since I inspired this nutty topic, I also happen to be an expert at generating lunatic band names… my current fave list… SUBWOOFER (that’s mine - [http://www.mp3.com.au/subwoofer](http://www.mp3.com.au/subwoofer) ) FLAT PANDA (fictional… good for a brown funk band, I’m keeping this one tho’) SUMMER BASIL (fictional… good for a soft emo’ rock band) OSTRICH FARM (fictional… another crazy funk band name, think it’d be like “PRIMUS” ) POO CUBE (fictional… DJ name, good for cheesy funked out Fatboy Slim style grooves) EJACULATING BLOOD (thankfully currently fictional… ) a rather disgusting name a friend of mine is ITCHING to use, for his dream ‘industrial-speed-thrash-cartoon-hardcore’ band and… here’s my lists to end all lists… they’re mostly fictional… from wot I know… except “HEROIN SHIEKS” a New York punk band (they e-mailed me…) note: most of these were written as ideas for BAD band names, some coz they’re just crude and silly… some of them may be good… Kenny’s Dead Siamese Nipple Bandits The Smoking Lewinski’s Tastes Like Chicken Polka Insanity Small Cock Wonders Reach For Rectum Roadkill Diana’s Brown Steam Rising Mexican Head Cheese I am the Walnut Decapitated Dion Floating Underpants Political Pervert Flat Goat Sunday Lepers in Lingerie Runaway Trees The Pap Smears Vinyl Frisbee Sonic Fatigue Syndrome Sound of One Hand Clapping Orifice Borrowed Wombat Assholes Anonymous Shot Gun Kurt Herman’s Fantasy Lounge Technicolour Burp Dolphin Chainsaw Revival Pong in Paris Deep Fried Gonads The Toilet Nazi’s Parson’s Nose My Ferret’s Fantasy Laughing Hemorrhoids Pygmy Seven Unidentified Meat One Moist Pancreas Purple Monkey Dishwasher Deviated Septum Prozac in Pyjamas Inflatable Hobo Heroine Sheiks My Mother’s Moustache Bed Sneeze Hamster in Spain Tofu Tai Chi Fallopian Freefall Screaming Igloos Lunch of Laxative Love Hump Where’s the Beef?

I’ve always thought **Your Mom** would be a great band name. “Hey Dave, where are you going?” “To a show.” “Who’s playing?” “Your Mom.” -and hilarity ensues. ---

of course these would be either hard rock, punk or heavy metal band names… **The Suicidal Ponies** **Ankle-biters** **Noize Pirates** **Ill Wills** ---

I’m not sure about a name for a real band, but I’m definitely using **Beer is not a Sex Crime** (from the "I was accused of being a pedophile) as a band name in a story 😉 ---

Here’s another one I thought of overnight: Hamsterette Screen-Killers (the “Hamsterette” part makes it sound like a bubblegum poppish girl group, but the rest of it puts the lie to that assumption… might be liike Kittie) F\_X ---

Years ago, a friend emailed me that her feline had to undergo a series of radiation treatments to cure some sort of cancer. From that topic came the name… “Chemo for Kitty” I now see that it was stupid… but then it made me laugh for days. ---
