Ask Lemmy

I keep a list of interesting results from word generators used by malspam operators to pad spam they send out (to make them look legitimate). A selection:

• Moonlight Extremity
• Fat New Smallness
• Worthy Horses
• Few Gay Sirs
• Death Weeks Early
• Carriage My Position
• Extremity Acuteness Direction

The name for my imaginary band is: The Cuban Sandwich Crisis

But I've also got a list of names as I come up with them.

Favorite already taken band name: Youth in Asia

Toad The Wet Sprocket, of course!

"Rex Stardust, lead electric triangle with Toad The Wet Sprocket, has had to have an elbow removed following their recent successful worldwide tour of Finland. Flamboyant, ambidextrous Rex apparently fell off the back of a motorcycle. "Fell off the back of a motorcyclist, most likely," quipped ace drummer Jumbo McClooney on hearing of the accident. Plans are already afoot for a major tour of Iceland.

"Divorced after only eight minutes, popular television singing star Charisma changed her mind on the way out of the registry office, when she realised she'd married one of the Donkeys by mistake. The evening before, in LA's glittering night spot The Abbatoir, she'd proposed to drummer Reg Abbott of Blind Drunk, after a whirlwind romance and a knee-trembler. But when the hangover lifted, it was Keith Sly of the Donkeys who was on her arm in the registry office. Keith, who was too ill to notice, remained unsteady during the short ceremony and, when asked to exchange vows, began to recite names and addresses of people who also used the stuff. Charisma spotted the error as Keith was being carried into the wedding ambulance, and became emotionally upset. However, the mistake was soon cleared up, and she stayed long enough to consummate their divorce.

"Dead Monkeys are to split up again, according to their manager Lefty Goldblatt. They've been in the business now ten years, nine as other groups. Originally the Dead Salmon, they became, for a while, Trout, then Fried Trout, then Poached Trout In A White Wine Sauce, and finally, Herring. Splitting up for nearly a month, they reformed as Red Herring, which became Dead Herring for a while, and then Dead Loss, which reflected the current state of the group. Splitting up again to get their heads together, they reformed a fortnight later as Heads Together, a tight little name which lasted them through a difficult period when their drummer was suspected of suffering from death. It turned out to be only a rumour, and they became Dead Together, then Dead Gear, which led to Dead Donkeys, Lead Donkeys, and the inevitable splitup. After nearly ten days, they reformed again as Sole Meunière, then Dead Sole, Rock Cod, Turbot, Haddock, White Bait, the Plaices, Fish, Bream, Mackerel, Salmon, Poached Salmon, Poached Salmon in a White Wine Sauce, Salmon Meunière, and Helen Shapiro. This last name, their favourite, had to be dropped following an injunction, and they split up again. When they reformed after a record-breaking two days, they ditched the fishy references and became Dead Monkeys, a name which they stuck with for the rest of their careers. Now, a fortnight later, they've finally split up."

Real fake band, like Spinal Tap, The Monkees, and Samurai, or an imaginary fake band like when you just hear a combination of words and think "that would make a great band name?" 🤔

If the latter: The Cool Side of the Pillow (which could possibly even be a real band)

Freckle Bitch’s in the video game Saints Row. It is a spoof on Wendy’s. Very inappropriate but that was the theme of the game.

Always fond of "The American Medical Association" from The Illuminatus! Trilogy

and

"The Band with Rocks In" from Discworld

The Exits

This may sound pretty normo, but Spinal Tap is a very funny faux metal band name.

I also liked Mouserat from Parks.

When it comes to fake band names Im a basic bitch it would seem

"Ghostwolves"

"The Ghost Wolves? That sounds dumb."

"No 'the'. Just 'Ghostwolves'."

Pixar's "Buy n' Large" and "Allinol" are pretty clever.

The Shanty Swing Band

One drunken night in a tiki bar, a bunch of my friends cooked up this idea for a band that was entirely too crazy to ever work, especially with our musical and organizational skills.

The idea was for it to be sort of a folk-metal/jazz fusion thing that played sea shanties.

I feel like it's also worth mentioning that this idea came about well before COVID when sea shanties had a little moment.

I think by the time we all sobered up the next day we realized it wasn't going to work, but we sure as hell left the bar that night thinking we were onto something.

Part of the concept also involved a "gun player" who would fire off some blanks from a flintlock pistol, sort of like a budget-friendly 1812 overture because something something pirates.

Regardless of the actual feasibility of this project, I still really dig the name.
