- Wreck of the Snoop Nye The Slam Guy
- Wreck of The TCBCR
maxzorin's Wreck of the Toolman was also fairly popular at that time due to the Toolman fad.
In March 2011, a variation of the fad emerged, with the opening chords of the song playing on a radio or other device. These are usually surprise sites:
