I only got it a few years ago, when I heard it said aloud on some TV show–I felt really stupid, because I’d always said it as “Lips, Incorporated.” But just the other day, I got to feel better about it–after I heard a DJ mispronounce it exactly the same way.
The Trans-Siberian Orchestra
Booth and the Bad Angel ( play on Angelo Badalamenti’s name)
Emergency Third Rail Power Trip (not quite a pun since this is exactly what the signs say)
But the winner for way, way, too clever band name :
The Amazombies - a female punk band
Black Velvet Flag - A group who does lounge covers of punk music (velvet for the covers and black fag being a seminal punk band)
Boris the Sprinkler (based on the Who’s Boris the Spider)
Lunachicks
The Spinatras
I also thought I’d throw in some fake band names from Illuminatus!.
Fillet of Soul
The Gospel According to Marx
The Pubic Heirs
Acapulco Gold-Diggers
Occidental Ox
The Horseless Headsmen
MC Squared
Gorilla Warfare
I Opening
Reddy Willing and Unable
Nothin’ Sirius
