Okay, the purpose of this thread is to mangle the names of bands you don’t like. It’s really quite simple. I’ll get things started: Matchbox 20 = Crapbox 20 Savage Garden = Cabbage Garden Limp Bizkit = Limp Wristed (although I obviously can’t take credit for this one) Children of Bodom = Children of Boredom Post others as you think them up!
Bush - er.... Bush EDIT: My friends and I once changed their "Glycerin" song to "Listerine" and wrote entirely new lyrics to it. It came out pretty well and it was a shame we never recorded it.
This game works with entire genres too: Blink41 Sum182 SR-55 Primer71 This is actually the same band with four different names.
I liked Axl & the boys in their previous reincarnation but now... Nuns In Hoses Then there are band names are just too easy to be any fun, i.e. Puddle of Mudd.
A local record store did a whole bunch of these on their website. I've only included the best ones: Grateful Dead Milkmen Fountains of Wayne Newton James Taylor Dayne Steely Dan Fogelberg The The The Who Boy George Clinton & the P-Funk All-Stars Fatboy Slim Whitman Stray Cat Stevens Notorious Bee Gees Alvin & the Thelonious Chipmunks 2 Live Motley Crew Beastie Boyz 2 Men RuPaul McCartney
Motley Crap Metallicrap Or, alternatively, Craptallica. Incidentally, this construction works with just about any band: Crapvana (nothing against Nirvana, I'm just demonstrating here), Crappytown, etc. The Red Hot Chilli Poopers.
Anti-Nowhere Human League Buffalo Tom Springfield Counting Black Cheryl Crows Stone Temple of the Pilot Dogs
Urethra Franklin (Aretha Franklin) Blood Breath and Urine (Blood Sweat and Tears) Bearded Oyster Cult (Blue Oyster Cult) Destiny's Bastard Child (Destiny's Child) Enrique Iglesias (Enrique Iglesias) Eric "Got-The-Clap"-ton (Eric Clapton) Golden Cockring (Golden Earing) Grand ************ Railroad (Grand Funk Railroad) John Lee $5 Hooker (John Lee Hooker) The Pigs (The Police)
During the whole "grunge explosion" in the early 90s, I heard a guy say they could all be summed up the following way: Stone Temple Pearl Dog in Chains
Hey that's pretty good. On a similar note, I heard that Dire Straits are going to form a new band with Chris Rea: yeah, it's gonna be called Chris Straits.
