Off the wall band names

Dude and Ron and Me (you have to say it fast and have at least a little biblical knowledge)
Moonlight Big Daddy Nuts and a Bunch of Guys Named Moe
Larry Darryl Darryl
All names that bands I have been in have considered, if only for the time that the initial giggle wore off.

Back in my undergrad days, I had a roommate that always talked about starting a band called Abraham Loncoln and the Pitchfork Abortion Orchestra. It sounds horrifying, but it certainly does roll off the tongue well.
That's a blast from the past.
A long time ago, I was playing in one of our regular-rotation Honky-Tonks (that's an old generic term for a smoky Country/Western Dance Hall, for those who may not know), back when I was a tender twenty-something, and our frontman/lead-singer had his fiancee's parents in the audience for their first-ever excursion to see what their future son-in-law did for a living. (Fiancee was a total Baby-Doll and a prim-and-proper woman from a Northeast US Blue-Blood family)...
Song Requests were fairly routinely passed to the stage as hand written notes on napkins or such, and they were funneled to previously mentioned Frontman (he was a really good guy).
Some trickster in the audience sent up a dozen-or-so notes requesting for us to play "My Dixie Wrecked".
Well.. He ignored it as long as he could, and then finally, in frustration, on mic, he told the whole house: "Buddy, I don't know My Dixie Wrecked, the band doesn't know My Dixie Wrecked, I don't think I've ever heard My Dixie Wrecked...
He "got" the joke a couple seconds later.
I actually kept the old band-room cork-board that one of the notes got pinned to, as a momento of a funny night...

I actually had to read that through three times before I got the joke...
We've Got A Fuzzbox And We're Gonna Use It! who are probably best remembered for "Love Is The Slug".
Also, the sci-fi movie band Vicious Lips.

And to think I'd never heard of them until they were mentioned in a TB thread as a band with a silly name.
