Meg and the Griffins

In one of the few “Megcentric” episodes of Family Guy, Meg receives a makeover where her new found hotness takes her to the lead of her family’s singing group (a la Partridge Family) which resulted in a hit (Gonna Buy Me A Rainbow) and a musical performance on Saturday Night Live. For us, the most memorable part was when Peter Griffin beat the snot out of Jimmy Fallon for mugging for the camera (we were glad someone finally did), as opposed to the success of the band.
The Bullet Points:
TV Show Appeared:
Family Guy (2005)
Actors:
Mila Kunis (Meg Griffin)
Seth McFarlane (Peter and Stewie Griffin)
Alex Borstein (Lois Griffin)
Seth Green (Chris Griffin)
Songs you might remember:
Gonna Buy Me A Rainbow
Why you should vote for them:
In the world of Quahog this was a hit.
Why you should not vote for them:
Their hit was not very good.

MC Skat Kat

The only way to make Paula Abdul worse was to pair up with a rapping cartoon cat. In the video of her number one hit (How the hell did happen?) “Opposites Attract” she performed with MC Skat Kat, which is viewed today as the “Poochie” of the music video world. How this annoying cartoon made anybody buy this album is beyond us, but at the very least Paula Abdul was not the least watchable thing in her videos. Amazingly, this crappy cat got its own album, which as best as we can tell, nobody bought. Thank God for that, or we might have had a sequel!
The Bullet Points:
Album Appeared:
Forever Your Girl (1989)
Performer:
Derrick “Delight” Stevens
Songs you might remember:
Opposites Attract
Why you should vote for him:
We grant this is a number one hit; that should mean something.
Why you should not vote for him:
This sucked.

The Max Rebo Band

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.
