Hampton - from the Hampster Dance song. The Hampster Dance was originally created by a Canadian arts student named Deirdre LaCarte, who was having a competition with her sister to see who could get the most web page views. The Hampster Dance went viral and ended up being made into a single. It made the Top 40 in Canada. I think it's safe to say Deirdre won the competition.
