If you are going to have a movie about music, you still need bad guys right? In Eminem’s quasi-autobiographical film, 8 Mile, the “bad guys” were the Battle Rap group, “Tha Free World”. This group not only beat B. Rabbit with their lyrics, but with their fists. To nobody’s surprise, they lose at the end, but performed their role well. If B. Rabbit gets in, could their “evil” opponent follow after?

One of the stars of the “Playtone” label was Freddy Fredrickson, whose signature hit “Mr. Downtown” was a catchy tune that was half charm and half swarm. Somehow, we think if we were alive in that time period and this was a real song; this would be a guilty pleasure; and perhaps one we would want to make a bad private eye show around.

Actor:

Mr. Downtown

We love Arrested Development, but we almost forgot about when George Bluth II (Will Arnett) showed us his ventriloquist act and attempted to record an album featuring the songs of Franklin; his African American puppet. In his lone episode we learn that $5,000 was spent to make “Franklin Comes Alive”, though his brand of racial harmony never saw the light of day.



The Bullet Points:
TV Show Appeared:
Arrested Development (2005)

Actor:
Will Arnett

Songs you might remember:
Everything I Do, I Do it For You

Why you should vote for them:
Will Arnett and a puppet? Sign us up!

Why you should not vote for them:
A racially insensitive album (that was never released) may not belong here.

Don’t you love a spoof within a spoof? From the animated Reality TV parody, Drawn Together, we have a parody of Valerie Brown from Josie and the Pussycats in the form of “Foxxy Love”. In our opinion, this was the best character from the show, but admittedly if we only had her hold her tambourine without actually playing any kind of song, do we really have a strong contender here?
