Neighbours star Alan Fletcher said it would be a dream come true if the Kaiser Chiefs appeared on the show.
The actor, who has played Dr Karl Kennedy for 15 years, hinted that he'd approached the band about doing a cameo.
He enthused: "I'd love the Kaiser Chiefs on Neighbours - I think they're the perfect fit, and I've put it to them!"
He added: "They've got a delicious sense of humour in what they sing about and a lot of their songs are about suburban life, city life, street life and so forth."
The Aussie soap has played host to a number of famous musicians over the years, including the Pet Shop Boys and, more recently, Lily Allen.
In 2006, Kaisers frontman Ricky Wilson told how he would like to make an appearance on the show.
"I remember watching the Pet Shop Boys in a cameo part and that was hilarious," he said. "They asked for directions to the recording studio."

A recent on-stage routine by Russell Brand landed him in hot water. It prompted a police warning about hoax or "frivolous" calls and resulted in the comedian issuing a statement of apology.

So, it’s about an old man flying away on an adventure by attaching a huge bunch of helium balloons to his house. Even for the talented craftspeople at Pixar, who successfully brought us a near-silent film about robots last year, this seems far-fetched. We needn’t have worried though. Up is the best Pixar film since Toy Story.

With Wimbledon 2009 in full swing, err… serve, the top tennis players from around the world are focused entirely on their game. As they run up and down the court screaming with exertion, the rest of us non-pros can't help but judge them on something other than their passing shots; that's right, how good looking they are.
