Before Demi Moore’s career explodes, she was the female lead in the John Cusack vehicle where she was granted a couple of songs in the flick. Although Moore’s character is a Rock singer here, this was only a secondary part of the film and not exactly relevant to the plot line. Still, with her speaking voice (which we know, wasn’t her singing voice), how can we not include her? Damn, she has one sexy voice!

Movie Appeared:
One Crazy Summer (1986)

Actor:
Demi Moore

Songs you might remember:
Don’t Look Back

Why you should vote for her:
How about because Demi Moore was super hot for a near twenty-year period?

Why you should not vote for her:
This was a John Cusack vehicle…not Demi Moore.

Beyond the Valley of the Dolls may be the ultimate early 70’s guilty pleasure film because as much as it was god awful, you couldn’t turn away. The focal point of the film was the band, “The Carrie Nations”, whose music was as bleak as it was bad, but again, you couldn’t help but watch. Whether or not this makes them a serious contender is in doubt, but nostalgia is on their side.

From the early 80’s cult film, “Get Crazy” we have a series of bands who played at the fictitious Saturn Theatre (modeled after the famous Filmore East) for their 15^th New Year’s Eve Show. The first act to appear in the movie was Captain Cloud, played by Howard Kaylan of the Turtles. As you might have guessed from his name, the good Captain was still immersed in the late 60’s hippie culture, but as he was a personal favorite of the Saturn’s promoter, Max Wolfe, he was a part of the show and was allowed to ring in the New Year with Auld Lang Syne.

Why you should vote for them:
It was one of those so cheesy it was good moments.

Why you should not vote for them:
Musically, he was stuck in a time warp.

In a fun look at a possible future for the Simpsons children, we see Lisa as the President of the United States, with older brother Bart as the lead of a Jimmy Buffett cover band; though they never actually directly covered Buffet to avoid paying the Margaritaville legend any royalties, so they played “Wastin’ Once More Again in Daiquiritaville”. They didn’t go far, which is surprising considering the immortal Ralph Wiggum was on tambourine.
