The Party Posse

Party Posse The
The Simpson’s foray into the world of Boy Bands (with a very special cameo by N*Sync) gave us a chance to join the Navy; that is if we fell for the hidden messages to enlist. In reality, they couldn’t sing a lick and were typecast to fill Boy Band roles. Does that mean they are realistic contenders here?




The Bullet Points:
TV Show Appeared:
The Simpsons (2001)

Actors:
The Fictional Band:
Bart Simpson
Milhouse Van Houten
Nelson Muntz
Ralph Wiggum

Songs you might remember:
Drop Da Bomb
Let’s Re-Up Tonight

Why you should vote for them:
Didn’t they have a level of success in the Springfield world?

Why you should not vote for them:
It’s a Boy Band. We are calling this the Fictitious ROCK and ROLL Hall of Fame after all.

The Partridge Family

Partridge Family The
Come on get happy! The Partridge Family may have been campy and the songs were a little on the cheesy side, but this was a very successful program for four years. Music wise, there was nothing deep about what they recorded, but that was never expected from the bubblegum genre. In that aspect, they represented themselves well as they delivered everything you wanted from that type of act; cute songs, a teen idol up front and harmless lyrics.


The teen idol in question was breakout star was David Cassidy, who embarked on a solid touring career and was more musically capable than he got credit for. The mother (Shirley Jones) could also sing, but borrowing from Reggie Jackson, it was Cassidy who was the star who stirred the drink for the show. Still, the smart-ass banter between Rueben Kinkaid (Dave Madden) and Danny Partridge (Danny Bonaduce) added a lot to show, as did the cuteness of Susan Dey, who played teen daughter, Laurie Partridge.

As unrealistic as it may have seemed for a family to want to go out and form a singing group, this was based on the real life family band, the Cowsills, who were initially asked to be in the show. Somehow, we don’t see anybody else other than the group that was cast in that multi-colored bus. Now Come On, Get Happy!



The Bullet Points:
TV Show Appeared:
The Partridge Family (1970-74)

Actors:
Shirley Jones (Shirley Partridge, Backup Vocals, Keyboard, Percussion)
David Cassidy (Keith Partridge, Lead Vocals & Lead Guitar)
Susan Dey (Laurie Partridge, Keyboard and Backup Vocals)
Danny Bonaduce (Danny Partridge, Bass)
Jeremy Gelbwaks (Season One) & Brian Forster (Seasons Two-Four) (Chris Partridge, Drums)
Suzanne Crough (Tracy Partridge, Tambourine)
Ricky Segall (Ricky Stevens, Singer)

Songs you might remember:
Come On, Get Happy
I Think I Love You

Why you should vote for them:
Four years of a hit TV Show, and the creation of a major star at the time (Cassidy) counts for a lot. They also had a number one hit (I Think I Love You) and four other top twenty hits.

Why you should not vote for them:
Only Cassidy and Jones had any musical talent. That drummer kid did shit, which was more than the tambourine player. Bonaduce clearly had no idea what to do with the bass guitar. Susan Dey gets a pass, as she was cute.

Otis Lee Crenshaw

Otis Lee Crenshaw
Rich Hall may not have achieved that much fame for his work on Saturday Night Live and Fridays, but he has gained a bit of success for his Country Music alter ego, Otis Lee Crenshaw. Crenshaw is Tennessee born, married seven times and has been incarcerated a dozen times. His signature song is the prison rape song, “He Almost Looks Like You” which might be enough for anyone to consider voting for him. Otis Lee Crenshaw actually has a CD out and did a tour with his backing band, The Black Liars.  




The Bullet Points:
Album Appeared:
London Not Tennessee

Actor:
Rich Hall

Songs you might remember:
He Almost Looks Like You

Why you should vote for him:
How many other times do you have to induct someone who sang about prison rape?

Why you should not vote for him:
Many people are unaware of the character; much like they are unaware of Hall himself.

Otis Day and the Knights

Otis Day and the Knights
Just how popular was National Lampoon’s Animal House? It created a demand for the fictitious band that performed “Shout” at the Delta’s toga party. That band was called Otis Day and the Knights and the man who played Otis, (DeWayne Jessie) who was actually lip syncing someone else, formed a touring band and adopted the Otis Day moniker. As much as we loved them at the frat house, we loved them more when they played the Dexters Lake Club, which was only frequented by black patrons; until the Deltas got there.




The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Animal House (1978)

Actors:
DeWayne Jessie
Robert Cray
Robert Bailey
Sonny King
Tommy Smith
Juan Steen

Songs you might remember:
Shout
Shama Lama Ding Dong

Why you should vote for them:
They parlayed their role into an actual career.

Why you should not vote for them:
Basically, they pretended they were someone else.
