Form the above thread:

The Shunned were a fictional band in my city during late seventies punk days. Posters use to appear for their shows that were to be at vague local locations (ex. - "at the Shoe Store"). Many locals believed them to be real for a while, and were intrigued. They even had fictional members (Dick Chocolate, Jet Yellow, Doomy Number).

cotton candy from the ron howard b-movie of the same name!

and, p.s., i just looked up the imdb page on ron's brother clint, who starred in "cotton candy," and noticed that it fell in the middle of this consecutive streak of movies for clint:

"grand theft auto" (1977)
"i never promised you a rose garden" (1977)
"harper valley p.t.a." (1978)
"cotton candy" (1978)
"rock n roll high school" (1979)

i was initially impressed by #3 and #4 in that list, and wondered if he's the only actor in history who's had consecutive roles in movies named after the only major pop hit by a female country singer. (must remember to use that one in a trivia thread sometime.)

then i realized this was a full-on five-picture streak whose titles are a video game, two crossover country smashes, a fictional rock band, and a ramones classic.

in later years he has appeared in "an innocent man" (1989, unclear if billy joel is aware of this one), "ice cream man" (he had the title role in this 1995 pic, whose jonathan richman link may or may not have been coincidental), "that thing you do" (1996, fictional rock hit, yay) and, um, "beethoven's 5th" (2003).

i hereby declare clint howard most.awesome.actor.evah.

The Rutles had some great ones that transcended the parody bit ("Cheese and Onions" is majestic, "Get Up And Go" is almost better than "Get Back," and "I Must Be In Love" would have been huge in 1965).

The Beets really did have something good going on, especially when they got Mr. Bone in with the yodelling. Doug and Skeeter's little garbage can band has also always sort of been the archetype of what I would want making musc to be like...

But the absolute definitive winner and still champeen of the thread is and always will be Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Far and away.

The Three Little Bops from Looney Tunes. It was the story of the Three Little Pigs, but in this version they had a jazz band, and instead of wanting to eat them, the big bad wolf wanted to join the band. Unfortunately the wolf was pretty much tone deaf until he managed to kill himself, but "didn't go to heaven, was the other place".

The moral of the story was explained by one of the pigs:

The big, bad wolf, he learned the rules! You gotta get hot to play real cool!

The beat combo's nomenclature was Vigilante Shipbuilders, and they were as Seventies type might sat, a power trio supergroup: of Missy Elliot (Lead vocals, beats, production), Danny MacNamara from Embrace (Vocals, guitars, and friend of Paul Weller- very important in the 90's!!!!!!), and Danbert Nobacon (Vocals, Political Strategist) from

Sweet & Sour was one of my fave TV shows. Man, I loved that damn song!

Driveshaft, of Lost.

But not really. It's just the only one I can think of.

"The hero of Espadair Street"

ie. danny weir aka. weirD and his band frozen gold. not as funny and glib an answer as some of the above, but that's a good book by one of my favorite authors (iain banks) the whole mythos and minutiae of the fictional band is really fleshed out well

also third or fourthing wyld stallyns

I had a Pavement tour EP that claimed they were touring with... *finds sleeve*

The Flotilla Chips
Parchmen
Temple's People
Slavegrinders
The Skin Music

Perhaps not 'favourites', but I've long assumed that they were all pretty bitchin', in a non-existent kind of way.
