[[Zebrahead]] is a [[Punk Rap]] group consisting of Ali Tabatabaee, Matty Lewis, Ed Udhus, Ben Osmundson, and Greg Bergdorf, providing a bizarre yet interesting mix of high-energy rock guitar and high-energy hip-hop style singing. Over the years their style has evolved from a more funk hip-hop style in their early albums to a more refined hard rock sound, with rapping mixed in. Mostly unheard of in America, they're strangely popular in Japan. This was enough to warrant Ali and Matty being called on to perform the main theme to the 2006 [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] game, "His World", which (along with the rest of that game's soundtrack) is arguably the best thing about that game. They also came out with a full band remix of said song, which is [[Beyond the Impossible|arguably even cooler.]]
They also have a thing about singing womens' cover songs, as they released a cover of Wannabe (Yes, ''that'' Wannabe) by the Spice Girls (Yeah, ''those'' Spice Girls), and released a whole album of womens' pop covers, Panty Raid.

{{creatortropes}}
* [[Anti-Love Song]]: A few, of different flavors. Particularly "Enemy" and "Here's To You".
* [[Attractive Bent Gender]]: Averted. Oh, dear gods [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6LLSgyd7Cw averted].
** Although one or two members of the band have commented on how hot they thought Matty was as a girl.
* [[Dissonant Serenity]]: "Mental Health". Ali seems crazy through most of the song in the lyrics(About a patient in a mental hospital), and when Matty's lyrics come in he sings 'All I want is to go home, just for a bit...but these padded rooms are the shit!'. Moment of clarity, then back to the nut farm.
* [[Fun
* [[Good Adultery, Bad Adultery]]: "Two Wrongs Don't Make a Right, But Three Rights Make a Left" and "Sorry, But Your Friends are Hot" are...interesting cases. In the former, the cheater(The girlfriend) is portrayed as in the wrong, and in the latter the [[Sympathetic POV]] is with the cheater who seems to be a semi-guilty sex addict who wishes he could be faithful.
* [[Hot-Blooded]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Yb5P2dgcyU&feature=rec-LGOUT-real_rn-HM Hell Yeah!]
* [[Intercourse
* [[Long Title]]: ...There are a few of these. Special awards to "Mike Dexter Is a God, Mike Dexter Is a Role Model, Mike Dexter Is an Asshole".
* [[No Export for You]]: Many of the albums had Japanese bonus tracks, and the EPs "Stupid Fat Americans" and "Waste Of MFZB" were only released in Japan.
Line 37 ⟶ 35:
* [[Power of Friendship]]: Strength is about this.
* [[The Cover Changes the Gender|The Cover Doesn't Change The Gender]]: 'Wannabe' uses the word 'lover', which is gender neutral. Girlfriend stays the same, only with ten times the [[Crowning Music of Awesome|Awesome]] and twenty times the [[Crowning Moment of Funny|Funny]]. Hell, all of Panty Raid is leaves the lyrics the same.
* [[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made
