What are some of the best band names that you have heard of? Funny, strange, or downright cool.

My picks:

Liquid Jelly Monkey Love - A local band when I was in college.

Dayglo (sp?) Abortions - A punk bank from the 80's.

Barenaked ladies of course, and then to find out they were men to boot! I just think it's a cool name.

Isn't it Finger 11?

Lynyrd Skynyrd is a weird name (1 of my favorite bands) but they got their name after their gym teacher, Leonard Skinner.

"Knee Deep Shag". Cool name - good, local band.

What about Hoobastank? Where did they get that name, anyway? The Jerry Springer show?

This is too easy for a punk afficionado. How about the Dead Kennedys, or the Dead Milkmen?

Or a good local DC band, New Potato Caboose.

A band from the early 80's that no one here has probably ever heard of "Sniff 'n the Tears". Bonus points for anyone that can name their one hit. Shamed to admit that I still have the 8-track tape......

Was it something like Driving and Crying? No, that can't be in, Driver's Seat? Something with the word driver though, no?

Driver's Seat

What was Scritti Politi's hit?

What was Haircut 100's hit?

Driving and Crying? I forgot, that's me last night after the Sox won the series.

I saw these guys/girls in concert and they rocked! The lead guitarist is a female version of Angus Young (AC/DC).
I think 50 Cent is a weird one. Did he leave it singular because he is just 1 man? Want more real weird names, just look at any rapper.
