> [@cletus](#): > > I love you but I’ve chosen darkness That’s what I wanted to nominate. I’m also partial for: Os Mutantes the Homosexuals the Who (sort of plain in itself, but it’s just so iconic and it looks great in text) ---

Guess they’re real after all - [**“Oedipus and the Motherfuckers - Future Love”**](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ui8-zQh7_Q8) (Blocked at work - is it any good?) > [@cletus](#): > > Oops I should have stipulated in the OP that they have to be real band names. Oh well, I guess it doesn’t matter now. Some of these made up ones crack me up. Oedipus & The Motherfuckers is pure genius. ---

I have a song on my MP3 player which is in French so I don’t understand the lyrics at all. But the band name is the **Shebrews** which always cracks me up so it stays there. ---

> [@An\_Arky](#): > > **Elvis Hitler** also comes to mind… I actually came to post this. Old acquaintance of mine. Detroit has some other great ones: **Thunderbirds are Now The Detroit Cobras 3D Invisibles The Dirtbombs The Almighty Lumberjacks of Death (featuring Jimmy Doom) Art Phag** I’ve always liked New Orleans own **Morning 40 Federation**. For something more mainstream, I always thought **Social Distortion** was a cool name. ---

> [@Mahna\_Mahna](#): > > Is this a budget knock-off no-name version of the **[Yeah Yeah Yeahs](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yeah_Yeah_Yeahs)**?

Not exactly, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs was the name of the band I was thinking of, I don’t know why I typed it out that way - musta’ beena’ brainfart. In other news, the Parker Poseys the Dipshits And Then There Was Nun the Smokin’ Hot Sexy Babes! (they were actually a bunch of beer-bellied grizzled bears.) ---
