If you could rename any band, what would be a better name?

A brief and mean-spirited detour, if I may.

Some years ago my sister saw a golden oldies tour by KC and the Sunshine Band. Great show that she really liked, but because Harry Casey was going through a heftier stage in his life she suggested it be renamed KFC and the Sunshine Band.

Needless to say I was appalled, especially as she is no anorexic herself.

Not as bad, but I always hated the name Pink Floyd. I’m aware that it’s a combination of the names of two old timey musicians, but it just sounds…goofy…

The only good thing about the name Pink Floyd was it led to a clever Tribute band name - Anderson Council.

From a radio D.J. on The Simpsons:
“That song was ‘The Safety Dance’ by Men Without Hats…currently known as Men Without Jobs!”
