If the band was an animal, they'd be: a pair of hamsters on speed, forever running together in their wheel
Or if they were a food, they'd be: an open bar where everything's mixed with Red Bull
What about a piece of furniture?: two spinning office chairs
Okay, how about something to wear?: that spinning beanie that lifts Calvin from Calvin & Hobbes off the ground
