Eddie Enrico and his Hong Kong Hotshots - From the book Vineland
(1990). Thomas Pynchon's novel mentions this band.

In an unusual twist, 1990's "Vineland" appears to reference the movie.
'Eddie Enrico and his Hong Kong Hotshots',( pages 78 & 79 Little,
Brown edition) pop up in the novel. Note the alliteration of the
singer's name. Further proof is the mention on the same page, of Ramon
Raquello. This is the name of the fake orchestra leader that is
playing, and interrupted, during the fabled Orson Welles 1939
production of "War of the Worlds". In Buckaroo Banzai Yoyodyne is
based at Grover's Mill, the actual site in New Jersey where Welles had
his Martian invaders land.
