Wierd band names
« Reply #50 on: 19 Aug 2005, 05:51 »
I would like to join in on the band name / album name / song title competition with this little gem:
Band: The Tony Danza Tapdance Extravaganza
Album: Your Ass Handed To Ya
Song: I Bet Heaven Looks A Lot Like Talledega

Making things even worse, they're not a joke-band, they actually play pretty mean technical hardcore.
And on their self-titled release, they also have the genius song title "Big Pun's not dead because I just saw him at the Krispy Kreme".

As for band names, I think these aren't as weird, but sort of dumb:

for pure irony, these guys released some of the brilliant albums ever, and there is name is the most plain and common surname one can have (sorry to all you Smith's!)

Last Night I Dreamt that Someone Loved Me

Brand New have some gnarly song titles too! OKAY, I Believe You But My Tommy Gun Doesn't! \o/

Raging Speedhorn


I vaguely know some guys from this band (My bands guitarist is also the vocalist of a band whose guitarist has done collaborations with the singer etc. etc.) and, especially given that half of them are also in Viking Skull, they are just generally bent on pretty ridiculous hard rock excesses. They're the nearest thing to a joke nu metal band the world has.

Captured! By Robots (even odder band)


They used to play Moorhead all the time. They're so much fun!

Also, while I don't really have much to add on the band NAMES part (maybe Gorky's Zygotic Mynci...), I'm kind of suprised no one's said anything about Minus the Bear's song titles.

My Top 6 Minus the Bear Song Titles:
Hey, Wanna Throw Up? Get Me Naked
Thanks For the Killer Game of Crisco® Twister
Monkey!!! Knife!!! Fight!!!
Absinthe Party at the Fly Honey Warehouse
I'm Totally Not Down With Rob's Alien
Hey! Is That A Ninja Up There?

just a few quick ones

we have a new album at the station from two ex-murder city devils.  
The new project is called:

TRIUMPH OF LETHARGY SKINNED ALIVE TO DEATH

whoa

also, the olivia tremor control is an insanely idiotic band name, but nonetheless they are one of my all time favorites, WORD.

if you think about it, a Flock of Seagulls was a weird name. It just didn't seem weird because they started out in the 80's.

That's because in the 80's, Poison's hair took up so much room that you could not see the name of the band on the poster nor hear their name spoken. Basically, imagine if the entire planet was covered in insulation material. that's pretty much the 80's.

Right now I'm listening to a split 7".  One side is Chronicle Ape & the New Sound and the other side is Freedom Goose & the New Situationalists.  

I wonder if they paired up because of their identical name structures?

My mum listens to 60's and 70's pop music.
Most of it is pretty normal... But one band that really got me was a 5 piece named after each band members nick-names. It comes out as:

DAVE DEE DOZY BEAKY MICK & TITCH

Sorry for the caps, but I had to search that on google to make sure I had it right. I couldn't stop laughing everytime they said the bands name. I mean LOOK how long it is! I'm not sure if they're popular or anything but WOW.

I can't believe somebody would give their band a name like that. Those names are all morbid violent and obscene at the same time. It feels like they just killed a little piece of my soul.

Playroll.

Not that weird until you consider it's a dutch band and when pronounced it means the same thing to us as 'A Roll Of Toilet Paper' to you.

Other weird dutch bandnames I know of include Scheldgeweld(lit:Cussing Out Violence), and Anaalkabaal(lit: Anal Noise).

Flogging Molly seems kinda weird to be since Molly was my old dogs name.

Someone on another message board once came up with "Johnny Cemetary and the Necrophiliacs" which I thought was pretty cool but I don't think it really exists(so props to Prophet!)
