The Dropouts (Wait Till Your Father Gets Home)
From Rocklopedia Fakebandica
Jump to navigationJump to searchOne hit wonder rock band of college dropouts managed by layabout Chet Doyle in "The Music Tycoon" episode (1972) of animated sitcom Wait Til Your Father Gets Home.
Dad Harry Boyle pays for their $300 demo record just to get them to stop rehearsing at his house. Dischord Records buys it and puts out 50,000 copies right off.
Their song "Wham Bam I'm in Love With Sam" jumps from #39 to number one. Chet foolishly blows all his profits on fancy cars, expensive offices, and their follow up single, "Go Go I'm In Love With Moe." Unfortunately it jumps from #39 to #235, ending Chet's music career.
Lineup:
- Jack Lerner, medical school
- Mike Winslow, law school
- Dave Robbins, engineering school
- Barry Ferguson engineering school
