The Best Benefit Concerts/Charity Songs in the History of Animation
I don’t know about you all, but I think it’s about time for a benefit concert or at the very least a charity song. I’m not talking about something silly on YouTube that exists solely so celebrities can stroke their own egos. What I’m envisioning, is a massive spectacle where musicians and entertainers give themselves over to an amazing cause and leave every ounce of energy on the arena stage—or in times like this, in a disinfected recording studio.
Still don’t get it? Here are some of the best benefit concerts and charities songs from your favorite animated shows. These are desperate times, folks. So if you need to, pretend these benefits are just for you.
Strickland Propane’s Concert for the Environment (King of the Hill)
Buck Strickland is a bad boss. He might not be C. Montgomery Burns levels of evil, but he’s done a ton of shady things that negatively affected the people around him including, his long suffering wife, the entire Hill family, and his sidepiece, Debbie, who winds up accidentally shooting herself in the face. Of all the asses Hank threatened to kick over thirteen seasons, he never once threatened Buck, a man whose ass needed kicking the most.
In the episode “Earthly Girls are Easy,” we find Hank and Buck working together when the newspaper wants to expose the company for illegally disposing of old propane tanks. Buck gets the idea to throw an event called, Strickland Propane’s Concert for the Environment when Dale turns him on to carbon offsetting. This concert was a great big scam to show environmentalists the offset trees he bought as opposed to ones the company actually planted.
But who cares—besides Hank—when the opening act is Big Mountain Fudgecake? For those of you not in the know, B.M.F is a new-age rock band comprised of John Redcorn, Lucky Kleinschmidt, and Elvin Mackelston. Lucky and Elvin are voiced by real-life musicians, Tom Petty and Trace Adkins, respectively.
We only see a brief moment of the concert, but one can assume Chuck Mangione also performed a set on his flugelhorn.
"There are also other characters that come and go (also owned by the Warner Bros. Discovery conglomerate media company)."
Huh. Is that just referring to other characters from the show itself, or is this implying that the new season is going to have cameos from other WBD IPs
