if names are an accurate reflection of a band's talent then Anal Beard are clearly men too consumed by genius to be able to use it in any kind of constructive way.

Problem #1: Psycho? Ah yes, because you are SO FUCKING CRAZY, right? Kooky, quirky, zany fuckwits. Problem #2: Funk. Yes, indeedy, funk. I don't really need to say anything else, do I? Problem #3: Fish? Ah yes, because it's not the most used pseudo- surreal cack-handed way of expressing once more that you are FUCKING CRAZY is it? You need to be fucking institutionalised, do you? You fucking loop-di-looped CUNTS?
*ahem* Excuse me.

This Canonical List of WEIRD Band Names is a riot. Actually all these names are really funny. Terrible and funny.

A swift cdnow search has revealed that there is indeed a band called Barabas and they perform such songs as 'Pulleys Against The Breeze' and 'Come And See My Stamen'. Barabas!

I have alot of friends that play in bands and they all have funny names; to name a few: 69cent burito, 3 chord special, The Buckleys, Death by defection, and 749 damage. Now see these names would be considered crappy by the stupid anoying people that dont understand but to my friends and I they are funny as hell. So what I'm trying to say dont judge the bands name cause they all mean something to someone.

No, it was the nicknames of the two band members.
Some more horrifying names: Ozzfish Experience, A.P.P.L.E. (which stood for something totally pretentious that's completely vanished from my mind--they were a political band), The Spam Grenades.

You could've experienced this, Robbie, had you been in Sydney i9n about 1985. They later became The Wiggles, who are indeed the greatest thing since sliced bread if you're three years old.
