Fisherman's Friends are just singing and not performing for anyone. Not a band per se.

but yes to Cheech and Chong

Ok I'll keep nominations open for a while - like end of the day tomorrow.

I have many many more than I expected. Here is what I am going to do.

I am going to divide the list into TV and Movie and have a single vote for TV and Movie categories to get both lists down to 32 entries each. You can vote for say 20 in each category. Then the first round of the 64 tourney will be

1-32 Movies seeded
vs
32-1 TV shows seeded

In the case where something is both TV and movie (Blue Brothers, Muppets) it will be wherever they first appeared (TV for both of those).

And in the case of a TV Movie (Sgt. Pepper) it goes under TV.

What I love about this commercial is, if you read the lead singer's lips as she's singing...the words to their songs are:

"Aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!"

No wonder they sell out their shows.

Excellent inclusive list!

My nomination
The Stains - Ladies and Gentlemen, the Fabulous Stains (1982)
Actors: Diane Laine, Laura Dern, Marin Kanter
Actual Artist: ??
Hit: "Professionals"

Edit: Don't know how I missed the first look through. I guess I was tired of waiting for the embedded videos to appear. Yeah that is my excuse.

Anyways, we are likely the only two on this board who have watched both Some Like it Hot and Ladies and Gentlemen, the Fabulous Stains.
