I came up with a game (that’s probably been invented before) where you try to concatenate band names to make the longest string possible.
For example - I came up with Soul Wax Tailor Swift, which is a combination of Soulwax, Wax Tailor, and Taylor Swift. After a bit of googling I expanded it to Jagged Edge of Paradise Lost Soul Wax Tailor Swift, but I haven’t actually heard of Jagged Edge, Edge of Paradise, or Paradise Lost pre-googling.
I’m having trouble coming up with more than two at a time at the moment.
U2 Live Crew. Mercury Rev Horton Heat. (Thats a bit of cheating with no period after Rev for Reverend.) I’ll have to keep thinking.
The Blind Boys of Alabama Shakes. (The Blind Boys of Alabama , Alabama, Alabama Shakes.)
The Blind Boys of Alabama Three Dog Night. (The Blind Boys of Alabama, Alabama, Alabama Three, Three Dog Night.)

Mr. Mister Big Country Joe and the Fishbone Thugs-n-Harmo-NY Dolls. (The first page for “Dolls of” band returns Dolls of Disaster, Dolls of Ink, and Dolls of Pain, but that’s really cheating since I’ve never heard of them. And I also don’t feel like stretching for Dollsy Parton)
