The Sweeney Sisters
A regular sketch from the late 80’s on Saturday Night Live saw the Sweeney Sisters (Nora Dunn and Jan Hooks) who were a pair of big haired lounge singers who mashed up songs that usually ended into a creshendo where they would sing “Bang Bang Bang, Goes the Trolley” and nonsensical scats. Incidentally, there was a third Sweeney Sister, Audrey who was played by Mary Tyler Moore.
