Wow, that's funny... Uncle Floyd being the fifth Beatle.  

Which band?

For the other 99% of this list: Uncle Floyd is very weird show with a
cult following on an obscure New Jersey cable TV station.  It's a
delightfully strange adult comedy show disguised as a children's show,
sort of like "Peewee's Playhouse" in that sense.

You can find clips on YouTube, and I highly recommend the "Best of
Uncle Floyd" DVD.

Mellotron connection?  Sure... there's a David Bowie song called "Slip
Away" that honors the Uncle Floyd show and Bowie's most famous song
features Rick Wakeman playing Mellotron.
