Happiness Unlimited
From Rocklopedia Fakebandica
(Redirected from The Tangerine Conspiracy)
Jump to navigationJump to searchBand from the recurring "Mel's Rock Pile" skit on sketch comedy television series SCTV. A parody of teen dance shows, the 04/10/1984 episode has host Rockin' Mel Slirrup (Eugene Levy) showing a clip from 1969 where psychedelic rock band The Tangerine Conspiracy play and Mel freaks out after being slipped LSD-spiked water. In the present, he presents the band again, only now they're a cheesy lounge act called Happiness Unlimited, and Mel has acid flashbacks as they play.
Their 1969 sound is pure Jefferson Airplane.
Lineup:
- Melissa Humphries (Catherine O'Hara), vocals
- Chuck Humphries (Martin Short), drums
- the rest of the band played by extras.
