Why do the Misfits really care so much Jem and the Holograms? They seemed to be getting gigs and doing well. Whatever the reason, you can’t have a Hasbro cartoon with someone representing the “evil” side, so here we are with the Misfits, who had a slew of songs on the show that nobody remembers.
The Bullet Points:

Jem (1985-88)
Actors:
Patrice Alice Albrecht (voice) Ellen Bernfield (singing) (Phyllis “Pizzazz” Gabor)

Louise Dorsey (voice) (Sheila “Jetta” Burns)
Songs you might remember:
None
Why you should vote for them:
Because you like animated women?

For mean girls, they were kind of dull.

Ming Tea

From the first Austin Powers movie, Austin (Mike Myers) fronted Ming Tea, the 60’s Psychedelic band that closed the film with their rendition of “BBC”. This was consider by many (and us included) to be Myers’ best role, and we love anything involving our favorite Bangle, Susanna Hoffs, who was the lead guitarist. Austin Powers was one of the most quoted characters in film history, so do we have a dark horse candidate here?
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997)
Actors:
Mike Myers (Austin Powers, Lead Singer)
Matthew Sweet (Sid Belvedere, Bass & Backup Singer)
Suzanna Hoffs (Gillian Shagwell, Lead Guitar & Backup Singer)
Stuart Johnson (Manny Stixman, Drums & Backup Singer)
Christopher Ward (Trevor Aigburth, Guitar & Backup Singer)
Songs you might remember:
BBC
Why you should vote for them:
The song was actually good.
Why you should not vote for them:
They only had the one tune, and it was not a hit; just a nice add-on at the end of a film.

Elvis Presley movies don’t exactly have a lot of legacy and “Fun in Acapulco” is a perfect example of one that is forgotten. Rather than go into detail about the plot, let’s just say that this was not one of the better films and that there were no signature songs from it. It does not help that this was released right at the time of the British Invasion, and this became irrelevant very quickly.
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Fun in Acapulco (1963)
Actor:
Elvis Presley
Songs you might remember:
Bossa Nova Baby
Why you should vote for him:
Only for the Elvis factor.
Why you should not vote for him:
This was a weak effort.

Mick Jagged and the Stones

A very lame parody from a very lame prequel to the Flintstones, “Mick Jagged and the Stones” was a band that played at the Tardust Casino. Dear God, was this the best that they could do? Based on the Flintstones cartoon, yes it was! Still, we have a Duran Duran member in the band, which is all we needed to put this on the ballot.
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas (2000)
Actors:
Alan Cumming (Mick Jagged)
John Taylor (Keith Rockhard)
Songs you might remember:
None
Why you should vote for them:
John Taylor was in it. This is for fans of Duran Duran.
Why you should not vote for them:
This is from a movie that probably shouldn’t have been made.
