Yeah we know. The name “Joanie and Chachi’s band” is asinine but we have no idea what they were called. Here is what we do know:
Happy Days was one of the most successful sitcoms of all-time and as such spinoffs were expected. The problem was that nobody wanted to see Joanie and Chachi pursue Rock and Roll dreams, especially when they had no musical ability.
We were treated to a season of a half of bad acting, bad plots and horrific music. At the very least, the fictitious band never made it, which may have been the most realistic part of the group.
The Bullet Points:
TV Show Appeared:
Joanie Loves Chachi (1982-83)
Actor:
Scott Baio
Erin Moran
Songs you might remember:
Nothing. Everything they did was terrible.
Why you should vote for them:
They may have sucked, but they are remembered.
Why you should not vote for them:
Neither Joanie nor Chachi could sing worth shit.

Dear God! Every Christmas we are subjected to this dreck, where we are forced to watch a video (usually because there is one member of the family that finds this cute); where we have cats meowing and playing to Christmas Songs. This was the brainchild of Mike Spalla, a sound engineer who we assume made some serious coin with this idea. The albums actually sold, and resulted into Jingle Dogs and Jingle Babies, both of which stink up our Christmas song rotation.
The Bullet Points:
Albums Appeared:
Meowy Christmas (1993)
Here Comes Santa Claws (1994)
Actors:
None
Songs you might remember:
Jingle Bells and other Christmas Songs.
Why you should vote for them:
The odds are you know who they are. We bet half of the acts on this ballot you are learning for the first time.
Why you should not vote for them:
They are cats…and this sucks!

With a nice cameo in the “Wedding Singer”, we were treated to Jon Lovitz as a rival wedding singer who sang in his sleaziest best, Ladies’ Night. It was terrible, but it was comedic gold as Lovitz was as arrogant as he was untalented. It may have been brief, but we did love it!
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
The Wedding Singer (1998)
Actor:
Jon Lovitz
Songs you might remember:
Ladies’ Night
Why you should vote for him:
We did think this one of the better cameos in a movie that we have seen in a while.
Why you should not vote for him:
His band was horrible.

Hmmmm, we are a little torn on this one. First off, Eminem was brilliant as B-Rabbit, a gifted white rapper from the inner city of Detroit. Despite his talent, a white boy in 2002 trying to make it in the rap world is an uphill battle, but we presume he made it by his powerful victory in the film’s end rap battle.
The movie performed well, was praised by the critics and generated an Oscar for Best Song (Lose Yourself), and again Eminem was brilliant; but how could he not be? Basically, he played himself as the plot was basically his life. How fictitious is B-Rabbit anyway? That question could keep this one out.
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
8 Mile (2002)
Actor:
Eminem
Songs you might remember:
Lose Yourself
Why you should vote for him:
The movie was great, Eminem was great, and there is more than enough music by this character.
Why you should not vote for him:
Realistically, we watched Eminem’s life story here.
