this weekend "wait wait" based the "not your job" questions on this site. it's a disturbingly comprehensive list of every fake band or pop star that has ever been created for a movie, series, skit, etc. no matter how obscure or fleeting. complete and utter timekill but mildly addictive. |
hey! just like "wait wait"! |
Pee-Wee Runt and his All-Flea Dixieland Band - Cartoon flea band in the 1954 Tex Avery cartoon Dixieland Droopy. Formerly a circus sideshow attraction, John Irving Pettybone (Droopy) lures them into his fur, where, completely hidden, they play hot dixieland jazz, to the bafflement of onlookers. The "Dog of Mystery" as he becomes known, eventually performs at the Hollywood Bowl. The fleas (rather generously, I think) let Pettybone take all the credit. Pee-Wee, the band's leader, plays trumpet. The other four members play piano, stand-up bass, drums and trombone, albeit very tiny ones.(see also John Irving Pettybone) |
