The meme is a reference to the song “Bulls on Parade” by Rage Against The Machine. Go to this video, skip to 0:22, the guitar riffs will sound like “wow, wow, wocka, wow wow, wocka wocka wocka” (“wow” being a phrase Owen Wilson is associated with, and “wocka wocka” being Fozzie Bear’s catchphrase).

But there’s a 3rd face in the background?

Great band, was my favorite as a teenager in early 2000s.

It was a dream come true when they reunited “recently”. I held tickets 3 times in my hands, but the show was cancelled everytime (covid, Zack’s injury), and now it seems like they are disbanded again, so it’s never going to happen.

Still, I saw Morello last year, he played some of these RATM riffs, so at least I have that off the bucket list.

I jam the song all the time…but I didn’t get it until you explained it. Hahaha. Hilarious, thanks for clarifying.

Pretty great op post as well.

Same. Never would have occurred to me to describe the onomatopoeia that way.
