Best song by a fictional band?

[noblegiraffe]

I nominate "Backdoor Lover" by DuJour from Josie and the Pussycats.

Very funny, totally inappropriate, and yet insanely catchy.

Are the Monkees a fictional band?

Last Train to Clarksville still sounds good to me.

I vote for

I'd say The Monkees count as a fictional band who transcended the medium.

Scotty Doesn’t Know.

Also, 'Actually' by the Horrible Vikings. I still sing that to myself when no one's listening.

Most songs by Flight of the Conchords

My lovely lovely horse

Father Ted 🤣

Or anything from Spinal Tap

Oh this is great! We were singing it on a long car journey the other day!

That thing you do - The Wonders

Not sure whether the Aquabats are totally fictional as I think they tour, but this is a classic...

The Weird Sisters "Can You Dance Like a Hippogriff" from Harry Potter, fronted by Jarvis Cocker.

Everything by Gus's "band" in Love.

Dingoes Ate My Baby from Buffy the Vampire slayer had a song on ‘Inca Mummy Girl’ that I love, but annoyingly can’t think of the name for.

Oh and free love on the free love freeway by david brent great song

The great Edith Whiskers ⬇️

DuJour means seatbelts!
The Rutles were brilliant.

Black Sheep by The Clash at Demonhead, in Scott Pilgrim. Really it's by Metric, and sounds like it, hence why it's so good 😊

I also love the fake Goldfinger by Peter Serafinowicz as Ringo.

Yesssss, it's a work of art!

Take Me Away - the song by Lindsay Lohan’s band at the end of the Freaky Friday remake - is insanely catchy 😆

You’re 5000 candles in the wind (bye bye Lil’ Sebastian) - Mouserat (parks and rec)
the album is great

Any of the weird songs in Pugwall! Also all the songs in the fake Eurovision Father Ted episode.

Heal me, I'm Heartsick by fictional band No Vacancy from the School of Rock movie.

OH MY GOD, I mean Literally, not Actually...

The shame.

Horrible Histories’ songs are great.

I also find “I gave you a UTI” from My Crazy Ex Girlfriend a lot funnier than I should:

Wow, that is a good look for Jarvis.
