not so much for Kathleen Turner Overdrive which is a High Fidelity reference, I believe.

THE MOO GOO GAI BAND!

"Misery will be my opiate." eh eh

But how freaking emo is this: Crane Your Swan Neck

ohhh, I feel all stabby now

I prefer E=MC Hawking.

My favorite is from the comments section:

Diarrhea Anne Frank

I'm fond of Bachman Pretzel Overdrive, myself.

My 2 favorite band names

The Dead Kenny G's

Scary Kids Scaring Kids

/runner up: courtney killed kurt

The Canonical List of Weird Band Names (new window)

No Ringo Deathstarr?

Kathleen Turner Overdrive's been around for ages.

Still the champion: REO Speeddealer

Anus the Menace is, was, and will forever be the funniest band name.

Rev. Skarekroe: Kathleen Turner Overdrive's been around for ages.

So has Kathleen Turner.

But she still looks prety good all things considered. (had lunch with her last week)

I did a Google search on my kids name and came up with a death metal band that is her namesake. Strange considering it's a pretty rare name combo Link (new window)

I was in the band "George Jefferson Airplane" in the early nineties, followed by a short stint in "BTO shiatwagon".

/Ahead of my time?

WHAT?! Lee Press On and the Nails (new window) have been playing some of the most entertaining swing music in the Bay Area for YEARS! Lee himself is a fricking genius. They're not (random thing) and (random other thing), the name makes perfect sense.

I laughed at Harrison Ford Escort, June With a Cleaver, and John Wilkes' Kissing Booth. Andrew Jackson Jihad are actually really good.

GQueue: Still the champion: REO Speeddealer

I've heard of them playing in Ellum, but it's been years. My vote still goes to the Revolting Cocks

GQueue: Still the champion: REO Speeddealer

They had to change the name...they go by Speedealer now

The "Truth in Advertising" category made me wet myself.

The Oklahomos is one band name that made me lol
/not on list, just some old cover band from Austin I think

the metal bands were the best...classic

A band in my old highschool was named "the right to arm bears" I thought it was pretty creative.

My favorite will always be Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza.

If you say "Diarrhea Anne Frank" in a thick New England accent, it's funnier.

3=^^

3=^^< |-|4^^^^3R actually

What about 'Peeping Tom Collins' or 'Al Sharptons Hair-piece'

Wheres the Magnum Jihad?
Wheres the Witchpenis?

my friend's band is called "Six Vinyl Penguins", which was silly cuz they only had four memebers. Sometimes a guy in a giant penguin suit would get up on stage at shows with them and dance along to the music, which i thought was slightly hilarious, but then again, i was drinking.

Blessed By A Broken Heart is an amazing band. Too bad their band has a shiatty name.

I think cute band names are great but in general, the cuter the name the worse the music.


Except for the Brian Jonestown Massacre.

Was Natalie Portman's Shaved Head mentioned in TFA? I like that ponytail song.

If I ever start an emo band I'm going to call it "Look on my despairs, ye mighty, and work!".

JP Freshlove and the Rhythm Midgets

Pretty damned funny but then it is the AV Club meets Real Life.

I clicked on one of the funk bands; good stuff.

FeedTheCollapse: not so much for Kathleen Turner Overdrive which is a High Fidelity reference, I believe.


They were on the verge. But that night, they were Barry Jive and the Uptown 5.

And my friend used to think that naming his band (if he had one) "poopinabag" would be hilarious/cool.

John Cougar Concentration Camp

LOL'd at "Obstacle Corpse".

Wow...not a singe Wizard Rock entry?* Hard to believe...

*Unless, of course, I'm too drunk to have noticed any...which is a distinct possibility.

My son was in a band he called "These Hands Are Imperfections."

/Yeah, EMO
//he's 20, yo

I was in band called Monistat 8

DT & the Shakes?
The Nonoxynol 9?

/Don't steal 'em. I'll use 'em some day.

/Hot like the models he passed up on.

They had to change the name...they go by Speedealer now

REO Speedwagon (who got their name from a firetruck) sued them and made them change it.

the FOUR SKINS

A few of the bands I played with:

Children
Under
Nuclear
Threat
-street punk

Fist City Subway
- oi!

Corduroy Noise
- indie rock

Holy shiat.... That's what happens when you have two fark pages up at the same time...

If the mods care at all, you can remove that ridiculousness.

I thought "LOL WUT" was a fine band name. Better than "Strawberry Fox News Sundae".

Mr. Chainsaw: Andrew Jackson Jihad

Listening to them now. They're pretty good, as if the arrogant worms took a satire song and were more serious and talented.

My fave real band name:
Middle Modern Aural Circus,
or else
Mitchapalooza and the brown wave. the eponymous Mitch just stood there because he had no musical abilities.
