Another that we almost forgot about, The Fabulous Baker Boys was a lounge Jazz act, whose lives changes when they added a female to their act. The film had decent music, superb acting, but is this a musical genre that may not be appropriate for the Hall of Fame that we are creating here. We are very curious to see how many votes are accrued here.
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
The Fabulous Baker Boys (1989)
Actors:
Jeff Bridges (Jack Baker)
Michelle Pfeiffer (Susie Diamond)
Beau Bridges (Frank Baker)
Songs you might remember:
My Funny Valentine
Why you should vote for them:
Acting wise, this had few equals.
Why you should not vote for them:
Does a lounge act belong here?

Played by real Punk Band, The Eight Bucks Experiment, “Extreme Corporal Punishment” served as a big part of the backdrop of SLC Punk, which looked at the 1985 Punk scene in Salt Lake City. It was well received, though not seen by a mass audience, though we question how strong the chances are for ECP when they did not even have a song on the Soundtrack.
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
SLC Punk (1998)
Actors:
The Eight Bucks Experiment
Songs you might remember:
One of These Days
Why you should vote for them:
This was a good film…check it out!
Why you should not vote for them:
Like we said, if they did not even make the soundtrack, why should they get your vote?

We all know that if you are a musician, you get girls. The great thing about that formula is that you can be ugly as sin and it still works; just ask Ric Ocasek. The young stars of Boy Meets World, created a band called the Exits to impress girls (naturally), which works…until they are asked to actually perform.
The Bullet Points:
TV Show Appeared:
Boy Meets World (1994)
Actors:
Ben Savage (Cory Matthews)
Rider Strong (Shawn Patrick Hunter)
Songs you might remember:
None
Why you should vote for them:
Isn’t it funny how a show that wasn’t deep at all, actually had a sizable following, and is thought about in high regard?
Why you should not vote for them:
They couldn’t play.

From the strange live action chimpanzee (yes, you read that right) you have a show that seems to only be possible to have occurred the year after Woodstock. Lancelot Link, Secret Chimp was about a chimpanzee that was also a spy who also was part of a band. Basically, the producers had the chimps dress up and made dialogue from the actions.
The Bullet Points:
TV Show Appeared:
Lancelot Link, Secret Chimp (1970-71)
Actors:
A bunch of chimpanzees. Actual singing voice was Steve Hoffman.
Fictitious Band:
Lancelot Link (Guitar)
Mata Hairi (Tambourine)
Bananas Marmoset (Drums)
Sweetwater Gibbons (Organ)
Songs you might remember:
Wild Dreams, Jelly Beans
Why you should vote for them:
Musically, they sound better than half of the acts on this ballot.
Why you should not vote for them:
How about because these are Chimpanzees?
