Let's make fun of band names.

Yeah, today’s band names are so strange. Why can’t we go back to the days of Strawberry Alarm Clock?

This sounds like fun…

Yep
The Dairy Chompin’ Pappies
The Mighty Mighty Mousetones

Hahahahahahahahaha - Where do we begin?

Happy New Year Everyone.

An all-girl beach band toured the Jersey Shore in the early 80s under the monicker:

Cum Of My Dead Boyfriend

Cute, smug, but MrKnowItAll is the only one so far to truly “get” the purpose of this thread.

Blah Coke Arkansas
Hurt
Bankrupt Company

[list][li]The Beagles (Beatles or Eagles)[/li][li]The Artist Currently Known as Pretentious[/li][li]Blowie and the Hootfish[/li][li]The BeeJays (BeeGees)[/li][li]Shania Pain[/li]

Everybody got to elevate from the norm - Rush

Hmmmmm - You mean like…

Tom Sweaty and the Fartbreakers?
The Rolling Groans?
Hurl Jam?

(I laughed at “Stynx” - good one!)

There’s a band from Ontario called Finger 11 which used to be called the Rainbow Butt Monkeys.


``Beware of elaborate telescopic meat; it will find its way back to the forest.’’
– William S. Burroughs, Tom Waits

One of my faves is The The.

A buddy of mine once had a lot of problems ordering tickets over the phone for their concert. I think he was drunk when he was doing it, too, making the humor a bit more apparent.

Shiny Dwayne
Blows Stringbeans
Cretin Beerbottles with Rifles
The Blah Growths
Bedspread Manic

Well, I’m sure I’ll come up with better ones…Thanks, TennH…this is just the type of thing my feeble mind will obsess with for days. SIGH…

Real band names that I remember from mid-'80s Lawrence, Kansas:

The Worthless Pukes
Truck Stop Love
The Exploding Rodents
Drunk Ass
The Klusterfux
Shup Bish
Dashboard Buddha
BOFI (stood for “Bunch of Fucking Initials”)
The Moving Van Goghs
The Flourescent Condoms
The Spam Skinners
Near Death Experience
Mopar Funeral
Rock Hudson’s Army
Slackjaw
Kill Whitey

The only joke I remember appearing overnight, though way off the subject: In 1985 or 1986 a car carrying four sorority girls was hit by a train outside of Lawrence on the way to a barn dance. The four girls were killed. The next morning this joke was all over campus:

Q. How many sorority girls does it take to stop a train?

A. More than four.
