Straight out of Riverdale, she was the Keith Moon to Josie's Roger Daltrey, Melody Valentine(speaking voice by Jackie Joseph, singing voice by Cheryl Ladd) was the brilliant drummer of the Pussycats. This flaxen haired siren always had men salivating and following her every move with just one stroll down the street. Melody was a riot girrl before the term was coined and added WAY MORE sex than any pop singer of the day, because like most girl drummers she was hot. She was the one that made Mike Myers "horny on Saturday Morniny" in So I Married An Axe Murderer. I don't think any members of the Pussycats get nearly enough respect when it comes to . I bet PJ Harvey, Bjork and Kathleen Hanna would not have been rocking and spitting mad venom without the Pussycats. And please don't mention Tara Reid playing Melody in the film because frankly the original is always better.
Most importantly, the band's tunes were the most unstoppably catchy in cartoons this side of The Wayouts song on the Flintstones and we all know Melody is STILL a better drummer than Meg White. That fact alone makes her an unappreciated legend of rock.
