Oh! Oh! - and my reply in the Redskins thread reminds me of another favorite band names:

I think I still have the t-shirt…

And my friends and great guys to go drinking with: The Electric Amish
Before James Hunter had any success in the States, he played blues on the London pub circuit as Howlin’ Wilf.
Also on the London pub circuit a few years ago, there was a boozy little country/bluegrass outfit who called themselves Banjovi.
I was also once rather partial to Grab Grab The Haddock - but that’s another story.
Monsters on Vacation
Believe it or not that was my band’s name back in the 80’s.

I once met a woman named Daphne Threat Medley, which I thought would make a great… you know.
I do like Sorry About Dresden.
My friends played as ‘Buster Hymen and the Penetrators’ once, many years ago. That’s worth a chuckle. In terms of real bands, I like:
I Love You But I’ve Chosen Darkness
Black Moth Super Rainbow (and related side project Tobacco)
Slowdive

Kinky Friedman and the Texas Jewboys.
REM played a secret gig in a very tiny London venue under the name Bingo Hand Job.
Due to the inspiration from a scolding the guitarist got from the father of some girl whose lawn he got caught driving over, I ended up playing in a band called “The Gutterbums”.
For the last band I was in, I liked the name “Half Fast”, so we could say “We don’t really play fast, but we don’t really play slow either. We play sorta half fast.” The rest of the band didn’t like that. Or “Four Jacks and a Jill”. Those guys had NO sense of humor.
