Mechadon, I went once when I was 7 and I don't recall any hobos. But then... I was 7. I'm from Nova Scotia, and most of the stereotypes about us are pretty accurate.
I'm new, but it seems kinda dead here. Oh well, I can live with that.
I watched Samurai Pizza Cats on YTV at lunch time every day when I was in elementary school (I'm 22 now, don't ask what I'm doing here). I remember being a big fan of Speedy, though I don't know what I saw in him now that I'm older and wiser. I also loved Bad Bird, but I can totally see why he was a favourite. And I flip-flopped with what gender I perceived the Big Cheese as. I was too young to understand crossdressing (seven or eight and pretty innocent) and his voice threw me for a loop, too. I think I eventually landed on woman, and watching it now I got quite a surprise.
I'm generally not a big anime fan (with a few exceptions, Miyazaki stuff being one) but I love the ridiculous humour in this show, the dub particularly, and I find it's pretty entertaining for an adult with a warped sense of humour. And it's one of the few good things in entertainment to come out of Canada. I'm allowed to say that because I'm Canadian.
I would have to say that Killer Queen, by, you guessed it, Queen, reminds me of our dear Big Cheese. Other than that I have yet to stumble upon any songs that remind me of any other characters.
