  "Whatareya?" is a song by Australian alternative rock band, TISM, released in July 1998 as the third single from their fourth studio album www.tism.wanker.com. "Whatareya?" peaked at number 66 on the ARIA Charts.
  
  ## Reception
  
  Junkee said, "No song that starts with the words, 'I'm a wanker' repeated ad nauseum [sic] deserves to be this good. But that’s the thing about TISM — they’re masters of turning shit into diamonds, and vice versa, grubbying up the established norms of Australian rock and pop and making jokes about James Hird seem like Shakespearean wordplay."
  
  ## Video
  
  The video was directed by Craig Melville and follows a scene very reminiscent of an early morning aerobics television show, Aerobics Oz Style in which TISM are in the class. After a very short time the members of TISM are depicted as being quite fatigued with the exercise routine and take a rest – some members bring in a couch to sit on and a television to watch, meanwhile another member brings an esky of beer and a football is introduced, with some members playing a makeshift game of Australian football. All the while, the exercisers continue their work-out routine. It is not until the main exerciser (and presumably host of the show) knocks and spills one TISM members' beer, that the band becomes hostile towards the presenter, whom they drag to the ground and severely beat and kick as pandemonium overcomes the video, the director calls cut and a TISM member covers the camera lens with his hand, ending the clip.
