Horrible album titles that pun on the artist's name

further sidetrack- that band Joanna Gruesome bugs/mystifies me... is there any other example of a band with a name that's a pun on a contemporary artist?

Off the top of my head, Joanna Newsome & the Ys Street Band.

― :wq (Leee), Tuesday, 24 November 2015 18:24 (ten years ago)

that was just the title of an EP and it was a pun on the artist's own name. i mean a separate band with a name that's a pun on a separate contemporary artist

also 'Swing Around Rosie' which I guess is a pun on 'Ring Around the Rosie'?
