My children decided that they were tired of school lunch. It took them the span of me getting a video pulled up to stream to go from "tired of school lunch" to "we found a cheap microwave on Amazon and have crowdsourced half the cost of it to pay back Ringleader, it'll be here next week."
Microwave arrived today, and they're reenacting the opening to 2001: A Space Odyssey as one of the kids sets it up, all chanting "MIC-RO-WAVE. MIC-RO-WAVE."
...they have named the microwave Jeff.

Fantasy NPC: Elthamiel, the Dancer
So, Elthamiel just dances and Dagga sings? Why build them as NPC classes and invent feats when Bard levels could get them to the same place? I'm just curious, not criticizing or anything. I use Expert NPCs, along with Adepts and Warriors or combos of all three, a lot.
In my own games I do this so that PC-classed characters or NPCs really stand out. I also do this to avoid over-optimization. It's hard to truly grind out a dangerous opponent with levels of Adept and Expert to represent a "druid", but if you just take one less level of Druid on your villain they can get scary, fast!

They are not bards specifically because they just dance/sing. Bard has a lot more going on that using skill - bardic performance, spells, other class abilities. Those are NPCs to be used either in background, or as quest givers, quest subjects, or nuissance. Basically, bard levels would get them further away from where they are intended to be.

So you're saying bard is too much when you're going for a Skyrim Tavern Singer?
As an aside, there really should be an achievement for assassinating every single one of them.

That doesn't have to do with the (probably apocryphal) story of a pissed-off stage tech turning the codpiece-mounted flamethrowers belonging to a Big Rock 'n'Roll Star so they faced inwards rather than outwards, does it? (Probably not, as I think that was Blackie Lawless from W.A.S.P., and it was a good while ago...)
