I've always felt about how Spanky McFarland-the actor-felt about the '60s rock group Spanky And Our Gang appropriating his name.

From what little I've read about the band online I understand that their lead singer's real surname was McFarland. For obvious reasons she was nicknamed Spanky. I guess that it was inevitable that he band would become Our Gang.

Technically "McFarlane." She was also in the movie "Moonrunners," which the Maltin/Bann book alludes to as an impostor Spanky, although they don't actually say it. They obviously never saw the movie.
