- The video is the work of Matthias Fritsch. The viking is unknown.
- To add to the romance of the surroundings, some Indians approached within view; they were about to get into a canoe. One of them told us that they were from far away down the Sound; he was a boy, much darker than the Indians of our neighborhood, but with light, clear eyes, and an intelligent expression. Indeed he was surprisingly handsome, but like all Indians he was dirty, with nothing on but a soiled hickory shirt. On his back he ‘carried a basket of small potatoes which he had obtained from the soldiers. Later, as twilight came on, the clear surface of the water was marked by the light gliding of Indians in their canoes, spearing for fish, of which there was great abundance. They filled the air with their wild discordant songs. It revealed the poetry of Indian life, to which the many stern realities bear a sad contrast.
- TechnoViking 100% OFFICIAL Song (youtube.com)
FINALLY! The official version of the song that is played on the TechnoViking video. Some said it was Panderator…Some said it was Can-D-Music. WELL! I played around with the songs a bit, and made quite possibly the biggest human discovery since steamed toast. It is actually Navigator by Can-D-Music, but the DJs in the original TechnoViking video had it sped up either on purpose, or on accident. This uses a 96.5:100 compression ratio. Speed up to 1:30 and you’ll recognize the song instantly. Enjoy all of you TV fans!

This is the internet’s final boss.
- There is a fake (and poorly written parody) interview that claimes the Technoviking was a lumberjack-turned-biologist and was high on speed during the event. Unfortunately these claims are often repeated.
