'''Limozeen''' was the last proposed band name, who later went on to appear many times as a band in the Homestar Runner universe. Their members are named in a similar fashion to bands such as the [[Ramones]]: [[Larry Palaroncini|Larry]], [[Gary Palaroncini|Gary]], [[Perry Palaroncini|Perry]] and [[Mary Palaroncini]], with guests [[Harry Palaroncini|Harry]] and [[Terry Palaroncini]].

'''Limozeen''' was the final name proposed by Strong Bad, accompanied by a soft acoustic guitar sound. Later entries in the Homestar Runner body of work would establish Limozeen as a {{w|glam metal}} group, sounding closer to the riffs that accompanied Lazor or Bigg Nife in this toon.

The band, at one point, had a Saturday morning cartoon based on them entitled [[Limozeen: But They're In Space!]]. Produced by [[Metalmation]], its premise was the band giving backstage passes to [[Groupulon 5]] and making sure metal music stayed #1 throughout the galaxy. The show was cancelled during its pilot episode, which is said to have aired once. Strong Bad was able to capture it on VHS, as shown in [[best thing]]. Since then, various segments based on the show have appeared, mostly in Easter egg form.

"WE'RE FROM THE BAND LIMOZEEN!"

Multiple bands throughout the Homestar Runner body of work were introduced in the Strong Bad Email band names, when an emailer named Dan asked Strong Bad for band name suggestions, besides his own ideas "invisible robot fish" and "for good or for awesome".

Strong Bad first suggests using "a really cool last name", citing Van Halen, Dokken and "Z'nuff", before suggesting taking "a really cool word but then spell[ing] it all wrong". He offers four suggestions: "Lazor", "Bigg Nife" (an indirect reference to i love you), "Limozeen" and "Taranchula". All four would see later reference as in-universe bands, to varying degrees.
