Sweet Sue and the Society Syncopators
From the brilliant and classic film, Some Like it Hot, we have Sugar Kane (Marilyn Monroe) as the lead singer of the all-female band, Sweet Sue and the Society Syncopators. The film is set in 1929, and also stars Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon as two unemployed musicians who are escaping Chicago after witnessing the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre. To do so, they go in drag and join Sweet Sue’s band and as predicted fall for Monroe. This is considered to me a comedic gem, but is a musical one?




The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Some Like it Hot (1959)

Actors:
Marilyn Monroe (Sugar Kane)
Tony Curtis (“Josephine”)
Jack Lemmon (“Daphne”)
Joan Lawlee (Sweet Sue)

Songs you might remember:
I Want to be Loved You

Why you should vote for them:
This film is the definition of a classic.

Why you should not vote for them:
Somehow, a 1920’s band doesn’t seem to fit for this Hall of Fame.

The Sweeney Sisters

Sweeney Sisters The
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.




The Bullet Points:
TV Show Appeared:
Saturday Night Live (1986-89)

Actors:
Jan Hooks (Candy Sweeney)
Nora Dunn (Liz Sweeney)

Songs you might remember:
None

Why you should vote for them:
In a downtime for SNL, this was one of the more memorable sketches.

Why you should not vote for them:
Goofy Lounge Singers probably don’t belong in the Hall of Fame.

The Swanky Modes

Swanky Modes The
From the musically savvy film, Tapeheads, we have two down and out music enthusiasts who meet their childhood idols, the “Swanky Modes”, who were played by legit musical legends Junior Walker and Sam Moore. The enthusiasts (played by John Cusack and Tim Robbins) hijack a Menudo concert and broadcast the video around the world, so that everyone can remember how great the Swanky Modes were. Maybe all Menudo concerts should have been hijacked?




The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Tapeheads (1988)

Actors:
Sam Moore (Billy Diamond)
Junior Walker (Lester Diamond)

Songs you might remember:
Ordinary Man

Why you should vote for them:
They are played by musical legends and are treated that way in the film.

Why you should not vote for them:
Tapeheads was a cult hit, but that was about it.

Swan

Swan
We always thought that this was the role that Paul Williams was meant to play. The diminutive actor got to flex his acting chops, singing skills and songwriting in the role of Swan; the satanic record label mogul. What may work in his favor for induction is that it was Williams who provided the singing voice for the Phantom, though like all other Phantom of the Paradise nominees, a cult film faces an uphill battle.




The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Phantom of the Paradise (1974)

Actor:
Paul Williams

Songs you might remember:
The Hell of it

Why you should vote for him:
If there is anyone from this film that should get a look, it should be Williams.

Why you should not vote for him:
Like many cult films, it does not have a mass audience.
