The band you were warned about

 THE SUSPECTS

 

The Suspects lined up on the stage,

Standing in the spotlight’s glare.

The hottest band around,

They’re wanted everywhere.

 

They could bamboozle a crowd,

Playing a flim flam jam.

Making sure to cover their tracks,

The Suspects were on the lam.

 

Seeing their act was a steal.

Their grooves were pickpocket good.

They knew when to beat it,

Escaping where they could.

 

They’re a true band on the run,

And of this you can be sure,

Keep your eyes on The Suspects,

While they’re out on tour.

Makes me wonder if the Maroon Five can segue out of Super Bowl controversy about whether or not they will have to steal away in the night before and not appear before the court of Super Bowl fans judging commercials.

Realistically, I think they will do fine if part of their performance involves kneeling before the crowd and playing their version of the Star Speckled Banana. I think it will go over big with all sides of the stupid issue.

I guess, Band on the Run, is already taken, but The Suspects, are certainly easy to spot with this build up you have provided.

With a band name like that, what else could you expect.
