the other guys

I have this great idea for a concept super-band that would be composed entirely of “the other guy” from popular Duos – you know, the less-talented member of the duo you’ve never heard of unless their name was literally in the band name. Some starter suggestions:

  • John Oates
  • Curt Smith
  • Andrew Ridgely
  • Art Garfunkle

It’d be easy to joke about how it’d be the worst band ever, but if you think about it, years of toiling behind the scenes of a more talented egomaniacal partner would mean they are primed for collaboration on a massive scale – leading, possibly, to the greatest rock band of all time!

Who else?

There actually is a band called Garfunkel and Oates.

This is either the dumbest idea ever or brilliant. I’m not sure which

I just realized this is an episode of The Simpsons (as was foretold in the prophecy): http://en.wikipedia.org/wik…

As usual, my best ideas have already been done. Sigh. Well, back to the drawing board..

Thanks! Your comment has been submitted and will appear shortly.
