I may be a little late to the party on this one considering their Wiki page says they’ve been around since 2001, but long story short, there’s a band out there called ArnoCorps who dress up like Schwarzenegger and whose songs are all about Schwarzenegger movies. I think you’ll agree, few subjects have ever been so worthy of song.
ArnoCorps claim to be inspired by ancient folklore and mythology originating from the alps of their “native” Austria. ArnoCorps went further to charge several Hollywood movie studios with “stealing” the lore and mythology of Austria for plot material and dialogue in the films they have parodied. The band attempted to launch a class-action lawsuit against the studios on behalf of the Austrian people in 2004, which failed to make it to court.
The band’s stage show sees all five members dressed in combat fatigues and camouflage paint (most likely inspired by Predator and Commando) and address the audience in false Austrian accents. Each band member uses a pseudonym and they also claim to have six deceased former members. For some time ArnoCorps had two bass players in their line-up (an arrangement they referred to as “heroic symmetry”).
Perhaps the record industry can be saved from imploding now.
