25: TOON
TOON was made for cartoon shorts and other hyper-slapstick comedy like that. I wouldn’t use TOON for a Meddling Kids cartoon (or live) band, but I might use it for the Electric Mayhem from The Muppet Show.
Cartoon stars often perform music or form bands, sometimes fronting orchestras for maximum sublime-ridiculous juxtaposition, and some of the classic shorts were called Silly Symphonies by Disney and Looney Tunes or Merrie Melodies by Warner Bros. See also recent things like Sing which has spinoff shorts in a full-on TOON style, and oddities like The Beatles cartoon and Gorillaz.

The Big Noise
“STICK!”
(IDLES cover)
Concept
The house band for the perennially-near-bankrupt Moulin Bleu theatre, prone to getting mixed up in antics involving the shows’ guest stars
Finneas Fox, vocals, not as charming as he thinks he is
Denny Duck, lead guitar, just really stoked to be here
Brenda Badger, bass, could be hibernating
Lady Lapwing, keyboards, most likely to start a fight
Minerva Mouse, drums, how someone so wee can make so much noise is a source of much conjecture
