<u>Music/Sounds Trivia</u>: "Bite Me" originally appeared at the end of the CD version of Weird Al's album ''Off the Deep End'' as a hidden track, designed to scare listeners who forgot to turn the CD off and thus were unaware that the song was coming after 10 minutes of silence. It is a parody of the Nirvana song "Endless, Nameless", which appeared at the end of their landmark album ''Nevermind'' (with its album cover and hit single "Smells Like Teen Spirit" parodied as "Smells Like Nirvana" on the aforementioned Weird Al album) and similarly featured scary-sounding music (though, arguably not as sudden). |

<u>Editor's Note</u>: This logo has a reputation as one of the scariest logos on television due to the flashing lights, cacophonous music, and it following a show that was meant for children. As mentioned above, the music was originally created to scare people (albeit as a joke), and the flashing lights added to that. It is quite effective in that regard, though some will find it funny for that reason. The slowed down version might help a little bit, but not by much since the flashing is still pretty fast, and the difference is not even that noticeable anyways. |

Nicknames: "The Flashing Words", "DAAAAH! DILALALILILWAWAWAWAWA!!!!", "The Bite Me Logo", "Black-and-White Police Siren on Steroids", "Ear/Eye Breaker", "Grayscale Flashing", "Metal Ear Booker"
Logo: On a rapidly flashing black and white background, we see the words "EAR BOOKER PRODUCTIONS" in FF Blur (a blobby version of Helvetica) zooming in, inverting its colors accompanying with the flashing background, and stopping in the center.
Variant: A variant exists in which the logo plays at a slightly slower speed than usual.
FX/SFX: The flashing and zooming.
Music/Sounds: A condensed version of the "Weird Al" Yankovic song "Bite Me". It consists of several synth shattering effects, a cacophony of loud guitars, and Weird Al screaming at the top of his lungs.
Music/Sounds Trivia: "Bite Me" originally appeared at the end of the CD version of Weird Al's album Off the Deep End as a hidden track, designed to scare listeners who forgot to turn the CD off and thus were unaware that the song was coming after 10 minutes of silence. It is a parody of the Nirvana song "Endless, Nameless", which appeared at the end of their landmark album Nevermind (with its album cover and hit single "Smells Like Teen Spirit" parodied as "Smells Like Nirvana" on the aforementioned Weird Al album) and similarly featured scary-sounding music (though, arguably not as sudden).
Availability: Seen on The Weird Al Show. It made a surprise reappearance on "Weird Al" Yankovic Live!: The Alpocalypse Tour, in which this is where the slowed down variant appears.
Editor's Note: This logo has a reputation as one of the scariest logos on television due to the flashing lights, cacophonous music, and it following a show that was meant for children. As mentioned above, the music was originally created to scare people (albeit as a joke), and the flashing lights added to that.
