Hive mind, if you were remaking The Blues Brothers, but with a knitted chicken and scribbled minimalist cartoon figure instead of Jake & Elwood, what would you call it?

Brothers just feels wrong.

Edit: Ah, your brains are all working much better than mine. Going to do a poll.... incoming!

Another edit: The democratic choice is... The Blues Brooders  Thank you all!

OK, lets give democracy a go, with the choices limited to the ones that have both the alliteration and syllable count of the original because you all came up with enough ideas for me to limit it to that.

So, The Blues Brothers, but with one knitted chicken and a simple cartoon humanoid instead of Jake & Elwood?

(oh, can I only have 4 options? in that case let's go with...)

The Blues Besties

The Blues Brooders
34.9%
The Blues Buddies
34.9%
The Blues Bawkers

Hahaha, dammit democracy. Where's your decisiveness?!

OK, poll part 2. The winners from last time, and a couple of late entries.

*ahem*

So, we're looking for a title for The Blues Brothers, but with a knitted chicken and scribbled minimalist cartoon figure instead of Jake & Elwood... GO!

(if there's a tie this time I'm going to toss a die - I promise I'm not going to do this all night 😁 )

@eclectech This may be the Delaware in me, but disappointed that the "Blue Hen Brothers" is not under consideration.

Blues Friends?
Blues Duo?
Show threadeclectechJan 27
@BritishKoalaTea Both possible, I think I'm making it more difficult by trying to come up with something with both the alliteration and the same syllable count.

Well, if it were Myfanwy & Esme: The Blues Biddies / The Cobalt Chooks

Hmmm The Cobalt Couple maybe?

@AnguaDelphine i think it would have been easier if I had gone for two chickens, but didn't want to leave Friend out 😁

Well ideas to bank:

Myfanfy & Esme in the finale poster for Thelma & Louise?

Then again Miss Myfanwy & Mr Friend in Murder Most Fowl (I think Margaret Rutherford would have found that funny).

@eclectech It could be a joint appearance from Myfanwy & Esme, while Friend would make a very good backing musician.
Show threadeclectechJan 27
@sheepnik This would be an excellent idea, had I not started mangling the poster which doesn't have any musicians. I fear I may end up revisiting this one...
