15 Greatest Fictional Bands Of All Time

15. Mouse Rat (from Parks & Recreation)

They've been known to Pawnee, Indiana locals by many names -- Scarecrow Boat, Punch Face Champion, Radwagon, Puppy Pendulum, Nothing Rhymes With Orange, Everything Rhymes With Orange -- but in the hearts of Parks & Recreation's loyal fans, it doesn't matter what they call themselves, so long as the band formerly (and possibly currently) known as Mouse Rat keeps finding a way to rock.

Self-described as a cross between Matchbox Twenty and The Fray, it's easy to dismiss Andy Dwyer and his ragtag group of jock-rockers as a joke. After all, that's certainly what the creators of Parks & Rec intended when they came up with songs like "Sex Hair" and "Menace Ball".

But underneath the silly titles and Eddie Vedder-aping vocal delivery, there's some real heart and a surprising knack for melody.

Best Song: "5,000 Candles in the Wind"

While most Mouse Rat songs fall squarely into the jangly 90s pop rock milieu, this one aims for power ballad territory. And nails it.
