The bass player is played by Harry Shearer (the voice of several characters on "The Simpsons"). His character was bald and had a very deep voice.

Answer: A Kiss at the End of the Rainbow

At the Academy Awards held in 2004, Eugene Levy and Catherine O'Hara performed the song in character. They even kissed at the end of the song like Mitch and Mickey did in the film. It's too bad it lost to "Into the West" from "Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King".
