This is a spoof of a BUNCH of similar cartoons produced in the 1980s. We can't include such "This that and the other thing" references because everyone would try to add their own personal favorite, making an extremely long fact that adds little to nothing to the article. --Jay 02:37, 6 Apr 2005 (MST)

As far as bands in space, I remember the Patridge Family in Outer Space (cartoon) and Journey (at least in the video game version). So, yeah, multiple bands. I think though that the identified "bands in space" could be added to a real world references section of this piece.
