"Badgers", also known informally as "Badger Badger Badger" or "The Badger Song", is a Flash animated meme by British animator Jonti Picking, also known as Mr Weebl. It consists of 12 animated cartoon badgers doing calisthenics, a mushroom in front of a tree, and a snake in the desert. The Flash cartoon is accompanied by a bass line, above which a voiceover sings the names of what is shown on screen.[1]
The Flash cartoon went live on B3ta.com on 2 September 2003 at 3:49 a.m. GMT.[2] The cartoon loops indefinitely.
According to Mr Weebl, the inspiration behind "The Badger Song" comes from the song Saturday Night by Whigfield:[2] "[Saturday Night] has a duck quacking throughout. I decided that the tune needed an annoying squeak sound in the background. The lyrics were meant to be a placeholder, but much like The Riddle by Nik Kershaw, the placeholder became the actual thing."
