While walking my dog earlier this week, I had this epiphany (of course, it could just be the antihistamines talking...). As always, feedback is encouraged and deeply appreciated...

We Are An American Band
Or,
Hey, Hey, We're the [fill in the blank]

A Role-Playing Campaign for Risus: The Anything RPG

Genre: 1960's-70's Pop-Psychedelic Music Movies and Television
Tone: Silly

In 1965, the television producer Screen Gems developed a TV series inspired by the Beatles' films A Hard Day's Night and Help! featuring the antics of an American pop rock band. Several aspiring musicians and actors auditioned for the roles, and eventually Mike Nesmith, Micky Dolenz, Peter Tork and Davy Jones were catapulted to fame as The Monkees.

However, this is not their story. This story is about four young men who didn't make the cut. Instead, they decide to form their own band.

Aspiring Musician
Barely-Talented Musician
The Quiet One
The Goofy One
The Chick Magnet
The Funny One

Advanced Options:
Hooks and Tales
Pumping
Double Pumping
Lucky Shots
Eye of the Tiger

I seem to recall an old issue of Dungeon Magazine in its final year having as a D20 campaign setting something alone these lines, and allowing you to emulate mystery stories ala Josie & the Pussycats.
