    He was a one hit wonder.
    That seventies hair, that porn star mustache!
    He has a pet monkey named Amelia.
    He wrote TV's first ever VR game for Nickelodeon named 'Eat a Bug.'
    Listening to his song 'Ariel' will screw up the movie 'The Little Mermaid' for you for all time.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He wrote probably the only song in history about a Jewish, vegetarian, stoner chick from New Jersey.
    He worked local Paramus, New Jersey place names into his music.
    He's a happily married family man.
    He was big in the UK.
    He has made major contributions to video and music technology and owns his own production company.
    'McDonald's Girl' was banned in the UK because it used a company's name without permission.
    The Barenaked Ladies (!) have named him as an influence, especially for their song 'Kate.'
    Thankfully, as of 2010 no one has remade 'Ariel.'
    He has an excellent website.
