American Dreamz tried to be a decent parody of reality television, and specifically American Idol, but it did not exactly hit the mark. That was not the fault of Mandy Moore who did an admirable job as the fame hungry, Sally Kendoo who enters the competition for shallow reasons. Moore can at least sing the part, which gives her a pass somewhat; and as she didn’t write the part, she gets a pass the rest of the way. Now, was she cute enough to get into this Hall despite the bad material? Probably not.
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
American Dreamz (2006)
Actor:
Mandy Moore
Songs you might remember:
Mommy, Don’t Drink Me to Bed Tonight
Why you should vote for her:
Moore can sing at least.
Why you should not vote for her:
This was a poor movie at best.

In the very good (though rarely seen) independent film, Georgia, Jennifer Jason Leigh delivers as always as the younger sister of a successful folk singer. Leigh’s character is a gritty bar singer with a bit of a Punk Rock look, and definitely with the attitude to match. The acting here is solid, and the music decent. Had this achieved a larger audience, this could have been a decent contender for our Hall of Fame.
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Georgia (1995)
Actor:
Jennifer Jason Leigh
Songs you might remember:
Take Me Back
Why you should vote for her:
The acting is really strong here.
Why you should not vote for her:
The audience just isn’t that big to make this a strong contender.

In the revoling timeline of the Simpsons, we learn that Homer was the front man for a Grunge band named Sadgasm that was for all intents and purposes a Nirvana knock off which was evident by the songs they had. Homer’s sadness was inspired by watching his beloved Marge fall for a College Professor and he transformed his former New Jack Swing band into a mopey, flannel hand, floppy haired group. Only in Springfield do the laws of time not work, and only there would we not care.
The Bullet Points:
TV Show Appeared:
The Simpsons (2008)
Actors:
Dan Castanaletta (Homer Simpson)
The Fictitious Band
Homer Simpson
Lenny Leonard
Carl Carlson
Lou the Cop

Why you should vote for them:
We don’t have enough Nirvana parodies here.
Why you should not vote for them:
We think (and you might too) that there are better Springfield acts to choose from.

The Sacred Cows appeared in Get Smart where they were a part of the “Groovy Guru’s” plot to cause the youth of America to run wild. They were not exactly deep with their lyrics “kill kill kill” but they were actually written and performed by three session musicians. It was campy, but so are so many on this ballot.
The Bullet Points:
TV Show Appeared:
Get Smart (1968)
Actors:
Jerry Scheff
John Greek
Ben Benay
Songs you might remember:
None
Why you should vote for them:
They were not that bad.
Why you should not vote for them:
It was only on one episode, and is far from the most remembered think from the show.
