Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet

.
Toronto-based rock trio (1984-91) credited with fusing the Punk style (Dead Kennedys e.g.) with Surf (the Ventures) into a distinctive but soon-imitated sound (sometimes called third-gen Surf).

The band usually recorded without vocals and has a number of EP's and CD's to its credit. Its last CD was released in 1995 but the band had effectively come to an end with the death of bassist Reid Diamond to cancer in 1991.

Televiewers may know Shadowy Men best from one particular song: "Having an Average Weekend," which was adopted by the Canadian satirical troupe Kids In The Hall as intro/outro music to the half-hour show of the same name.

.
"What was that band on the radio that played those interesting chords?"

"Dude, you've never heard of Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet? They were huge in the eighties and early nineties. Even did the theme music for 'Kids In The Hall' on TV."

Comotose trance like state, induced by involuntarily watching a non-descript unidentifiable table tennis match or similar dire trash , on a long haul economy flight overhead DVD system, prior to falling into the blessed relief of an irreverent coma ; from ,no doubt, over exertion of the brain .....???

get memed on

Pretty much means anything you want it to. Your teacher randomly gives you a pop quiz? You got memed on. You accidentally go left instead of right? Memed on. Originated solely because I started to say “get dabbed on” unironically, so I needed to think of something worse than that.
Dude, we are totally going to get memed on at the tournament this weekend.
