"Whatareya" was the third single that Australian alternative rock band TISM pulled from their fourth album, www.tism.wanker.com, and Shock put it out in 1998. The writing credit is split among Eugene Paul Mark Cester, Damian Cowell, John Angus Holt, Peter Minack and James Desmond Paull, the band produced it with Magoo, who also recorded and mixed it, and it got to 66 on the ARIA chart.
Junkee marveled that a song opening with its narrator insulting himself over and over had no business being this good. Craig Melville's video drops the band into a scene straight out of an early-morning TV aerobics show like Aerobics Oz Style, where they soon wilt, haul in a couch, a television and an esky of beer, and start a scratch game of Aussie rules while the rest of the class keeps sweating.
