BEST band name you've heard

Here I go (although maybe these are the best-worst band names I've ever heard).

Plaid Habits
Sweat Pant Boners (members went on to greater things)
Wargasm (thrashband, once you hear them it makes sense)
The Police (free advertising)
Gaza Strippers
Brian Jonestown
 
Tool.

Edit: and I'll explain why i think that. They have said that the meaning is that the band is just a tool for them to express themselves. Which is what every band is, yet they have managed to in some ways overtly express that, yet also have the name taken at face value by most. And by some, ridiculed.

Also the irony of wearing a Tool t shirt is rife. "So..you're advertising the fact you're a Tool?' Or what?
