Favorite song by a make believe band that originated on tv or in a movie.

If the band went on to play actual shows, that's fine as long as they originated in the above media.

La Marseillaise by the house band at Rick's Café Americaine in Casablanca.

Though not quite a band, Men of Harlech by the chorus of B Company, 2nd Battalion, 24th Foot in Zulu comes close.

The band Danger Kitty, from a TV ad…

My two favourite bands created for film/tv are the Rutles and The Leningrad Cowboys. From the Rutles "Get Up And Go" YouTube link from the Leningrad Cowboys "Back in the U.S.S.R" YouTube link

A make believe band? Do Josie and the Pussy Cats or the Banana Splitz count?

Not really a band,
But the best song is of course Dayman!

And here is a 10-hour loop of it, you're all very welcome.

The Monkees are terribly underrated by today's "standards".

hell even the Partridge Family had some good tunes like
I woke up in love this morning


and This is Spinal Tap is in my top 10 movie list and I have worn out 2 copies of the soundtrack very funny and much better musicianship than I could ever achieve

Partridge Family (Come on Get Happy)

The Monkeys, Last Train to Clarkesville.

The H Man06 Aug 2019 5:32 p.m. PST

The Monkeys were a band first then they made a show? That would disqualify them, as much as I like them.

Flash Gordon 80s song was by Queen, not a fictitious band in the film.


Number 1
"Everyboy get ready…" For the Zit Remedy!

Number 2
I hate you, by edge of etiquette. (LLAP…I hate you!)

Gumby. Although I preferred the block heads.

The Monkees weren't a band before the TV show. They were actors, they auditioned, and were put together. They also only did limited musical work during the first season, but eventually ended up being a band.

Uesugi Kenshin Supporting Member of TMP07 Aug 2019 9:12 a.m. PST

Monkeys were definitely a fictional band that later became a real band.

The Monkees are back in the running. Also helps if you get the name right!

Personal logo etotheipi Sponsoring Member of TMP08 Aug 2019 2:02 p.m. PST

The Monkees are back in the running

I hope we're not going to run them too hard … I think two of them are dead.
