The Bugaloos

A somewhat bizarre creation from the Sid and Marty Kroft (though weren’t they all?), the Bugaloos were a seventeen episode series that featured a musical group who lived in “Tranquility Forest”. They wore insect themed outfits and had the ability to fly, which means….well, we have no idea. Either way, this was hot for a brief moment, which is enough to get them on our ballot.
The Bullet Points:
TV Show Appeared:
The Bugaloos (1970-72)
Actors:
Wayne Laryea (Harmony, a Bumblebee)
John Philpott (Courage, a Ladybug)
Caroline Ellis (Joy, a Butterfly)
John McIndoe (I.Q., a Grasshopper)
Songs you might remember:
If you become a Bugaloo
Why you should vote for them:
Only, if you were a devotee of the show.
Why you should not vote for them:
This was a very strange show.

Bud Eagle

Seriously, this was drive in camp at its best. In “Wild Guitar” we had Bud Eagle who arrived in Hollywood with his pompadour, a guitar and attitude, looking for a break in the music industry. With illogical plots and cheesy dialogue, that is what happens, but sometimes a film is so corny you can’t help but watch, and that is what we have here.
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Wild Guitar (1962)
Actor:
Arch Hall Jr.
Songs you might remember:
Vickie
Why you should vote for him:
This is B-Movie best.
Why you should not vote for him:
B-Movie best may not be what is worth looking for here.

Buckaroo Banzai and the Hong Kong Cavaliers

The Artists
A film that crossed multiple genres, Buckaroo Banzai (as it is commonly known) featured a hero who was the ultimate Renaissance man. Of his many skills, “Rock Star” was one, and his multi-talented associates were his backup band. Music was part of the film, but that was not necessarily what was remembered the most in this quirky cult film.
The Bullet Points:
Movies Appeared:
The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension (1984)
Actors:
Peter Weller (Buckaroo Banzai)
Clancy Brown (Rawhide)
Pepe Serna (Reno Nevada)
Lewis Smith (Perfect Tommy)
Jeff Goldblum (Dr. Sidney Zweibel)
Billy Vera (Pinky Carruthers)
Songs you might remember:
Since I Don’t Have You
Why you should vote for them:
This cult film does have its share of fans.
Why you should not vote for them:
The film was memorable, but is the music amongst the first things you think about?

Brutha Fez

Published in
The Artists
From the strange yet effective David Cronenberg film, Cosmopolis, the funeral of the lead character’s favorite rapper, Brutha Fez set everything in motion. Played by the innovative Somalian-Canadian Rap Star, K’Naan, we did not hear as much of him as we would have liked, but the way this film was constructed, we do understand why; though there far more other things in this film we didn’t understand.
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Cosmopolis (2012)
Actor:
K’Naan
Songs you might remember:
Mecca
Why you should vote for him:
Musically, what was seen was decent.
Why you should not vote for him:
Many of the people who watched this film, could not have cared less about the rapper.
