Parry Gripp is the founder of nerf herder, creator of strange songs with even stranger songtitles.
As a songwriter, Gripp is best known for fake jingles, as in his 2005 solo album For Those About to Shop, We Salute You - a 52-track concept album mimicking various musical styles as product commercials. He also maintains a song-of-the-week website and a YouTube channel on which he creates soundtracks to internet memes as well as music videos for his own novelty songs, with titles including "Do You Like Waffles?", "Space Unicorn" ,and "I'm Hungry."
Along with faux jingles, Gripp also creates some real advertising music, such as Beatles-inspired tunes promoting the Wawa Food Markets' Hoagiefest and songs for the Hallmark Cards e-characters hoops & yoyo.
