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.
