Fictional Bands Who Reached Billboard’s Charts: The Wonders, August Moon, 4*TOWN, Spinal Tap & More


Movie & TV Bands: These fake artists have real hit songs on the charts.

The film tells the story of a scrappy quartet from Erie, Pa., in the 1960s who strike gold with “That Thing You!,” an undeniable pop smash that helps propel the band from playing local pizza parlors to headlining The Hollywood Television Showcase on national TV. The album’s music is sung by the six Brady kids: Marcia (played by Maureen McCormick), Jan (Eve Plumb), Cindy (Susan Olsen), Greg (Barry Williams), Peter (Christopher Knight), and Bobby (Mike Lookinland). O Brother follows three escaped convicts (played by George Clooney, John Turturro and Tim Blake Nelson) in the 1930s Deep South in their pursuit of treasures and their adventures along the way—the film is loosely based on Homer’s Odyssey.
