Answer: A Flock of Seagulls

Alex Fletcher had also been popular in the 1980s with a band called PoP! In the present, however, Fletcher was viewed as a has-been, a musician who admittedly lived on his past glory.

When Fletcher found out that he would have to box, and not sing, on the "Battle of the '80s Has-Beens", he was less than excited by the offer. Alex's manager, Chris Riley (Brad Garrett), later apologized to his client for the humiliating experience.

Answer: Plant Girl

Alex Fletcher composed catchy melodies for the group PoP!, but he relied on his ex-partner, Colin Thompson, for lyrics. After Fletcher reluctantly agreed to write a song for Cora, Fletcher's manager, Chris Riley, hired a "hip and edgy" lyricist named Greg Antonsky to assist Fletcher. Alex and Greg didn't get along at all; however, Sophie Fisher (Drew Barrymore), a young woman who was tending to Fletcher's house plants, began spouting some interesting lyrics which intrigued Alex.

In disgust, Greg called Sophie "Plant Lady" and subsequently stormed out of Fletcher's apartment. Alex begged Sophie to become his lyricist, but Sophie declined Fletcher's offer.

When the two women entered the room. Alex was performing a sexy song called "Meaningless Kiss". In the middle of the song, Alex coyly asked the adoring, screaming middle-aged women, "Do you think my pants are too tight?" Alex sang these lyrics from the song's chorus:

We knew it was wrong, but we couldn't resist
Just a meaningless kiss
'Til I fell in love with you..."

It was during this song that Sophie realized just how popular Alex really was.
