Yaaaaay! Let's make up band names!

[Bossy Monkey]

Or if you're not feeling creative, just share your favorite obscure/weird/oddball band names. However, any reply will be disallowed unless it's in the form of a stage announcement, as in the following that I just made up:

WE ARE... THE FLOPSWEATS!

As ever, if there's a real band by this name, just don't tell me. Ok! Everybody play!

[david_vincent]

1. Prepare yourself for...

the Backslapping Tyrants!!!

[lucidmadman]

3. Death Row Jethro...

...some band had that as a name but disappeared within like two weeks. Thought it was a great name for an Alt/Country band.

[NoPasaran]

2. Ladies and Gentlemen... The Wet Farts!

[Rainbowreflect]

4. When I was in Jr. high we were going to form a band.

The Vipers.
1st album - "Kiss of Death"
2nd album - "Fangs of fury"
and our best of - "The Vipers, Bite Back"
Of course none of us had any talent.

[DrZhivago]

5. Panty Mayonnaise

[Tina H]

6. "Long Story Short"

I always thought that would be a good one.

[Bossy Monkey]

15. Great one! But I'm sorry, it wasn't in the form of a stage announcement

BUZZZZZZ! :P

[Tina H]

21. Okay, I didn't realize my mic was on . . .

coming up next those rockin' radicals . . . the band IMHO magazine characterized as "luring onto common ground the extreme right *and* the extreme left" . . . they're delicious, they're seditious . . . they are fed up and they aren't going to take it anymore . . . ITS:

The Violent Overthrow of the Government


DISCLAIMER: Promotion of this band is not Constitutionally protected behavior.

[boobooday]

7. THE RAVING FUNGUS

Or an alternative

The Raving Fungi

My third choice: The Cicadas. haha

Allo Allo Daveskilt!!!

:evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin:

[lovedems]

9. There is a local band that has what I think is a great name

Black Magic Johnson

Another local band in which I love the name is The Mighty Circus Fleas. My husband is in a band and they have a boring name...FUZZ.

[JohnLocke]

10. Homicidal Suicidal Maniacs

:D

[Bill Wade]

11. I always thought 'Smells Like Republican' would be good..

[aquaman]

12. Bands I used to be in during my college days....

Alcohol
Biscuit Head Love Train
Grub Worm

[NightTrain]

13. Receding Bustline

n/t

[david_vincent]

14. There was a band named the Vipers

I think they had several albums. If I recall, their first was called Outta The Nest and it's regarded as a minor classic in some circles.
And there was a band in the 60s called Randy Alvey & Green Fuz (one 'Z') who recorded a song also called Green Fuz that's distinctly a masterpiece of its genre.
I always liked Boeing Duveen and the Beautiful Soup, and Simple Simon and the Piemen. But Black Magic Johnson and Death Row Jethro are winners too!

[ZenLefty]

16. The Vas Deferens

Always thought that would make a good band name. (in case anybody doesn't know, it's an anatomical reference)

Weeping Cardboard Jesus came up in the Lounge earlier this week - that will make a great band name!

[UnAmericanJoe]

17. Tweety's Bush

[LostInAnomie]

18. The Backstreet Boys...

... if it's not already taken.

[hatrack]

19. I'll start with my all time favorite actual band name - The Shitty Beatles

From Austin, early 1980s. You see, they were just like the Beatles, only shitty.

Other possibilities -

Phlegm, Mucus and Toe Jam

Hitler's Left Nut

The Bastard Sons of Eddie Haskell

Alphonso Bedoya's Hat

Pursued By Geraldo Rivera

[SarahB]

20. Medulla Oblongata

[peekaloo]

22. Hold on tight for......The Teflon Dingleberries!

songs that will stick with you!

[Dan-W]

23. The Stools.

[FarmerOak]

24. Ladies and gentlemen...

... put your hands together and give a warm DU welcome to...

SHRUBBY AND THE WAR CRIMINALS!

(Wild Applause)

Featuring "hits" from their latest album, "Misunderestimated!"

[Bossy Monkey]

25. Well done, all! Let's keep this going!

Yaaaaay! More band names!

[DoctorBombay]

26. Four to the Flush

..poker terminology seems to lend itself well to band monickers.

[Rabrrrrrr]

27. Sexually Confused Bible-Thumpin' Hate-Filled Freepers

[FarmerOak]

28. Stern has hosted...

Dick Delicious and the Tasty Testicles. They sang "Diarrhea."

Top DAT!

[Bossy Monkey]

29. Eerily similar: I turned down the opportunity to see

Dick Stiff and the Swinging Testicles 21 years ago on junior year abroad in England. Great minds and all that...

[Zomby Woof]

30. Booger Trifecta

I included this suggestion in a letter I wrote Dave Barry. He always comes up with cool rock band names in his columns, and it was appropriate in the context of the correspondence I sent him. Boogers are a recurring theme in his work. :D

[davsand]

31. Screaming Willies

Alternate version the Banshees. I always thought it would be a great name.


Laura

[Beware the Beast Man]

33. Pathological Bistro

One time a friend of mine & I came up with a huge list of possible band names. That was one of them.

[Bossy Monkey]

34. I laughed out loud. I'd definitely go see such a band...

And I'm NOT just saying that to kick my own thread!:D

[NightTrain]

35. Video Sex Pope

Thank you, Jello Biafra!

[voice of reason]

36. Elders of Zion

37. I like

The Twinkie Defense, maybe I'll use it someday.

My old band in the 90's was called Dyslexicon (we had the name long before that Dandelion album came out, BTW).

My daughter's in The Ramonas (all girl Ramones cover band) and V.A.M.P. (I think it stands for Vagrants Ate My Picnic or something like that).

[DS1]

38. The ass-gurgling beershits!

[IggleDoer]

39. Oedipus ...

... and the Mothers

[peacefreak]

40. Xanax Haze
