A costume for a trio of friends:
"Hey Diddle Diddle" from Mother Goose -- Human version:
Hep Cat on the fiddle: dressed as a beatnik musician (helps if person really is a violinist, but a mock violin would work too)
"L'il Dawg": dressed as a Rapper, with fake gold letters on a chain spelling out the name (craft stores sell cardboard die cut letters for scrap-bookers, which can be painted)
The Dish: dressed as a glamorous woman from the 1940s (with a bandit's mask, and carrying a large spoon or ladle)

And there are also other benefits to befriending a violinist, as well (such as getting to listen in on some violin music).
To be fair, though: this idea did not spring full-grown in my head; I was inspired by this clip from the 1970s iteration of The Electric Company: Hey, Diddle Diddle (Warning, the song is an ear worm with teeth).
