Another entry from Mad TV, Michael McCloud (Will Sasso) and Jasmine Wayne Wayne were an Adult Contemporary singing duo whose songs all sounded exactly the same. They appeared on a few sketches culminating in a hilarious “Behind the Music” spoof and actually performed with real life rappers Master P and the Insane Clown Posse.
In one of the few “Megcentric” episodes of Family Guy, Meg receives a makeover where her new found hotness takes her to the lead of her family’s singing group (a la Partridge Family) which resulted in a hit (Gonna Buy Me A Rainbow) and a musical performance on Saturday Night Live. For us, the most memorable part was when Peter Griffin beat the snot out of Jimmy Fallon for mugging for the camera (we were glad someone finally did), as opposed to the success of the band. The Bullet Points: TV Show Appeared: Family Guy (2005) Actors: Mila Kunis (Meg Griffin) Seth McFarlane (Peter and Stewie Griffin) Alex Borstein (Lois Griffin) Seth Green (Chris Griffin) Songs you might remember: Gonna Buy Me A Rainbow Why you should vote for them: In the world of Quahog this was a hit. Why you should not vote for them: Their hit was not very good. {youtube}

The only way to make Paula Abdul worse was to pair up with a rapping cartoon cat. In the video of her number one hit (How the hell did happen?) “Opposites Attract” she performed with MC Skat Kat, which is viewed today as the “Poochie” of the music video world. How this annoying cartoon made anybody buy this album is beyond us, but at the very least Paula Abdul was not the least watchable thing in her videos. Amazingly, this crappy cat got its own album, which as best as we can tell, nobody bought. Thank God for that, or we might have had a sequel! The Bullet Points: Album Appeared: Forever Your Girl (1989) Performer: Derrick “Delight” Stevens Songs you might remember: Opposites Attract Why you should vote for him: We grant this is a number one hit; that should mean something. Why you should not vote for him: This sucked. {youtube}

The house band at Jabba the Hut’s palace, the Max Rebo Band originally started as a trio. We aren’t speaking of the Star Wars expanded universe; rather the fact that the original film the band had three members and one song, and in George Lucas’ remastered edition, the band expanded in digital numbers and had a second song created. Can you think of any other fictional band that got an enhanced run? The Bullet Points: Movies Appeared: Return of the Jedi (1983) Actors: Some guys in body suits and digital enhancements Fictional Band Members: Max Rebo Sy Snootles Droopy McCool Remastered Additions: Ak-Rev Doda Bodonawieedo Barquin D’an Greeata Lyn Me Rappertunie Rystall Sant Umpass-stay Joh Yowza Songs you might remember: We aren’t sure. For a catchy number, we didn’t understand it. Why you should vote for them: They were popular enough to generate a second song in the “enhanced” version. Why you should not vote for them: How good they could be if the best gig they could get was Jabba’s lair? {youtube}
