SCTV's "The Queen Haters" featuring Martin Short (1983)

I think this is hilarious. I hope you do too.

This month marks the 43rd anniversary of SCTV's "THE QUEEN HATERS," one of the most beloved fake punk bands in pop culture history. This lineup, featured on "Mel's Rock Pile" in March 1983 starred Eugene Levy as Mel Slirrup and on lead guitar, Martin Short on vocals, Joe Flaherty on bass, Andrea Martin on guitar, and John Candy on drums.
