Mostly Harmless

Anyone remember the reference?

Update: been used.

Second acknowledgement... Speaking of Earth! I love this. Bummer it's been used.

Another fun one is Buttless Chaps. The minute I thought of it, though, I realized I must not be the first and did some Googling. Of course, it's already been used, I expect more than once.

I don't think I'd care to google that...

Yeah, finding the right name is a huge hassle. My last band already had the name “The Honey Badgers” when I joined, but they hadn’t gigged under that name yet.

I had to see where you were from. I've actually heard this band name regionally here! (East TN/SW Virginia)

Naming The Band - The Bobs (From the album: Shut Up and Sing)

My parents were wrong, they named me 'Tree'
It's probably the cruelest thing they ever did to me
I thought a long time about changin' my name
But I found a better way to deal with my shame

My buddies and me, we formed a band
We're gonna be famous, you understand?

We're lookin' for a drummer
Or someone with a van, our hair is getting longer
But the most important thing
Is naming the band, naming the band, naming the band

We studied all the pictures in metal magazine
My Lycra makes me sing real high, my mom thinks it's obscene, yeah
We've got our own equipment and a great rehearsal space
Now, all we need's a heavy name to throw in your face

My buddies and me, we formed a band
We're gonna be famous that's what we've planned

We're still lookin' for a drummer
Or someone with a van, our hair is getting longer
But the most important thing
Is naming the band, naming the band, naming the band

We were gonna call ourselves Elvis, Hitler
But somebody beat us to the punch
Maybe we should be the Butthole Surfers

Or how 'bout Chuck 'n Lunch
Names with meaning and attitude aren't easy to find
So we're hanging out asking each other, "How about?"

We should be writing tunes and learning where to stand
Instead we're spending all our time doing nothing, nothing, nothing
But naming the band, naming the band, naming the band
Band, naming the band

This is so great. I don't know this one, but I've been walking around the house singing "Sign My Snarling Doggy" and "Slow Down Krishna" for two days.

hrodbert--sorry for all the off topic! I also vote Mug Shot xxxx when it comes back around.

I agree with the OP (original proposition)...but if that kind pain gives birth to this kind of fun and humor and creativity (I love wordplay; I'm just that guy...) I declare it worthwhile!
:thumbsup:

I really like The Kin, or just Kin.
I also like Mug Shot Mollie/Mary/Maria/Marigold/Monday.
Carry on!
