Your favorite tunes by hokey fake TV show bands.

I have two I can think of. "Last Train to
Clarksville" by the Monkees, and "I Think I Love
You" by the Partridge Family.

How about you?

That theme from "Friends" is alright. But, my all-
time fav is the "Bad Things" by Jace Everett (both
of my bands play the song). It is the theme to
"True Blood".

Thanks, Ivan, and good to talk with you again. :)

However, I didn't really mean show themes, I meant
tunes done on television shows ostensibly by the
fake bands those shows were about. A more modern
example to my first two might be something by
Dethklok. I think Brendon Small is pretty amazing.

Outside of the two you listed (I refuse to count
"Johnny Bravo" from the Brady Bunch), I can't think
of any other songs done on shows. Maybe "Smelly
Cat" from Friends?

Actually, I am surprised you remember any of that
Brady Bunch stuff. :) Was that when Greg wrapped a
tie or something around his head, wore a suede vest,
and called even his mom "man?" :)

Yep! That was it! He even had the brothers &
sisters doing background vocals on stage with him!
Oh yeah, I watch the show when i was a kid - but I

Yeah, I remember when the Brady Bunch tried to be a
musical family. I always liked the Partridge Family
for that better. I think just about every late
sixties/early seventies show with kids tried that at
least once, though. :P

Anything by Spinal Tap was brilliant!

Susan Dey was the only reason any red-blooded male teenagers watched the Partridge family......

Yeah, Spinal Tap was great. I remember years ago,
trying to explain to my then 12 year old step-son
that Spinal Tap was a spoof, and not a serious band.
They were touring at the time, and he wasn't buying
it. "How can they be playing concerts, then," he
asked.:)

Thanks Ivan - it only took 6 or 7 years to get to this point! Another bass sounds like a great idea, in fact Plod got me gassing for a hollowbody with a post he made on FB.

I just got a hollow-body Gretsch about two weeks
ago. It sounds so much richer than a solid body and
it has become my main bass. So now, I'm back to
playing 4 strings!!! I have a pic of it on my
homepage.

Thanks! It's a little different getting used to a

compensate, but I love the sound and it looks good
