From the TV series Lost (01/18/06). There's a glimpse of the album cover, looking super hippy-dippy trippy and oh-so-late sixties, or early seventies. Charlie (Dominic Monaghan) mentions that he's never heard of them, musical expert that he is. There's a chance it's real, but incredibly obscure, but I think it's probably fake, so I'm going to go ahead and list it here. One of the other albums seen is The Pousette-Dart Band, which is real. Another band glimpsed when Hurley the fat guy (Jorge Garcia) is flipping thru records is "Ooklah the Moc" which is a reference to the 1980-1982 cartoon Thundarr the Barbarian, which had a character called "Ookla the Mok." Ookla was apparently named after UCLA. There's a Hawaian reggae band called Ooklah the Moc, but they've only been around since 1997, and the cache of vinyl albums Charlie and Hurley find supposedly hasn't been touched since the early 80s. Lost films in Hawaii, so it's probably somebody on the show giving a tiny shout out to this local band by slipping them in the record pile. Thanks to Jason Torchinsky for this one.
