Spanky and Our Gang was an American 1960s folk-rock band led by Elaine "Spanky" McFarlane. The band derives its name from Hal Roach's popular Our Gang comedies of the 1930s (known to modern audiences as The Little Rascals), and McFarlane was nicknamed "Spanky" because of her resemblance to Our Gang's main star George "Spanky" McFarland.
