Name an obvious mistake/flubbed note/missed beat/clam that made it into the final mix. Using your best judgement, please try to weed out intentional “mistakes” like the false start in the beginning of “Milkcow Blues” by Elvis.

I’ll start with Charlie’s missed beat in the third chorus of “I’m Free”.

The following example, and our first entry in this Last Man Standing, is an example of about how liberal we may stretch the term “well-known actors.” Beside the musicians, just about everyone acting in a rock music video is an actor to some degree, but if we cannot easily name the person or cite him as “The guy/girl in ______,” as I can do by citing the actor playing the father in this video as “The guy from Animal House,” the actor does not count for this contest. Get it? Good. Let’s get it on!

Is it the birthright of every English guy named Mick to be in a band? Or, conversely, is it some sort of English law or regulation requiring that every band have a guy named Mick?

I recently caught a few minutes of a random documentary about a British punk band comprised of middle aged mentally handicapped guys, and even those guys had at least one Mick in the band.

So, name an English band with a guy named Mick in it. I’ll start: Heavy Load (the aforementioned middle aged mentally handicapped punk band).

Most of us would agree that Neil Diamond‘s appearance in The Last Waltz – and Robbie Robertson‘s production of his 1976 album Beautiful Noise – constitute an unlikely rock collaboration. Excluding completely staged, novelty collaborations, like Pat Boone dueting with Ozzy Osborne, what unlikely rock collaborations are really worth our tracking and discussion?

Holiday television special duets are acceptable.
