New Draft Idea: Fake Bands/Musicians From Movies/TV

Haven't had a good draft in awhile...so let's have one where we draft your favorite bands and/or musicians from the world of TV and film! The only rule is that the band/musician cannot exist in the real world. They must be made up for the purpose of a TV show or movie. So The Beatles in Help! or The Monkees do not count, because they are real bands (even tho The Monkees began as a fake band). So if a REAL band or musician plays a fictional band in a movie, that's fair game. But you can't have like Reese Witherspoon playing June Carter Cash, as that's a real person. The band or musician must only exist within the world of said movie or TV show. One other stipulation is that said fake band must play at least a little bit of a song in the movie or TV show. So who's in?

Are there that many? Sent from my Pixel 7a using Tapatalk

I can't think of many... does Kwai Chang Caine rom Kung Fu count?

Hey, no spoilers! John, there are hundreds. Probably more

Thanks for the spoilers idiot! Anyway I am always in for a draft.

I guess I am out... I cant compete with that

Hey *******, what do you think you're doing?? What a jerk.

Okay, I have a few ideas... I am back in :p

Hey *******, what do you think you're doing?? What a jerk.

Sorry I think I misunderstood, I'll delete the post. I thought you just meant link bands from films, my bad.

I've self reported the post so it can be deleted, my bad again and apologies.

I already have my first pick.

no worries, Corpus, misunderstandings happen

so: Dominic Mschu18 mrbaseball Phat Mack Who else?

We need a few more to make interesting

yep, we'll let this go for the weekend and see if anyone wants to join in

As I think about this there is a grey area "The Monkees rule" where bands started out fake and became real. There are more than a few of these.

I will rule on those fairly but sternly

I'll be in. Sent from my Pixel 7a using Tapatalk

Ok, i’m in

It seems we’re at six now. Unless there’s a huge flood, why not cap it at ten six artist slates, as that was the usual number at most of the old bygone one day festivals?

patience is a learned behavior that usually accompanies age and wiseness...

Okay, we will start this today...no rush, tho lol. I'll set it up soon.

So far I can only think of two. I may be lost with this one. And I'm not sure these will count. Sent from my Pixel 7a using Tapatalk

I’m ready to go, even thought of a good theme. I only suggested ten teams to try this draft system, which does work fairly well for NFL season wins. Hey, it was late. Probably not necessary in this draft, though LOL is going to go far too high.

Think outside the box, also remember TV too.

Okay, we are doing this! Reverse snake draft, as always. I did a random draw and this is the order: JohnCole BullyEyelash mrbaseball Mschu18 Dominic PhatMac Corpus, if you want in, you are welcome, of course...just let us know. The rules: The band or musician must be a FAKE band - meaning, it's a made up band for the movie or TV show. However, the fake band/musician can be played by a real musician, of course...they just can't be playing themselves. Somewhere in the movie or show, this band/musician must play/sing/perform in some way - or we need to at least hear them on the radio or a record or something. Even just a snippet counts. Actors playing REAL musicians in movies - like Austin Butler playing Elvis - DOE NOT COUNT. The act in the movie must be fake - only a real band in the world of the movie. As always, a decent write-up is necessary. Tell us WHY you're picking this act. A link to a Youtube clip is always good, too. And please PM the next person in order after you make your pick to let him know he is up. I'll create a spreadsheet and link it in the thread soon. John Cole is on the clock!

this is going to be embarrassing... please, no one pick my first choice.

Make sure you list your choice in the spreadsheet after you have made your pick. We'll do 5 rounds and if people want to continue after that, we will maybe do 10 rounds.

I predict that all of the first 5 picks will snipe me. Unless I revert to my usual strategy of picking the weirdest stuff I can think of.

I’ve never used Google Docs lol. Imo we should do six rounds for three full rotations

Ok JC is skipped. BullyEyelash is up! And yes, we can do 6 rounds.

I pick The Irish Vampire Band from Sinners. Incredible harmonies & musical versatility; pretty much cover any kind of Irish/British/American roots-bluegrass-folk-country. Brag: The best at leading audience singalongs. Beat: Their insistence on always going on last usually ruffles some feathers.

One rules clarification question please... does this need to be a live action human being or can it be an inanimate object or cartoon? You only have 5 rounds on the spread sheet... and B'eye, you have to update the spread sheet yourself.

In the app. Where’s the keyboard?

Dom, I dont think there is edit authorization enabled...

Nice pick! I'll fix the sheet

Mrbaseball on the clock!

Not home and can't fix it yet lol

Don't worry about it yet

Round One Otis Day and the Knights - Animal House

Gotta go with my all-time favorite comedy movie and this fictional band was a big part of it. They do fall into "the grey zone" though. While a fictional creation soley for the purposes of this movie they did go on to have a brief "real" career. However I would argue unlike more famous fake bands (like the Monkees) nobody really knows them outside of this movie. so far: Otis Day and the Knights - Animal House

Not as grey as I thought, nice job.

for my pick... I am going with an all time classic!

The Rubber Band -Mel Blanc/Warner Bros

used several times over the years, this is an icon of musical comedy from an era where comedy knew little boundaries... and rightfully so.

R1- The Rubber Band

A little late, but here's my first pick.

Maybe none of them will.

If it has boundaries, it will never be great.

It's starting to look that way.

I usually do long write ups, but I didn't think this one needed it. Besides, I probably am going to be stuck after round two. Sent from my Pixel 7a using Tapatalk

I have thought about this... I dont think it counts because the band was didn't start out as fake... the band was 'assembled'. plenty of legitimate 'bands' have, or have had, little to no musical experience.

My first pick: The Wonders from That Thing You Do Tom Hanks' ode to 60s pop songs and one hit wonders. We hear hear the song multiple times and see this chirpy, cute boy band perform it over and over. It's a catchy ear worm that doesn't let up. Fun movie, band, and song. Broken YouTube Link
