[QUOTE=MagicEyes] How about… **The Pimple Poppin’ Daddies!** [/QUOTE] Bursting onto the scene, practially oozing talent. Their pop music is breaking out among teens all over the nation. Critics suspect their popularity will come to a head with their new hit, “Look in the Mirror and See Me There.” Of all the entries here, this one makes me laugh. ---

[QUOTE=Terminus Est] As I’m posting this, the thread just above this one was entitled “Getting rid of a **deep pimple** ” [bolding mine]. That’s either a really, really good band name or a really terrible one. [/QUOTE] I wonder if Deep Purple would consider that a copyright infringement. ---

**That weird kind of tickly feeling you get in the back of your throat after eating something really crunchy but a little sticky, you know like toast with peanut butter, when the peanut butter gets just a little runny if you put it on before you toast the bread, it feels almost like an itch that you could scratch if you could just move your tongue back the right way but you never seem to be able to reach it, and Fred.** ---

There used to be a Spanish punk rock band called **Maricruz Soriano y los que tocan el piano** ; Maricruz Soriano was in no way affiliated with the band; she was a TV newscaster who happened to have a degree in, you guessed it, piano. One day they were in a car crash and their van was totaled. The technical term for this is **Siniestro Total** , which translated literally would mean “completely nasty”. That’s the name they’ve been working with for the last… ugh… more than 20 years! It certainly is a lot shorter than the first one. ---
