I was just about to get some work done, but then iTunes reminded me that there was a new My Top Five podcast, which then reminded me to check out the blog. So thank you, My Top Five, for extending my dossing just a little bit longer.
Bands I like with funny names….let’s see.
1. Kitchen’s of Distinction
2. The Psychedelic Furs
Pretty in Pink, anyone?
3. Ned’s Atomic Dustbin
First band I ever saw live, incidentally, and they opened for…
4. Jesus Jones
5. The Afghan Whigs
6. Fountains of Wayne
The thing that makes this funny is that the name comes from a store that sells fountains and other garden accessories in the town of Wayne, New Jersey. And it just so happens that when I was a kid, went there a few times with my parents to buy garden furniture. Ah, such memories.
7. Toad the Wet Sprocket
OK, now I can get back to work!
Mister Mister
Fountains of Wayne
The B Sharps
Limp Bizkit
The The (I think that was a band name)
i find this tough and have to think some more…. but for a list of all names silly go to http://sam.hochberg.com/bandname.html
has great names including ‘Bobby Joe Ebola and the Children MacNuggits’, ‘Bordering on Retarded’ and ‘Colostomy Grab Bag’…. Hmmmmmm
This is a really tough one!
My Morning Jacket
Band Of Horses
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
The Mountain Goats
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Buck 65
Counting Crows
Clap you hands say yeah
daft punk
psapp
radiohead
….. the more you think about bands names the sillier they get…
* Get cape, wear cape, fly (can’t believe no one has mentioned this already!)
* Bat for Lashes
* Sultans of Ping FC
* The War Lords of Pez
* God Speed you Black Emporor
* They Might be Giants
And what I think is the best name for a band ever…..
* And You Shall Know Us by the Trail of Dead
(any band name that starts with ‘And’ has to be in there)
5. Yazoo
4. ABCD ( ACDC tribute band which would probably best actually fit into a stupidly brilliant category)
3. Chubby Checker (50s artist named to draw in Fats Domino fans, which is very silly)
2. We Smoke Cigarettes
1. The Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band
This is my first post, so wahey!
also, The The is an outstandingly silly name.
Hope I make it on time!
