Also there was a really funny SNL skit I just remembered from the late 90s; it was a fake commercial for a music soundtrack and most of the names were made up but sounded real. Cracked me up when I saw it. Here's the transcript:

snl transcripts posted:

Music From The Motion Picture Valentine

[ shows a clip from "Valentine" ]

Announcer: He loves me not. It's Valentine's Day. Love hurts.

Music from the motion picture, "Valentine", featuring music from: Nine Inch Nails, The Deftones, Rob Zombie, Exquisite Mammals, T.C., Wheelwright's Ghost, Grab The Jester, Motherboard, Skilled Homicide Harmony, Book, Fall Creek Confederacy, The Frown Squad, Motionless-Z, and Kayak.

Music from the motion picture, "Valentine". Available now, including songs by:
Dirty Yellow Hammer, Donkey Kong U.K., All Your Blood, Bang The Skull Slowly, Hat, Gravel Fork, The Handless Kings, Fiona Apple, Rabbitpunch, Rice, Nuclear Zeitgeist, Pineapple Man, Fool's Cap, and Buzzgum.

Available in stores now, with original songs by:
Brain Gorge, Brian Georg, Pi Eating Contest, Mr. Hameye, Agribuisness, Marvin's Toes, Birmingham Sound Expedition, Stab The Bishop, Cunk, Marilyn Manson, and Infant 714.

Get your Valentine soundtrack today, and hear previously unreleased material by:
Decimal Metaphor, Half of, 5445 North Park Drive Community Vigilence & Restoration Comittee, and CL.

The Valentine Soundtrack. Available in stores now.

edit: it's even funnier because I am looking up the actual soundtrack from the movie and there really are some poo poo band names on there; most notably Snake River Conspiracy and Professional Murder Music; so obviously someone at SNL saw the real soundtrack and then made that skit.

I should have clarified: they do, in fact, own.

quote:

At another particularly wild concert in 1986, Gibby Haynes and and dancer Kathleen Lynch (a.k.a. Kathleen, a.k.a. Ta-Da the poo poo Lady), by now completely bald, reportedly engaged in sexual intercourse while on stage, as guitarist Paul Leary used a screwdriver to vandalize the club's speakers. This came after only five songs, during which time Haynes had started a small fire.

also anything too clever-clever like Dale Earnhardt Junior Junior.

Swervedriver is the best name ever for a band. I've never heard them and I'll probably keep it that way because they probably suck and it'll ruin what I think they sound like.

Jesus Christ, every one of those band names are terrible, especially slowdrive. If you can't even come up with a clever band name, it's safe to assume that you lack the creativity to make decent music.

Here are a couple of bands with number names. None are great, but some are good.

I forgot about 7 Seconds and Mojave 3, I actually heard of those ones, unlike the other number ones.

Yeah, those bands are okay, I suppose.

I'm really liking the Bad Band Name Generator--you have to cycle through a bunch, but some are really funny:

Bad Penis Day
Dogshaped Dildo
Camo Themed Weddings

but I thought they were randomly generated--but I've gotten the exact strings replicated and seen some ones other people have posted, which takes a way a little bit from it.

If that Clap Your Hands... story is true, that's in the top 5 most awful names ever.

7 Mary 3 is a reference from the best TV show of all time, so I respect that. However, their music is terrible.

Maybe the number/ name equation is true after all.
