I've always wanted to form a band just so I could give it a cool name. Anyone else have ideas for cool fantasy band names?
My list includes:
One of the best I've heard (actual local band, now defunct) was The Ice Cream Socialists.
If I had even less tact than the tiny modicum I actually have, I would name my band the Back-Alley Abortionists.
B-i-l has been in two bands: Daddy Know it All and Iron Cherry.
I ain't real good at coming up with cool band names.
Sock Puppet Army.
Che Stadium.
See if you can find a song by The Bobs called "Naming The Band". It's hilarious.
My "Rock-Band" band is named "SCR0TAL ATROPH33." God, I'm a berkeleying dork. I was in a few bands back in the day. Blindside, The Next Crisis (plural...like cry-seees,) The Government Cheese Funk All-Stars, and Triple 6.
dislessic bob : I always thought it would be a great punk band name
I'm always surprised by how few people know what "Piso Mojado" means.
The first album for that band would have to be called "Cuidado".
Also, "Caution Man" or "The Adventures of Caution Man" would be a good band. You could have all the paraphernalia be images of horrible things happening to a stick figure guy. My favorite "Caution" image was on the attachments we had for the back of our little tractor; they all showed a guy wrapped around a drive shaft.

(lol, more funny names than anything else)

"Wet Floor..." and no, I didn't have to look it up. I walked around screaming that, as well as "Te gustaria carema con tu cafe!!??!?" for a while there.

Right. And you see it everywhere. Which is why I'm surprised when people don't know what it means.
"You want cream in your coffee"?
Actually, the person who came up with those "spanish" wet floor signs didn't know ANY spanish.
Piso Mojado actually implies that the Whole floor is wet, as in first floor, second floor.
Suelo Mojado is more appropriate, as in, the floor you are standing upon is wet.
(yes, I am a linguistics nerd)
and creme is not "carema", it is crema.
oh, and my band name would be
LIMOZEEN!
S'okay. I once got irritated with a translation service our company used. Even though I don't know much Spanish, I understand how Grammar works, and wanted to smack them upside the head for not understanding communication basics. They took an announcement and translated everything into PASSIVE VOICE! ARRGH!
No, I don't know the vocabulary to translate this myself. But I understand enough to know that you did a really sloppy job.
The fact that "Piso Mojado" is bad Spanish makes it even funnier for a band name.

What about TARANCHULA!

Why do you hate America?
These have been rolling around in my head for years, so they may already exist somewhere else:
-Shinola
-Toxic Sock and the Syndromes.

I thought you'd spelled it wrong. Is "carema" even a word?
Saw this one on Fark:
Mongolian Death Worm
Apocalypse Pants.
It's my Rock Band band's name.
Yeah..I play fake instruments. So what?

Stupid Sunfire
Dirty Track Slut
Crystal Princess
White Mystic Turtle
Miss Turbo
