Ookla The Mok (band)

Ookla the Mok is the name of a filk band fronted by Rand Bellavia and Adam English. The two met as undergraduates while attending Houghton College in 1988. The band is named after a character from the Ruby-Spears Productions cartoon Thundarr the Barbarian, created by Steve Gerber. They utilise an irreverent mix of pop culture and rock music, notably in their album Smell No Evil (2001) - the world's first monkey rock opera. They provided the theme song to Disney's Fillmore!, and scored the feature film Bite Me, Fanboy! They (or Rand and Adam) have won 4 Pegasus Awards for excellence in filk music, and their music has twice been included on Dr. Demento compilations.
