Dandi and Pandi

Whew. Where to begin. Okay, this interracial singing duo comes from the jaw-droppingly, mind-numbingly bad 1980 movie The Apple, a sort of train wreck combo of Rocky Horror Picture Show, The Phantom of the Paradise and The Book of Revelations, set in the far flung future of 1994.

Dandi (Alan Love) is exactly half Roger Daltrey of The Who and half Davy Jones of The Monkees. Pandi (Grace Kennedy) is yer standard hot black chick. They are the super huge, sequin-spangled singing sensation of the BIM company (Boogalow International Music), controlled by satanic fop Mr. Boogalow (Vladek Sheybal). He uses them to seduce the fresh-faced innocent folk duo Alphie and Bibi.

Their names are probably a clever writer's nod to the sins of Vanity (a "dandy" is a narcissistic fop) and Pandering, which can mean both catering to one's worst desires, and also specifically being a pimp.
