'''Four Star Mary''' is an [[alternative rock]] group formed in [[California]] in 1997.

==Appearance in ''Buffy the Vampire Slayer''==
 
Lead singer Tad Looney, guitarist Michael ‘Zu’ Zufelt, bassist Steve Carter, drummer Chris Sobchack and rhythm guitarist Derrick Tanner made up the fictitious band Dingoes Ate My Baby in which Oz ([[Seth Green]]) plays lead guitar in Seasons Two, Three and Four of ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV series)|Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]''. They have also had tracks featured on the shows ''[[Party of Five]]'', ''[[Road Rules]]'', ''[[The Real World (TV series)|The Real World]]'' and ''[[Charmed]]''.
 
According to an interview in ''The Watcher’s Guide'', music editor John King heard their music at a party hosted by Steve Carter’s girlfriend and thought they would be good on the show. [[Joss Whedon]] decided that they had the right sound for the fictitious band he wanted. In Buffy, they played at several posting board and cast/crew parties.<ref name=watchers>{{cite book|last1=Holder|first1=Nancy|last2=Mariotte|first2=Jeff|last3=Hart|first3=Mary-Elizabeth|title=The Watchers Guide: Volume 2|date=2000|publisher=Pocket Books|pages=457}}</ref>
