The Daily Feud: Band Name! by Hockey Monkey [Closed]

Nevermind.

Thanks, 3acres, that makes sense. (I’d forgotten my answer for #3 and thought that was another unique.)

Cool beans, my second top ten placing and the first was yesterdays! :smiley:

Yay, I’m number…50??? Aw, man. Even worse, most of the #1 answers never would have occurred to me. :smack:

Technically speaking, neither AC/DC or KISS are acronyms. The notion that the names stand for Anti-Christ Devil Children and Knights In Satan’s Shadow is an urban legend.

I heard Knights in Satanic Service. As I noted in my pick, I know it’s really not an acronym but I was banking on some people not knowing it. :slight_smile:

I’m surprised The Monkees are the first animal band that comes to mind. The Beatles were definitely the first for me, although I wasn’t sure if the misspelling would hurt until I saw the insect/arachnid one, and I knew Beatles would be top dog there. Then Cat Power drowned out every other animal band in my head (I mentally went through random animals, even eagles, and I couldn’t think of any other bands).

My 3 finishes so far are #47, #25, and now #33. I rock!

Yay, 11th place! That’s a personal best.

The urban legend about their name notwithstanding, AC/DC is still an acronym for Alternating Current/Direct Current.

Thank you! That’s just what I was about to say.

Also, twicks, I think “Bee Gees” was short for “Brothers Gibb.”

I never really thought about KISS’s name before. I somehow knew it wasn’t an acronym (a special interest of mine), but I wonder, are they the only band to have a name that’s a noun or other regular word, but always in all-caps? You never see it written “Kiss.”

I’ll take 2nd after my last seveal hideous showings

I know it was. I knew the answer wasn’t going to do any good but it amused me.

  1. The Band
  2. The Monkeys
  3. Cream
  4. Whitesnake *
  5. Maroon 5
  6. Maroon 5
  7. KISS
  8. Cream
  9. The name of a band with a body part in the name.
  10. KISS
  • I know it’s not a bug - I just can’t think of one.

I have 3 sets of matching answers. Extra credit? (smile)

So nobody noticed that I put “Nine Inch Nails” in the food question? Or were you all too polite to notice or you are all tough enough to eat nails?

Was I right or was I right!?!?
