Aside from the potentially offensive screenname, Fagottron is someone that was actually shared with me in an Art Ed. class last spring quarter. The most popular (according to the number of Youtube hits) is "Alice by far. I'm not exactly sure how to embed video, so I will provide the hyperlink.
The denotations of the artist's work are fairly similar and consistent. He (pretty sure the artist is a "he") takes iconic children's movies that are recognizable to most generations, and remixes them into electronic melodies using only sounds and clips from the movie to become something completely different.
Connotations are completely across the board. The most highly recognized "Alice" definitely has a hypnotic effect through the repetition of beat and "lyrics" (as seen in many others). Also the piece takes on a new meaning just like other types of art through what it chooses to emphasize. The repetition of words however is not always decipherable. For example in Alice, many comments from other viewers included:
"There is a long way to love that i ... gravel",
there is sail lawrence sail up -on- this -here- up grobble , and
"We choose to love and grovel"?
Alice in Wonderland is already fairly notorious for its association with hallucinogenics and marijuana because of the reference to the bright outlandish situations, and the caterpillar smoking from a huge unidentified contraption. This video only enhances the hallucinogenic experiences as it mixes up audio and video clips to create a more confusing yet interesting composition.
Here is the link to "Alice", the other videos can be located by clicking on the artist's screenname which will take you to the channel.
