Associated artists that have been mentioned in TV shows or films

Hi! I was watching School of Rock recently and there is a scene where a boy and girl are talking about the girl being the drummer of the band. The boy says ' girls can't play the drums' and the girl replies 'Sheila E!'

In Sixteen Candles there is Molly Ringwald and 2 other girls talking about the school prom and one of the girls says ' we could be a girl group, I'll be Vanity!'

Are there any others that u know of?

In the first season of South Park, Chef is making lunches in the school cafeteria and recites the Cooking Class lyrics.

Gimme a little bit of that pepper
Gimme a little bit of that salt
Put it in the skillet and cook it

My buddy actually taped that on DVR and saved it for like 6 months to play for me(I had already seen it, but you get the idea)

In the Golden Child Eddie Murphy says something like You got that Morris Day vibe going on

I remember in a episode of growing pains when the Sever mother was having her youngest daughter they were trying to figure out names for her and the Kirk Cameron character said "Hey how about Apollonia?"

I don't know if these count but..

in Pretty In Pink in the record store where Molly works there's a

poster of Jesse Johnson's Revue album cover hanging around..

and in Soul Man, there is a scene where Mark is invited to that

white girl's house for dinner.. that girl's little brother is watching

Jesse Johnson's video to Be Your Man on a little portable TV..

May you rest in peace, my beautiful queen, Teena Marie rose
