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.

Got a demo tape by them back in the early '90s, though I can't remember a thing about it.

Lots and lots of metal bands with "gloomy" pseudo-Latin or otherwise "poetic" names (Altaria, Apocalyptica, Solitude Aeternus, On Thorns I Lay, Stratovarius, Dark Tranquility etc.).

Now don't you even try to claim that "Turbojugend" doesn't bring to your mind any connotations towards a certain Fascist regime and it's youth organization. "Jugend" is a perfectly normal German word, yes, but naming a fan organization "xxxx-Jugend" and making badges which bear that name is hardly innocent.
