Re: Dumpy's Rusty Nuts
Main guy is called Graham "Dumpy" DunnellThe music and look is based around old-school Brit biker culture"Rusty nuts" is a double entendre referencing both poorly maintained motorbike parts and rarely used sexual apparatusHence Dumpy has both a potentially dangerous vehicle AND isn't getting any
So in many ways this is closer to the best rock band name ever, rather than the worst.Hope it all makes sense now!

Saw it on a t-shirt the other day for the millionth time but for some reason it just struck me... DEF LEPPARD is a truly terrible name for a band...

Stunned to realize that neither Umphrey's McGee nor əkoostik hookah have been mentioned yet itt. I consider both band names to be acts of violence.

my friend's wife grew up in Youngstown, OH and years ago, when i had a fb acct, her little brother excitedly wrote on her wall "hey sis! i got us costumes for Shpongle!"
i legit thought that's what they call Halloween in Ohio for months afterwards, until she told me otherwise.

Get Cape Wear Cape Fly
I always liked this name, it reminds me of text adventures.
― emil.y, Tuesday, 23 May 2023 19:10 (one year ago) link
i thought it was an intentional reference! particularly since the name is I think "get cape. wear cape. fly."

Oh yeah, I think it probably is intentional, I just wasn't sure so didn't want to assert it as fact.
― emil.y, Tuesday, 23 May 2023 19:23 (one year ago) link
tbh this reminds me that I've always struggled to come up with an apt comparison to "Car Seat Headrest". It's such a perfectly maximized trio of mundane, arbitrary and clunky. The perfect worst band name ever. Like naming your band Bottom Left Cabinet Hinge or something else from a random page of a product manual.
