Yeah, just a little topic to see if we can gather some odd or amusing band names from around the world. Prompted by seeing a few around here lately. The ones I have handy are:
Sh-sh-sh-sh-Shark Attack!!!
The God Damn Doo Wop Band
You Ruined Christmas
Necro Tampon
Ham Sandwich
Anyone have any other names to add to the list?
Ridiculous/funny/confusing band names you've come across?

The very worst band name ever is:

But if you're all about the destination, then take a fucking flight.
We're going nowhere slowly, but we're seeing all the sights.
And we're definitely going to hell, but we'll have all the best stories to tell.
Full of the heavens and time.

For years around here we had both the Funk Junkies and the Junk Monkeys.
I always thought Ace of Base was a stupid name for a bunch of Scandinavian chicks singing pop music.
But my favorite was a little band from PA called Rhymes With Orange.

I like the name, but I think it's funny: Panic! At the Disco.
I like how they have the (!) after Panic. I end up just calling them Panic!. And then I want to put a period after the ! because I don't want it to seem like I'm so excited about talking about them. Woop!

Better Than Ezra. They came up with their mane at a battle of the bands. The announcer asked who they were. They asked who was playing right now and the announcer said it was a band named Ezra. You can guess the rest

Much as I love 'em, Def Leppard is a silly, silly name for a band.

Impotent Seasnakes, a local act back in the '80's. Their bassist went by the name 'Buck Futt'.
