Band Name Synonym Game!!!!!

That, my friends, was a BIG FAT HINT!

Okay, no more. I’ve restrained myself, but this might be overkill. I’ve tried to stick to the ones that people might actually get. I was tempted to incluce some pretty damn obscure acts (I wanted to include “Domicile=A house”, but thought better of it.), but a lot of these I’m surprised haven’t come up yet.

I don’t expect anybody to get the “Slightly more than…” group. Consider it extra credit. I’m also not so sure I got “Definitive Definitive” correct; grammar was never my strong suit. Hmm. “Excessive Happiness” might be a little hard to parse out too…

Oh, and I believe “neon fetus” is “day-glo abortions”.

Party Drug = XTC
The Iron Workers = The Smiths
Animal companion store lads = Pet Shop Boys
Sleeping ocular motion = REM
Mexican image capturer = Aztec Camera
William Boast = Billy Bragg
Domicile at over-capacity = Crowded House
Nymph and the rabbitguys = Echo and the Bunnymen
Mother of God = Madonna
Fresh Queue = New Order
King’s Wife = Queen
Native American and the Irish Spirits = Siouxsie and the Banshees?
Middle of the Night Petrol = Midnight Oil
Presley Lou = Elvis Costello (I almost did this one earlier)
All I had time for right now… :slight_smile:

The Darned = The Damned
The Iron Workers = The Smiths
Very bad cow disease that humans need to be vaccinated against = Anthrax - but I thought this was sheep?
Mexican image capturer = Aztec Camera
Humungous Assault = GBH (Greivous Bodily Harm)
Great White Whale =Moby
Throttlers = Beaters
Definitive definitive = The The

How come nobody got that one before? It should be obvious!
:rollseyes:

I’ve completely lost track of what’s left unanswered so I’ll just pose a few new ones.

To make things harder, these all refer only to the band part of Person & Band groups (like my “HRH and the Turnaround” earlier, but without the “HRH”). To get full credit, you have to give the full band name, with the individual.

The [person] Thing to be Lived Through
[person] and Twice as Difficult
[person] and The English Sportscars

Not fair. You’re two hours more awake than I.

And here I was thinking you hadn’t noticed!

Please, please, please answer some of these. The list is getting way too big. :smiley:

DMC… I’m thinking maybe YOUR turn to answer them. :slight_smile:

Supersonic Stealthy Blackbird = SR-71

McNabb, Autry, and Akers - Eagles

Here’s one more that is an oldie - familiar Lester, apostle, and virgin model T

As for the others, I’m stumped :slight_smile:

familiar Lester, apostle, and virgin model T = Les Paul and Mary Ford
