Funniest name for a band you've heard?

Throbbing Gristle is pretty good. And there were a couple of local bands with good names: Little Stubbie and the Dissapointments and Mickey's Pulsating Unit.

Local OC band

It's real.

a band from a few years back in k.c. one that came through here was 'gay bikers on acid' which i thought was memorable.

Local group in the 80's in West Lafayette, IN (Purdue U.)

They rocked, btw . . .

The Oklahomos

i kid you not. finger 11 was once named rainbow buttmonkey

-LK

The "A" stands for anal. The "C" stands for something I don't think we're allowed to say on DU. About half their songs were in the format: "<someone> is gay" or "You <did something>; you're gay."

There was also a suburban Chicago band called Killer Kitchen Utensils.

my favorite song of theirs is "your kid is deformed" comming in second would be, "your kid committed suicide because you suck".
When I first heard them I thought it was a joke or something. It's pretty funny if you just take it with a grain of salt.

"Homosexuals Are Gay." You can hardly argue the point...

It was awful.

a garage band from the 60's

...the band with appeal....

an SF band from the '80's. and you know what? they were.

I'll come up with more when this game is over and my blood pressure has returned to normal.

it may not sound funny, but watch people do a double take at a flyer stapled to a telephone pole...

The name was suggested as a joke by Dick Clark. And they used his suggestion.

they were pretty good, one of the early techno groups.

oh and also

Big Balls and the Great White Idiot

Of course I'm biased since he's a friend of mine! }(

I've got a downloaded "sampler" of their music and it's great.What's their best cd?

It's kinda boring in print, but I'll bet the radio ads were great: "Tonight at the Roxy, Sex and Free Beer!"

They were a local band in the Hartford, Connecticut area during the 1980s. I still can't think of their name without laughing!

...or NoOne and the Nobodies

:)

I have a friend who used to be in a number of outlandishly-named bands, and we *both* listened to Jello Biafra's famous "Names for Bands" sketch and took it seriously. So, may I present Interrobang's List of Funniest Band Names Ever:

The Summertime Daisies (only funny if you know they played death metal)
Buck Satan and the Six-Six-Six-Shooters
Tijuana Crackwhore (local band)
The Panty Daddies (local band)
Creeps on Candy
Combustible Edison (nouveau lounge band)
The Groovie Ghoulies
10 000 Homo DJs
The Christal Methodists
Zuul's Evil Disco
The Bran Flakes

...all genuine current or former bands! :)

My friend's band was called the Wild Simoan Gangsta Tribe, but that's really more insane than funny.

Or maybe "Drowning, Not Waving".

I used to be such a Dr. Demento Fanboy...

...but I laughed my ass off when I heard about a band called John Cougar Concentration Camp!

Phil Dirt & the Dozers
Uncle Knucklefunk (say that 3x fast!)
the Mighty, Meaty Swing Kings.


My all time favorite is Toad the Wet Sprocket

....

That was the name of a Ska-punkinsh band that my friends started in high school. I always figured that it was an atom that negated the existence of your pants...

Are two that I forgot about.

"The Chocolate Covered Orange Crates"

Ozric Tentacle
Lubricated Goat...

Local bar band in DC.
