Blue Skeletons in the Closet.

Everyone's done a few things in their past that they're embarrassed by, and for the Dodgers this is one of them. It's not enough to erase their long, proud tradition, but it sure makes you think twice. I've been a fan all my life (including 1986, the year in which this was made) and yet somehow I'd never heard of it until now. I'm sure the people involved would have wanted to keep it that way.

(Usually I wouldn't link to anything on YouTube that doesn't allow embedding, since that seems pretty fascist, but this seems to be the only way to share it, and I just can't resist.)

The All-Sports Band (yes, they really existed), "Jet":
