Whenever I go to a concert there is always more music than I planned to see.  Mostly its “eh,” but these are the people/bands that were great surprises and a lot of fun.  I’ve tried to continue following them afterwards.

  1. The Mirror Gag (by the Marx Bros, redone in I Love Lucy & Johnny Stecchino)
  2. Who’s On First (Abbot & Costello, redone in Animaniacs)
  3. Exploding Xylophone bit (tons of Looney Tunes… and recently a South Park)
  4. The Aristocrats!
  5. A chase scene through multiple doors (again Looney Tunes, Scooby Doo, What’s Up Doc, and more)
  1. “Long Cool Woman in A Black Dress” by The Hollies
  2. “Girls” by The Beastie Boys
  3. “Brown Eyed Girl” by Van Morrison
  4. “My Summer Girl” by The Rentals
  5. “Little Old Lady From Pasadena” by Jan and Dean
  1. “Me & Mia” by Ted Leo & The Pharmacists (plus “Colleen”)
  2. “Allison” by Elvis Costello (plus “Veronica”)
  3. “Sweet Jane” by the Velvet Underground (plus “Candy Says,” “Lisa Says” and “Stephanie Says”)
  4. “Sheena Is a Punk Rocker” by The Ramones (plus “Suzy Is a Headbanger,” “Judy is a Punk” and ”Heidi Is a Headcase”)
  5. “Proud Mary” by Creedence Clearwater Revival (and wonderfully covered by Ike & Tina Turner)
  1. The Land Before Time
  2. Transformers (Dinobots count!)
  3. Dino-Riders
  4. Denver the Last dinosaur

  1. Al Bundy (from “Married….with Children”)

  3. Arlo Givens (from “Justified”)
  4. Frank Reynolds (from “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”)
  5. Ben Linus (from “LOST”)

I thought this was an appropriate list what with the holiday this weekend and the fact that I just saw the finale of “Justified” as I’m catching up on the shows I missed while in Canada. Also while I went with Ben from LOST it’s worth noting that just about every male character on that show is a bad dad and while he’s not as awful as say Anthony Cooper, I enjoy him much more.
