Eels is an American alternative/acoustic indie rock band formed by singer/songwriter Mark Oliver Everett, better known as "Mr. E" or simply E. Other members rotate frequently, both in the studio and on stage. Eels were officially founded in 1995 when Jonathan 'Butch' Norton and E met Tommy Walter. The name "Eels" was chosen so that the band's records would be close to E's solo records in an alphabetical ordering. In 1996 the band released their debut album Beautiful Freak.

Lyrics:
I am el hombre lobo On the prowl for a restless night I got her right here in my sights Got a fuse that I can light She's tremendous She's dynamite
She is a formidable opponent She could put up a hard won fight Got her head screwed on real tight Being the bomb is her birthright She's tremendous She's dynamite
She's tremendous dynamite
I am el hombre lobo On the prowl just past midnight Darting under the town searchlights It's all worth it to take a bite She's tremendous She's dynamite
