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.

Michigan J. Frog

For appearing in only one Looney Tunes sketch, Michigan J. Frog was sure remembered. He was in a box and unearthed by a construction worker who found that he could sing 1920’s songs with a booming voice; that is only when he was alone with the worker. When he tries to cash in, the frog just croaked and he was buried again only to be uncovered by another construction worker in the future. When the WB (Warner Brothers) formed a network, it was the Michigan J. Frog (we aren’t sure if that is when he got his name) who was used as the mascot. Still, what does a 1920’s singing frog have to do with a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, even if it is fictitious?
The Bullet Points:
TV Show Appeared:
The Looney Tunes (1955)
Actor:
Bill Roberts
Songs you might remember:
Ragtime Gal
Why you should vote for him:
The Frog had a great singing voice and became the face of a network.
Why you should not vote for him:
Does covering 1920’s songs really matter here?

Another entry from Mad TV, Michael McCloud (Will Sasso) and Jasmine Wayne Wayne were an Adult Contemporary singing duo whose songs all sounded exactly the same. They appeared on a few sketches culminating in a hilarious “Behind the Music” spoof and actually performed with real life rappers Master P and the Insane Clown Posse.
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.
