Have you ever seen Beach Blanket Bingo? It's this crazy early '60s beach party movie that features, among other ridiculous things, three actors who should have logically never shared a screen together: Buster Keaton, Don Rickles and Paul Lynde. Keaton is the biggest surprise, given he actually speaks in the film; and Rickles gets away with his appearance by being allotted one scene wherein he gets to riff and mock the entire film. Paul Lynde, however, serves the thankless function of being a stick-in-the-mud. Considering this, it's tough to say what Mr. Lynde would have thought of tongue-in-cheek alt-rock band, Paul Lynde Fan Club. Despite his fuddy-duddy onscreen persona, I think he'd love finally being in on the joke - getting to be the band that actually plays the beach party.
