Homunculus Loxodontus
Homunculus Loxodontus is also known as Zhdun, “The One Who Waits”, Snorp, Wosh and Ждун.
The Leiden University Medical Center originally awarded artist Margriet Van Brevoort a grant to create the sculpture for an annual art competition held by the Leiden Sculpture Foundation, where the sculptural theme for 2016 competition was biological sciences. Brevoort did not want to depict something related to the grim side of medicine or disease, and instead focused on the patients, ordinary people waiting to see a doctor for a diagnosis. According to her, the sculpture meant to convey the message that “you should calmly wait for diagnosis with hope for the best”.

L. Crockett reworked it and recorded It’s A Man Down There. There have been many covers since, with The Allman Bros. Band‘s 1971 version being the best known.

Felix Semper‘s paper sculptures are trippy as all heck, and the reason for it is even better. [h/t Suz P.]
Andy Bean & Fuller Condon, aka The Two Man Gentlemen Band, got some damn hot licks for having such clean hands.
Batmobile was founded in 1983:
After several months of covering Elvis Presley, Johnny Burnette en Gene Vincent songs, Jeroen Haamers (vocals/guitar), Johnny Zuidhof (drums) and Eric Haamers (double bass) decide to start writing their own material.
Best part happens at 1:17.
Hillbilly Moon Explosion is done with that truck but keeps driving anyway.
Okay, that’s it for now, gotta save something for then. See you tomorrow.
