That penultimate one on your list actually existed for a brief time. Former Humble Pie drummer and disgraced former WNCX DJ Jerry Shirley put together a group of Cleveland musicians, and under the name “Strolling Bones,” recorded a version of “Gimme Shelter,” with proceeds benefiting local hunger charities. They also did a few live shows for the same purpose.
You may proceed.

I always had a problem with Triangle group Ben Folds Five (Five *What?{/i]) before I found out that the leader was Mrs. Folds’ son Benjamin. And I don’t even want to talk about the Squirrel Nut Zippers!
Polycarp, I was told that “Squirrel Nut Zippers” were candy that was made in the 1940s and 1950s.
Last Summer in Macon, GA, I found a gas station that sold them. I bought a couple of them and tried one, and believed what I was previously told. It tasted like something that is 50 years old should taste. Yuck!
The San Diego, California chapter of MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Drivers) hosted a teen dance and hired a band called Borracho y Loco. If you don’t get it, ask a latino friend.

Now that I’m a middle-aged soul working peripherally in the music biz, it does seem like band names have gotten dumber of late. Barenaked Ladies? Angry Salad? And of course, there are hip-hop names, like Krayzie Bone.
Catrandom (Roxy Music – now that was a name for a band!)
