The Junkyard Band

Junkyard Band The
There is something special about a band that made all of their instruments from discarded items at a junkyard and who sing moralistic tales isn’t there? Well, maybe there is not, but on the episodes of the animated series, Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids, that is what we got, and it is something that anyone who saw the show remembers vividly. That might translate into a few votes here.




The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids (1972-85)

Why you should vote for them:
This cartoon lasted more than 99 percent of all other Saturday Morning ones, and had quite the staying power. We wager that most people over the age of forty know that theme song.

Was this band even remotely good?
