Heh, I totally forgot that my buddy used to play a version of "Love Will Keep Us Together" with bluesy guitar licks, then introduce it as a song by Clapton & Tennille.

Just seen this..

"Formed in 1968, Jazz Sabbath were considered by many to be at the forefront of the new jazz movement coming out of England at the time. The eagerly awaited debut album, scheduled for release on Friday 13th February 1970, was destined never to be released. Until now.

Mark G, Tuesday, 25 February 2020 20:02 (six years ago)

"When Milton was finally released from hospital in September 1970, he found out that a band from Birmingham, conveniently called ‘Black Sabbath’, had since released two albums containing metal versions of what he claims were his songs.

Have we mentioned Thelonious Monster? Do they count? How about the (apocryphal?) story of Tabitha Soren mishearing Bill Clinton and thinking he was a fan of The Loneliest Monk?

Josh in Chicago, Wednesday, 4 March 2020 03:00 (six years ago)

Thelonious Monster may be the ur-text of this naming convention...? Is there another one that predates them?

The Loneliest Monk is an experimental rock duo from Chicago, Illinois USA.

My favorite one is the Dutch band Furtips (= the Four Tops as pronounced by Officer Crabtree from 'Allo, 'Allo)

There was a band called Enormous Richard, which is both a play on Little Richard and another way to say "big dick"

Fleetwood Macrame

Must be a cover band right?

Masonna!

The name is a combination of the Japanese words Maso (マゾ, Masochist) and Onna (女, Woman). It is also a pun on the name of the pop singer Madonna. The name is sometimes rendered as an acronym for Mademoiselle Anne Sanglante Ou Notre Nymphomanie Auréolé (血まみれのアンヌ嬢・若しくは・我等がニンフォマニアが・後光に包まれる) or Mystic Another Selection Of Nurses Naked Anthology.

If by "naming convention" you mean an artist/band name that's a pun on another artist's/band's name, then yeah, Chubby Checker (mentioned several times upthread) predates them by 25 years.

Muswell Hillbilly Elegy (President Keyes), Wednesday, 11 March 2020 10:37 (six years ago)

I was thinking about Count Basie, but his example is more like "following a naming trends started by others" rather than having name that's a pun on one specific artist's name.

Tuomas, Wednesday, 11 March 2020 10:56 (six years ago)

amazed that Tuomas knows who Checky Chubber is
