You will have to forgive us, as we have never really seen this show as nobody amongst us has small kids. Still, here is what we have learned: The Doodlebops had a decent run on Canadian Television, got picked up by Disney and are successful enough to do a tour of their music. That makes them a viable in our eyes regardless of whether we know them or not.
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
The Doodlebops (2004-)
Actor:
Lisa Lennox (Deedele Doodle)
Chad McNamara (Rooney Doodle)
Jonathan Wexler (Moe Doodle)
Songs you might remember:
Get on the Bus
Why you should vote for them:
Any fictitious group that can have a successful tour is worth a look.
Why you should not vote for them:
Children’s music seems inappropriate for the Hall.

Don "No Soul" Simmons

In one of the more memorable sketches from the 1987 film, “Amazon Women on the Moon” David Alan Grier was Don “No Soul” Simmons who turned his disability of being a Black without Soul into a successful white bread recording career. Simmons would take “white” songs and well…make them even whiter as he took tunes like “Tie a Yellow Ribbon” to even new lows.
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Amazon Women on the Moon (1987)
Actor:
David Alan Grier
Songs you might remember:
Tie a Yellow Ribbon
Blame it on the Bossanova
Why you should vote for him:
We don’t have very many people with “disabilities” on this list.
Why you should not vote for him:
This wasn’t seen very much, and Grier seemed to play a lot of this type of character.

Dogs in Space

We will admit that we have little reason to think that Dogs in Space will enter the Fictitious Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. We also will admit that they are only here because INXS front man, Michael Hutchence was in it. The skinny is that this is a 1987 Australian film set in the 1978 Melbourne “Little Band Scene” and Hutchence plays the lead singer of the band, although the fans of the music receive equal time in this flick.
The Bullet Points:
Movies Appeared:
Dogs in Space (1987)
Actors:
Michael Hutchence (Sam)
Nique Needles (Tim)
Songs you might remember:
Unless you are Australian, there are not any.
Why you should vote for them:
The music was decent, though again regional relatively speaking.
Why you should not vote for them:
Does a movie that had zero traction in North America deserve a place here?

We only saw this once, and in our eyes this is one of the great “what ifs” of Saturday Night Live. We have always wondered if the Adam Sandler led “Dogs” which appeared in the final sketch in the Tom Arnold hosted show of the eighteenth season, could have been like a Blues Brothers and have a much greater life, or was it only meant to be a one note joke? Perhaps there was something about a Grunge band with a Dog motif that appealed to us, or maybe it was the potential of this great group of comedians that made us think it. Who knows, but as we did our research we learned two things…that not many remember them, and those who did wanted more.
The Bullet Points:
TV Show Appeared:
Saturday Night Live (1993)
Actors:
Adam Sandler (Lead Singer)
Dana Carvey (Drums)
Mike Myers (Guitar)
Rob Schneider (Guitar)
Robert Smigel (Guitar)
Songs you might remember:
Bad
Why you should vote for him them:
This is one hell of a lineup of comedians…and they could play.
Why you should not vote for them:
Based on our research, this sketch does not even come close to the top 200 most memorable bits on SNL.
