I thought "Fisheye and the Egyptians" was a pretty good one that Fishy said. My mom is always coming up with crazy band names. I think it's because she is on some drug I don't know about. I thought a good thread would be to post funny band names, either real or just ones you made up.
I always thought "Butthole Surfers" was just a completely ludicrous band name.
Other REAL band names:
These are REAL lebanese bands; Soap Kills are kind of good actually...
Yes, there's a band called Hole with Courtney Love in it, and I don't like Yellowcard or Green Day so there!!!!!11
The only fake band name that I can remember, one of my friends (they exist!?!?!?) came up with: The Long-Distance Rainbows.
And here's some real ones.
back in the days, the name of my hiphopband was Alien Crew.
an existing dj-name worth mentioning: Furry Nipples
on a side note, the thing that catches my eye straight away is this singular point:
not a one of these names exudes any class whatsoever, doesnt even come close.....wtf is up with that?? no self respect?? my how times have changed....
Doc B...
Unfortunately I haven't ripped quite a lot of those and can't remember some of the obscure ones (there was one called "Ali Skaba and the Forty Pounds of Beef" or something along those lines!), but below is a list of some of the wierder band names I've come across.
If you like Ska/punk, you can check out the band I drum for at uni called Kid Chameleon. If you have myspace (curse of the devil!) then you can find us on there with some samples. The singing and guitaring is a bit off, and I was fed up of drumming during that recording of the EP (it was the 4th time we had tried to record it, kept messing up- took 4 solid days before we had anything).
Otherwise I'll try and upload the live video of me playing during a gig, in which I played for Kid Chameleon and a Metallica tribute band called Metallicats (from the inside cover of Garage inc.)
On the topic of names though, Kid Chameleon originated from the computer game.
Another name which is more interesting is the band "Jimmy Eat World". Thier name came from the lead singers brother, who he said was so fat that he could eat the world!
a few names weve been kicking around for the current evolution of the band im in....please comment freely, we need the feedback.... (im hijacking your thread nickel... )
bishop hammer
damned racket
sad gamma
fulcrum
The Slack Method
rib slip
the elders
destroy monday
Doc B...
ps>>> these were all motivated by a damn name generator, and picked apart, put back together, folded, spindled, and pretty much mutilated.... 
Forgive the code, im posting from school on a crappy lap top ? but to the best of my knowledge no one holds a monopoly over anything (unless your talking about Michael Jackson and pop music).
There really wasn?t a comparison, green day is good listening music from the 80s, yellowcard is a 2000 spin on 80s rock. It goes for the same deal with the name of the band (trivial I know, but why not set yourself apart by choosing your own name than copying others).
Just some names to add to the list:
Green Day ? since when are you having a ?green day?? when you get sick from listening to their music too much? Or having ?Good Ridince? played an excessive amount of time in college dorms on the gutar, or their ?Bulavard of Broken Dreams? on the radio every hour?
Blink 182 ? do you blink 182 times a second or something?
Limp Bizkit ? WTF is a limp bizkit?
Flogging Molly (Maybe im mixing this up with a song) ? why does molly need to be flogged?
Linkin Park ? Where is this linking park?
Phish ? great band, but why spell ?fish? like ?phish??
