From the movie Shake, Rattle and Rock (1994). When the best thing about a movie is Howie Mandel, you know you're in for a world of discomfort. Such it is with the 1950s period Showtime channel movie Shake, Rattle & Rock (1994). Mandel is remarkably tolerable as cool, hip Danny Klay, host of Danny Klay's 3 O'clock Hop, the local rock and roll show.
Black female quartet Sireena and the Sirens are accidentally discovered by Klay, and get to perform "Look Into My Eyes" on his show. Unfortunately, the station manager gets a lot of calls about putting negroes on the air, you know, where white people might actually see them. Klay pulls a hitherto unknown set of principles out of his rectum, argues with the manager and gets canned.
Fortunately for Sireena Cooper (Latanyia Baldwin) and the rest of the nameless Sirens (played by Necia Bray, Josina Elder, and Wendi Williams), who should stop into her mom's restaurant, but Thomas Taylor (Ron Jackson) VP of Sceptre Records.
Trivia Time! The band's singing was done by group For Real, who also provided the singing voices of fake band The Luminaries in Grace of My Heart. Also, MTV metalhead VJ Rikki Rachtman has a cameo playing rock legend Eddie Cochran- aw man! Rikki should be rolling in his grave! Wait, I mean... no, that's accurate.
