Name That Band
As we all know, the beginning and end of all great musical groups, especially those with radio play, is the name of the musical group itself. Face it, you may or may not have musical talent, but without a great name, there is no future. So, here’s my useless little poll for the week:
Create a band name. Criteria – make it good. Nothing deep or poetically moving. I’m talking marketing here, people! I’ll start with a few:
Skippy Twoshoes and the Naked Sunsets (This one I’m copywriting. It’s a personal fave, and a mark of creative genius, I think.)
Bowel Tonic
Mary Jane’s Drippy Knickers
Nasty Patsy and the Pastywastes
Shit
You’re a Consumer Whore
Taint Scratcher and the Hairy Fingernails
Jesus Thinks You’re a Jerk (that one’s an homage to Zappa)
Disco Still Sucks
Bowling for Pussy
The Dynamic Duo of Monkeyfucker and Assjackyl
Afterbirth
First Album – Choking on the Umbilical Cord
Primer Grey Erection
Fingering Mommie
Syphilis
Girls Gone Mild
Wrestling Earnest Borgnine
Skidmark
In It For The Money
Fuckbag
Jenny Don’t Live Here No More (an all-girl band)
Suckfist
Ken and the Late Term Abortions
***
There you have it. I should also mention here that a few real bands have had some pretty entertaining names, like “And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead.” Also,‘s last band was called “Media Whore”. Interesting that you came up with “You’re a Consumer Whore” on your own.
I made it to Fingering Mommy and had to leave the office before I got fired for convulsively laughing on the floor.
Then I came back and almost lost it again between Wrestling Ernest Borgnine and Fuckbag. I don’t know if I can read any more until I go home.
I always wanted to start a hardcore-hip-hop-industrial band a la Pop Will Eat Itself and combine it with the theatrics of a Gwar show and call it:
Heavy Dump and the Stool Samples
Actually, I think I’m going to repost both of our lists as a poll and let people vote on it. What do you think?
