The Max Rebo Band
Jun 28, 2014
Published in
The Artists
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?

“Wild in the Streets” is one of the ultimate cult films whereby Max Frost; a millionaire by 19 and a politician by 24 looks to take over the American Political landscape which is what he did by lobbying to lower the voting age to 14. After he does so, with the youth vote he becomes the President and puts everyone over the age of 35 in concentration camps. Damn, we love these cheesy films!
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Wild in the Streets (1968)
Actors:
Christopher Jones (Max Frost, Lead Singer)
Kevin Coughlin (Billy Cage, Lead Guitar)
Diane Varisi (Sally LeRoy, Keyboards)
Larry Bishop (Abraham Salteen, Bass)
Richard Pryor (Stanley X, Drums)
Songs you might remember:
Fourteen or Fight
Why you should vote for him:
We can argue that the music took Max Power to the Presidency.
Why you should not vote for them:
This was not widely viewed, and the music was lame at best.

The Mau Maus

A stereotype themselves, The Mau Maus were a rap group that objected to the VERY offensive stereotype of the New Millennium Minstrel Show which had the talent appear in blackface. We can’t say that we thought this was Director Spike Lee’s best work, and we doubt that this has a serious shot; though we had to put this fictitious group on the ballot, just for shutting down that horrible fictitious show. Spoiler alert, the police in the end with the exception of the lone white member, who was 1/16th black, shot them all.
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Bamboozled (2000)
Actors:
Mos Def (Julius “Big Black Afrika” Hopkins)
M.C. Serch (1/16th Black)
Gano Grills (Double Blak)
Canibus (Mo Blak)
DJ Scratch (Jo Blak)
Charli Baltimore (Smooth Blak)
muMs (Hard Blak)
Songs you might remember:
None
Why you should vote for him them:
There shut down the most offensive show ever.
Why you should not vote for them:
That were offensive themselves.

Master Genius

The Artists
From the Sopranos, we had a brief glimpse at a Hip Hop mogul named Master Genius who ogled Adriana La Cerva and failed to extort money from Hesh. We also never really learned about any of his raps. Wait, why he is on the ballot again?
The Bullet Points:
TV Show Appeared:
The Sopranos (1999)
Actor:
Bokeem Woodbine
Songs you might remember:
None
Why you should vote for him:
We are assuming that he is the Jay Z of the Sopranos Universe.
Why you should not vote for him:
He may have been a Hip Hop success, but we only ever saw him fail. Some genius!
