In Mike's absence, I'll respond. Even an expatriate Canadian vegetarian teetotaler knows about Buckaroo Banzai and his adventures across the 8th dimension!
From Wikipedia: "Buckaroo Banzai is the lead character, played by Peter Weller, of the eponymous 1984 cult film, The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension. A renaissance man, the character is a top neurosurgeon, particle physicist, race car driver, rock star and comic book hero, and probably the last hope of the human race. In the film, his latest experiments open the door to the 8th dimension and unwittingly start an interplanetary battle for the world."
Mike's YouTube link takes you to The Trashmen's "Surfin' Bird" - I need add nothing there.
