Perhaps their best-known piece is the theme tune for the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The song "Chewbacca (What a Wookie)" has often been incorrectly credited to Nerf Herder (it was actually performed by Supernova on the Clerks. soundtrack).
Some of their songs that get significant college radio airplay include: "Sorry", "Pantera Fans in Love", "Pervert", "Courtney", "Karaoke King" and "5000 ways to die".
Diana
Nerf Herder Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She was standing with the French girl
Bonsoir joulie poupe'e
Yeah she had a beautiful smile
And they met at face to face
Went back to his place, she sat on his face
And now it's history, the rest is history
She sat on his face and the rest is history
That's why he cried
He lost, he lost everything
That's why he cried
He lost it all
He lost it all to Diana (Diana)
Part German, part Hispanic
Diana (Filipino)
Diana, where did you go?
I saw her downtown
She was hanging with The Cougar
She was hanging out with Steve and that was where she wanted to be
She was workin' at the place where they sell veal parmesan
Now she's gone, now she's gone, yeah she's gone oh so gone
That's why he cried
He lost, he lost everything
That's why he cried
He lost it all
He lost it all to Diana (Diana)
Part German, part Hispanic
Diana (Filipino)
Diana where did you go?
The song "Diana" by Nerf Herder tells a story of a man who seems to have fallen deeply in love with a woman named Diana. The song opens by describing how the man sees Diana at a club with another girl, and remarks on her beauty and smile. The lyrics then take a sexual turn, as it is revealed that Diana and the man engage in sexual activity later that night. However, there is a hint of regret in the lyrics as the man struggles to come to terms with losing everything to Diana. He recalls seeing her downtown with other people and notes that she has left and is gone. In the end, the man seems to be left heartbroken as he continues to ask where Diana has gone.
The song seems to be a cautionary tale about the dangers of being seduced by beauty and sexual desire, and the consequences that can follow. The singer's sorrow and heartbreak suggest that he may have lost more than just his heart to Diana, and that she may have represented a certain danger to him. It is unclear whether the singer is the singer or whether he is simply telling the story of someone else, but the emotion in the lyrics suggests a deep connection to the heart of the story.
