. Line 119: * [[Off with His Head]]: in the song "The Headless Waltz." * [[One of Us]]: He wrote the "Sexy [[Star Trek: The Next Generation\|Data]] Tango", amongst a plethora of other ''[[Star Trek]]'' and ''[[Star Wars]]'' related songs, and is [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eluwirWWdZg incredibly proud of his work with Cartoon Network.] {{quote\|''I was on a plane...so I started watching that TV, y'know, the little TVs they have on the backs of people's heads on the plane?...So anyway, I was flipping through the channels, and I came up on [[Cartoon Network]], and as it happened, they were playing a movie called ''[[The Grim Adventures of Billy ~~and~~& Mandy\|Billy and Mandy]]'s Big Boogey Adventure''. I wrote and preformed the title track for this movie. So I'm sitting there and I'm looking at it and I'm like (''makes incredulous, happy face'') and then I realize I have no one to tell. I can't even use my phone! So eventually I just can't contain my enthusiasm and I start yelling "That's me! That-that that's me!"''}} * [[Open Mouth, Insert Foot]]: Dunce is all about this. The lyrics lament the fact that the narrator always says something offensive. * [[Otaku]]: Voltaire loves Lolita and also Japanese things it seems, though he also mocks it, especially in his comic Deady Big in Japan, which poked fun at every Japanese cliche he could fit. Line 167: * [[What Could Have Been]]: With his primary language being spanish, it would have been cool that he also sang "Brains" in Spain and [[Latin America]]. * [[What Do You Mean It's Not Heinous?]]: In ''Bomb New Jersey'' one of the first reasons he lists why that state sucks is "They all wear jeans that are Acid Wash, and yet they think I'm insane!" * [[Zombie Apocalypse]]: "Brains" with the [[The Grim Adventures of Billy ~~and~~& Mandy]] using the song to boot. Though "Brains" is about a brain-eating alien. Though, he does turn the entire town into mindless zombies within the show. * More fitting examples would be "Fear and Anguish", "Zombie Prostitute", and "Reggae Mortis". "Zombie Prostitute" and "Reggae Mortis" both feature zombies, but the only one that can really be described as an apocalypse is "Fear and Anguish".
