Lola Heatherton

A diva on the downswing of her career, Lola Heatherton reminisces about her past, while still thinking she is still a huge star. Of course, the fact she is in Melonville should have tipped her off that she isn’t a big deal, but on the SCTV network she is! This has always been our favorite character from Catherine O’Hara, and way better than being Macaulay Culkin’s mom.
The Bullet Points:
TV Show Appeared:
SCTV (1978-81)
Actor:
Catherine O’Hara
Songs you might remember:
None
Why you should vote for her:
We will maintain that this our favorite O’Hara role
Why you should not vote for her:
She was a terrible singer; although that was on purpose.

Do you remember when it looked like Ally Sheedy might have a successful movie career? After “Maid to Order”, neither did she. For our purposes, the only think worth remembering was Hair Metal band, Great White performing as “Loaded Blanks” for reasons we can’t remember.
Llewyn Davis

The Coen Brothers gave us a Cannes Award winning film in the form of “Inside Llewyn Davis” which takes a look at a week in the life of the Folk Singer in 1961. Those seven days rook place in Greenwich Village, and it captured the musical scene there almost perfectly. It was inspired by an icon of the scene, Dave Van Ronk who is probably one of the most influential musicians you never heard of. This influence certainly makes the music of the film sound genuine, which is critical for a film of this type. If this gains a cult audience, we think this could be a potential contender.
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Inside Llewyn Davis (2013)
Actor:
Oscar Issac
Songs you might remember:
Hang Me, Oh Hang Me
Why you should vote for him:
Musically, this is what you want from an inductee.
Why you should not vote for him:
This only had a small audience. Somehow, a larger fan base seems to be what this Hall of Fame should require.
Lisa Simpson

For years, all we knew about Lisa Simpson’s musical ability was that she was an excellent saxophone player, but in a 2005 episode she enters the Krusty the Klown L’il Starmaker Competition and shows off moderate singing ability. We have to say moderate, because she won based on the genius (wait…we are saying genius about this man?) of Homer Simpson writing pro Springfield songs, and switching sides and penning horrible songs for her opponent. She still wasn’t a great singer, but she did win a competition.
The Bullet Points:
TV Show Appeared:
The Simpsons (1988-)
Actors:
Yeardley Smith
Songs you might remember:
Jazzman
Why you should vote for her:
My God, how long has this character been around?
Why you should not vote for her:
She was not a great singer, and though she can play the saxophone well, are there not more acts in Springfield you remember more?
