Topic: THE WEIRDEST BAND NAMES

Whe listen often to a song performed by a group with an absurd name. Like:
- Squirrel Nut Zippers
- Martha Reeves and the Vandellas (what is a vandella?)
- Hootie and the Blowfish.
Enjoy yourselfs here, with silly band names.

Re: THE WEIRDEST BAND NAMES

Going back to the seventies, there was Tonto's Expanding Headband, The Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band and many others, I'm sure they will come back to me.
Oh, here is another more recent comedy band: Corky and the Juice Pigs
I am working on the lyrics and chords for Dolphin Boy by them, followed by a version of Susanne I have on video somewhere, excellent!

Re: THE WEIRDEST BAND NAMES

The Del-Vikings - (doo-wop groups had alot of Del names, but why Vikings?)

Prefab Sprout - possibly the best band with the worst name. They'd have been massive with a better moniker.

Wishbone Ash - (actually know the story to this one, it's an amalgamation two favourite names picked by fans of the original band)

There's a heavy-metal, soft-rock, adult contemporary, avant-garde, industrial- polka band from Mindanao, Philippines that go by the name;
"Wax Off Compulsively"

Re: THE WEIRDEST BAND NAMES

How about

Johnny and the Self Abusers (Changed to Simple Minds)
Buzzcocks
Nipple Erectors
Pogue Mahone (gaelic for kiss my bottom, later changed to The Pogues)
Larry Lurex (Freddie Mercury in a previous incarnation)
Virgin Prunes

And as an extension, the weirdest track name I can bring to mind;

Pink Floyd's Several Species Of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together In A Cave And Grooving With A Pict

cool
