Totally Tunes: That Thing You Do!

Fictional movie bands! Yeah, I'm in a "quickly explain the topic in the first sentence" kinda mood here today. But, y'know, there's a whole lot of them in movies, whether they are played by actors who can play instruments, or played by actors who CAN'T play, or even by seasoned musicians who are totes cool with showing up on film doing their thing as a character.

So, as you can imagine, I'll drop some examples here, but obviously not all the examples, and the question below will give you the chance to post your favorite fictional band songs in the comments, even if those include bands already mentioned in this article, because why the hell not?

We have the ultimate fictional band ever...




One made for a Harry Potter movie, comprised of members of Pulp and Radiohead, and were originally going to be played by Franz Ferdinand...


The one with the papier-mache'd headed singer...


Those who are here to make you think about death and get sad and stuff...


A little clip about a band who gave the finger to a bunch of shitweeds...


And the ones on the this article's title, because how could we have the title and not the song?


Now, of course, is the time for the question(s)! What's your favorite fictional movie band? If you could create a band for a movie, who would you cast in which instrument and why?
