No Use For a Name
Oysterhead, Godhead, Radiohead, Motorhead, Lemonheads, Buckethead, Portishead, and the Talking Heads.
Yes sometimes a band’s name has some kind of meaning-
I was aware that Foo Fighters was a term used by WW2 fighter pilots for UFO’s - still it is a weird name to pick for a band.
SpazCat, do you or anyone else know how Ben Folds Five got their name? I sure don’t.
Another one of my favorites was The Flying Burito Bothers.
And Mr Blue Sky, that link you posted is a riot !!!
I’ll just list 2 that were hilarious:
The Fred Mertz Experience
Don Knotts Overdrive
IIRC, when Ben Folds (that’s his name) started the band, he had five members. Two left, but he kept the name.
When I found that site, I laughed until tears were gushing out of my eyes. Mrs. Blue Sky thought I’d lost myy mind…again.
