Run a talent search (televised) seeking 5 members of a new band to be called 'The Mumble-Shits'. Each member is chosen by their attributes of drug/alcohol induced slurring and dishevelled appearance.
Get them all up on stage totally off their heads with microphones and instruments and flashing lights.
None of the music would make sense - naming each track after what they were on or some gutter inspired relic.

Big fan of S-Club 7/HearSay/Steps/Spice Girls, are we? |

It can't be any worse than the pure dog-shite that's been in the charts for the last 10 years or so. Or probably longer... |

Hasn't this already been done by Malcolm Maclaren? Surely the Sex Pistols meet the requirements that [benfrost] is looking for? |

well, my version of the Mumble Shits is three or four members who would be hand picked from my local red light district. An old guy with a yellow beard and one shoe who keeps yelling out 'Thursday ...iz fukken thursday', a younger guy in a tracksuit and a mobile phone (much like Spud from trainspotting in Mike Leigh's movie 'Naked' who keeps shouting 'Maggie!!!'), and of course leading the rhythm section a long haired junkie type who nods to the beat and occasionally utters some romantic slurred gem while simultaneously face down at the front of the stage. |

I guess though this type of act is probably already touring at a streetcorner near you. |

So this is like, the stages of a band in reverse? |
