Bands with stupid names

[Gullet]

Was listening to the radio this morning when they played a song from the early 90s by a band called Prefab Sprout. What a flaming stupid name for a band. Got me thinking about other groups with ridiculous titles, past and present. Some I thought of are:

Shawaddywaddy
Bee Gees
The Buggles
The The
Sigue Sigue Sputnik
Mungo Jerry
Bay City Rollers
Scritti Pollitti
Aztec Camera

There must be loads more to add to the list. Be interesting to see what other people come up with.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band

To be honest 99% of them are stupid. I mean the only logical one I can think of off the top of my head is "Van Halen" coz of their surname.

The stupid ones just roll of the tongue

Flock Of Seagulls
Gay Bikers On Acid
Lesbian Dopeheads On Mopeds
Half Man Half Buscuit
Blamounge (sp?)

I like the group 'dogs die in hot cars'!

 

[Hiney]

The Dead Kennedys

Actually that's a great name

It's also just about the bravest name you could have as a U.S. band. Lot of crazies out there going to take exception. The equivalent over here would be having a band called 'The Queen Mum Smells Of Wee'
