Mumy began acting when he was 4, but not as some pitiful child actor forced into the business.
Rhino Records has just released “ Zabagabee,” a collection of Barnes and Barnes’ best work. Mumy makes his living writing comic books, acting, writing music and performing as half of Barnes and Barnes. Mumy lives with two cats and his wife, Ilene Davis, a Jane Fonda Workout instructor, who he says keeps him from getting a beer belly. “If that keeps us a little cult band, that’s OK.” “We want to make people laugh,” says Mumy from his home in Los Angeles. The video aired on “Saturday Night Live” and became an early MTV favorite. “Fish heads, fish heads, roly poly fish heads fish heads, fish heads, eat them up, yum!” If the Barnes name doesn’t ring a bell, maybe their music video “Fish Heads” will. Mumy, 34, is half of the bizarre cult band Barnes and Barnes.

One of the two guys in the group was Bill(y) Mumy, who was already known to millions as Will Robinson on the ’60s TV show “Lost in Space.” Then, if you watched the video - which you can check out below - the images therein pretty much doubled the weird factor.Īnd there’s one more thing. The ’80s song “Fish Heads” by Barnes & Barnes wasn’t notable only for its oddly catchy chorus, but also for its bizarre lyrics, and the two unusual “singing” voices.
