As you all know, today bands get funny names. No more the simple "Beatles", "Queen', "A-Ha", "Metallica" and similar ones. Today you get more sophisticated (or simply longer and harder to say) names. For instance, Evanescence - what's the name for?
Now come the good names. Post as many funny ones as you can:
1) If Pigs Could Fly (Talk?) Would You Still Eat Them?
Note: I'm Jewish.
2) HIV and the Positives

I heard a nice name for a yacht that was obviously bought with illegal money, it was called FishKiss.

In the '60s, there was a band called "Strawberry Alarm Clock". Beat that, you modern indie whiners! Posts: 1814 | Registered: Jul 2004

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but a song xisted in the 60s: "Yackety yack, blah blah blah blah; yackety yack, blah blah blah blah. That's all I hear from you: Yackety yack, blah blah blah blah..."
Band, name of song?

In my high school, I seem to remember there briefly existed a band called the Breast Strokers. They tried to get around the disapproval of the administration by claiming it was a swimming reference, but it didn't work.

In high school, I had a friend who really wanted to start a band called Kick Axe. He was heartbroken when we were looking in the $1 bin at a store and found the tape of band already called that.

I always wanted to start an Irish music band called "Drunker Than You," so we could come out on stage and say, "Good evening, we're Drunker Than You."

A great one I heard recently is Scary Kids Scaring Kids. I haven't heard their music yet but I need to listen to them just based on that name.

well i like the band "no use for a name" i think the name "death cab for cutie" is a pretty entertaining band name too, although they're great.

I like "HaDag Nachash," which translates to "The Fish Snake," or "The Fish is a Snake." I never understood that one... Posts: 7877 | Registered: Feb 2003

"HaDag Nachash" should actually be "Dag HaNachash", according to proper Hebrew; not that anyone cares these days. The translation would be: The Serpent's Fish. But I never liked rap. It has a silent "c"...

My roomate's brother is in a band that was formerly known as Therapist Off. Now, they're the Rodents Of Unusual Size.
I have a friend named Scott Frisby, and I kept trying to get him to name his backup band The Rats of NIMH. Actually, I think I'm so good at this, I'm going to go into band name consulting. My own personal creations:
Bobo and the Bourgeoisie Phospholipid Bilayer Elysian Sandbox Schrödinger's Catapult

My list above is real band names. Some of them you'll recognise. Some of them I've looked up. I haven't looked up all of them, but I haven't found one yet that isn't real.

You mean Yakety Yak, Don't Talk Back by the The Coasters? Jonathan?
FG
edit: and P.S., that was the 50's, not the 60's, for that group. Yakety Yak was #1 in 1958
