I was wathing this thing on tv the other day about martial arts in the movies, and it showed a clip from The Manchurian Candidate of Frank Sinatra fighting this Korean guy with a few kung-fu moves. He looked ridiculous, and I mentioned it to my friend. She yelled out “Kung-Fu Sinatra with a vengeance!” I decided then and there if I was to ever have band it will be called Kung Fu Sinatra.
I ran a marathon in L.A. about a year ago. At the finish line there were a lot of people milling about, inlcuding one guy who had apparently neglected to lubricate his nipples. For those you who don’t run for extended periods, sensitive parts of the body, including the nipples, require lubrication to prevent chafing, particularly if you wear a cotton T-shirts. To be short, this guy had a large blood stain over his left nipple. Then it struck me. . .
The Bleeding Nipples would be a great name for a rock band.
Weird - it generated the Bay City Rollers.
The Chainsaw Nuns
Effigies in Jism
The Suicide Bombers (just for the “Tonight Only…” posters)
The Gramophone CD Conversion Kit
Here’s another one from Spoz:
Smells Like Braindamage
And here’s one which I thought of this morning:
Gwei Lo Laap Saap (my brother thinks it would sound best if said in a really crappy Chinese accent… I agree)
F_X
…kinda works, I think.
Madam Insane and the Strap-Ons of Mass Destruction?
The CIA
The Killer Tomatoes
The Threesome (for a four-piece band)
The Valley Girls (for a death metal band, preferably)
The Smelling Salts
The Cabbage Patch Kids
and my personal favourite,
The Faggots (“Do you like The Faggots?” “No, they’re faggots”. “Well, duh!”)
Dave Barry often says something like “The Federal Duck” in his columns, and then comments, “Hey! That would be a good name for a rock band!”

An idea of my own:
Rock Band (or Punk Band…nevermind)
In fact, George R. R. Martin’s novel The Armageddon Rag was all about a band named The Nazgûl.
I haven’t read all of these yet…but… this came to me this morning for no apparent reason: How about the Derrangned Violinists? It just sounds like something Dave Barry would come up with… hee hee…
I just saw “Clever Persistent Apes” over in a GD thread about math. I like that one.
I’ve probably posted this one before, but a conversation while shopping at Safewat about my wife’s laser eye surgery produced this wonderful collision:
Smokin’ Eyeball and the Cocktail Midgets.
I’m keeping that one for if I ever start a band.
As I said elsethread,
Nerdsluts is a great name for a band.
Wait a minute…
The best name for a band:
This is a Good Band Name.
There’s also a Vicotia, BC band caled The Special Guests. 
I first heard of them a few yeara ago… they seem to be doing quite well for themselves.
I don’t know… I’ll have to ask Spoz if he’s ever done with his educational CD-ROM chemistry textbook formatting project.
And in case any of you were wondering, you can find the meaning of “Gwei Lo Laap Saap” here.
F_X
Proving once again that I don’t know how to type with much accuracy when I’ve not eaten yet…
That URL hyperlink was supposed to read a Victoria, BC band and the words right after that were supposed to read “a few years ago…”
Oh, and Avalonian? I just asked Spoz about the “Tangerine Dream” question; the answer would be that “The Tangerine Fuckheads” has absolutely nothing to do with “Tangerine Dream” since he has NO idea what “Tangerine Dream” is. (neither do I) So what is “Tangerine Dream?”
F_X
Didn’t Tangerine Dream do “Horse With No Name?”
Hmm…
Gwei Lo is Cantonese term meaning spook, basically a white person.
Tangerine Dream were an obscure 1970s band. Ask your dad about them (I did).
My band name submission:
“Lesbian Bed Death”.
Here are a couple:
- The Flaccids
-The Taoist Cowboys
two awful puns…
