Captain Bart and the Tequila Mockingbirds
In a fun look at a possible future for the Simpsons children, we see Lisa as the President of the United States, with older brother Bart as the lead of a Jimmy Buffett cover band; though they never actually directly covered Buffet to avoid paying the Margaritaville legend any royalties, so they played “Wastin’ Once More Again in Daiquiritaville”. They didn’t go far, which is surprising considering the immortal Ralph Wiggum was on tambourine.

Candy Slice and the Slicers

Candy Slice and the Slicers
Her inability to find the right movie role and her premature death rendered Gilda Radner one of the most underrated talents of her day. On Saturday Night Live, Radner gave us a Patti Smith parody, where she played Candy Slice. It was as brilliant as anything else she had ever done, and she took the character to her own live comedy album in 1979. Much like Smith herself, this is almost a cult character among early SNL fans.




The Bullet Points:
TV Show Appeared:
Saturday Night Live (1978-79)

Actor:
Gilda Radner

Songs you might remember:
If You Look Close
Gimme Mick

Why you should vote for her:
Gilda deserves a bit of love here; it was a great parody.

Why you should not vote for her:
So much of what Radner has done has been sadly forgotten; and this is probably not among her top five characters.

Cancer Boy

Cancer Boy
A controversial character from the Kids in the Hall film, Brain Candy, Cancer Boy was just what he sounded like: a young boy with Cancer. Played by Bruce McCullough, the character straddled the line between parody and poor taste and apparently caused Paramount (who was distributing the film) to not get behind the film. Cancer Boy may have been memorable, but was it for the right reason?




The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Brain Candy (1996)

Actor:
Bruce McCullough

Songs you might remember:
Whistle When You’re Low

Why you should vote for him:
Chances are you never forgot the character.

Why you should not vote for him:
It was not much of a Rock and Roll character, and again many found it in poor taste.

The California Raisins

California Raisins The
Sometimes, you never know what will become a hit. In the late 1980’s the California Raisin Advisory Board created a hit commercial of anthropomorphic raisins that sang old Rhythm & Blues. Actually, it was a phenomenon, which spawned a TV show, merchandise and even a video game. Who knew that a cover “Heard it Through the Grapevine” could do so well?




The Bullet Points:
TV Show Appeared:
Meet the Raisins! (1989)

Actors:
Singing Voice: Buddy Miles

Songs you might remember:
Heard it Through the Grapevine

Why you should vote for them:
This was a very successful advertising campaign

Why you should not vote for them:
How about because they are raisins!
