Psych bands should arguably be excluded from the thread as I think the intention of the cornball titles was meaningfully different - but still:

Stuff - Stuff It!

moans and feedback (Dinsdale), Monday, 25 May 2015 17:12 (eight years ago) link

dunno why but i have this feeling Stuff are probably better than most of the bands in this thread, can anyone confirm?

(to wit, have been listening to and enjoying Lighthouse's One Fine Morning, the dollar purchase of which prompted the above posts. it's not bad if you're in the mood for some very optimistic and kinda corny/borderline bubblegum sentiment from your psych-ish rock bands. title track is solid, and there's a great dumb melodramatic number about families on the california gold rush.)

Doctor Casino, Monday, 25 May 2015 17:21 (eight years ago) link

Kinda liking the Stuff It! cover - the frazzled hair, the way her white shorts make her top half look disembodied, the fact that "Stuff" in concentric circles is apparently their logo.

Krokodil's keyboardist Hardy Hepp cleaned up nicely for his solo career:

their drummer called himself Düde Dürst:

('Hahn' and 'Huhn' are German for 'Chicken' and 'Rooster', so the full title is Hepp - Chicken & Rooster: alive and good night)

(or Hen and Cock, if you wish)

wauw! what is the title of the second one? can't figure out the second word

I made sure to give the title for that very reason!

those are both ace

oh i didn't see that! not 'wank' after all

sonz of a croup da croupier (NickB), Monday, 8 June 2015 16:47 (eight years ago) link

Adding the exclamation point to Boys Will Be Boys! just makes it so much worse, for some reason.

Absolutely

I really shouldn't drink hot coffee while reading this thread.

<doug watson goes to conference room, sees it's a forgettable 1970s band named Hot Coffee, promoting their album "...With Extra Cream!?">

doug watson: Noooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!

Herbie Flowers - A Little Potty

Is there supposed to be some kind of a pun here, based on the adjective and noun meaning of "potty"? Shouldn't the guy be sitting on a potty then?

Tuomas, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 13:31 (eight years ago) link

I thought "potty" meant "quirky" in English-as-spoken-in-England.

the top man in the language department (誤訳侮辱), Tuesday, 9 June 2015 13:35 (eight years ago) link

Maybe it's like, a little party, hence him being shrunk to mushroom size, but Herbie is also a little potty?

Doctor Casino, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 13:36 (eight years ago) link

Ah, okay, I get it.

Tuomas, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 13:39 (eight years ago) link

That's a little awful.

Tuomas, Tuesday, 9 June 2015 13:40 (eight years ago) link

Maybe it's like, a little party, hence him being shrunk to mushroom size

i'm dubious about that. maybe there's a herb/pot joke going on there though

Doesn't explain why he's dressed as Noddy.

a title so good that Men at Work nabbed it for one of their tunes

I would actually be stoked to get some of these records though!

Doctor Casino, Wednesday, 10 June 2015 03:44 (eight years ago) link

At the very least, they'd make for a fantastic display rack

'shazam' kind of the sore thumb of that list, thought it's pretty well regarded? (nb. i know nothing about the move's profile level in the us)

would not be surprised if the bs&t has already made an appearance, but...

wife's dad moved out of his house into condo and i got a box of (mostly terrible) records but this one is pretty good and is close to the platonic ideal of this thread

Wow... that is... I'm speechless... they don't come much better...

I've sort of specialized in abysmal UK nonentities of the 70s on this thread but I think I might have run out of them :( someone prove me wrong please.

lol at the making a name for myself cover... dog looks super embarrassed. A+

Oh Tom I thought you'd found an inexhaustible motherlode of abysmal UK nonentities, don't say the supply has ended.

Tim, Friday, 19 June 2015 21:32 (eight years ago) link

Yeah, Making A Name For Myself is so good that it seems anticlimactic to post this one (don't think it's been done yet?)

'Hard Labor' by Three Dog Night

The title and basic concept make it seem like something that should fit here, but it comes out a little too disturbing and ends up looking more like it should Devo album cover or something? apparently this version was quickly pulled in favour of a censored edition with a large sticking plaster over the centre of the image
