If you're part of the Harry Potter generation, you probably remember the hit 2007 club banger "The Mysterious Ticking Noise" from Potter Puppet Pals. That video is exactly 10 years old now, so we're going to go drown in wizard angst over the passage of time.
In "The Mysterious Ticking Noise," Severus Snape wanders the blue-curtained halls of Hogwarts in search of the source of a "kind of catchy" ticking sound he can't seem to shake. He starts singing his name to the tempo of the ticking, and Dumbledore, Ron, Hermione and Harry catch on. The video has been viewed over 172 million times.
Potter Puppet Pals, created by Neil Cicierega, Emily Cicierega and Alora Lanzillotta, started in the early 2000s with animated videos of Harry Potter puppets, particularly one in which Ron bothers Snape. They quickly switched over to actual puppets and now perform and tour from time to time, often with wizard rock bands.
