Worst band/musician with a name that is pun based on other bands/musicians

there was graffiti near our train station for nearly a decade that just said the velvet underpants haha

Pizza Underground pretty good though

i was gonna check all of these but i've just heard 30 seconds of Wevie Stonder and there's no fucking way anything else in that list is worse

no wevie stonder are good, I will fight you

do they have records that aren't hilarious wacky so random anti-music?

dunno, to be honest I have heard one ep. also that doesn't sound bad.

https://youtu.be/qtZuZZLVx2A this ep

ok i'll assume it's like Ween and they belong to a different kind of enjoyment than i'm familiar with

i mean yeah we all like different things it's all good but that stuff makes my skin crawl

Rinse and the Prevolution

^^ (searches Discogs, breathes sigh of relief)

Reince, surely

where are the Deathray Davies

DAVE: We're thrilled to have the great Neil Peart here for the conclusion of Drum Solo Week. And for the occasion, we whipped up this little something:
Dave holds up a bottle of Neil Peart Plus shampoo.(The audience offers tepid laughter. Off camera we hear an angry Alan Kalter. He is not happy with the audience response.)
ALAN: "Oh, are you kidding me? Come on! What's wrong with you people?!"
DAVE: "Alan, what's the matter with you?"
ALAN: (to the audience): "That's it? That's all you ungrateful bastards can come up with, a charitable little mercy laugh? They brilliantly combined Neil Peart's name with a popular shampoo and conditioner in one! Don't you get it? Mark my words, 'sdd'holes, next time you don't laugh, I'm coming out there and fighting every one of you. (to Dave) Now, Dave, say it again!"
DAVE: "I don't think we need to do the . . .

ALAN:" DO THE DAMN JOKE!"
DAVE: (Dave sheepishly holds up the bottle): "It's Neil Peart Plus"
The audience responds enthusiastically.
ALAN: "That's what I thought . . . idiots."

I always thought Jefferson Airhead was quite a good name

When I was at school we were planning to start a band called 'The Meatles' and our LP would be called 'Beat The Meatles' - luckily we were all multitalentless and none of this ever happened.

22 years after we did it! Though I very much doubt it was an original joke on our part. There isn't even a UK LP called "Meet The Beatles"

I was going to write a sad song called "Why Did We Do It In The Road?"

Does Kunt & the Gang even count as a pun?

Most of those at least have some very weak attempt at a joek in their name, but Wevie Stonder is just so utterly bereft of... anything that I can't even properly express the depths my hatred. Instead, I'll just form a band named Rokey Smobinson.

Riana Doss

Rinnie Miperton. Oh, the hilarity...

Holeatta Lolloway?

Exploring bavid dowie

We couldn't find anything from your original search. Showing search results for based dowie instead.

Stingo Rarr
Mob Barley
Barth Grooks
Gady Laga

Nennis "The Menace" Dilsen

it's weird, most of the fake ones in this thread are making me laugh while most of the real ones make me groan. the difference between a joke and a joke band name, i guess.

Hawking TEDs

I knew we'd done something like this before, a Mark G Special, no less: FINK PLOYD

The Cheese Sauce & Mary Jane

(xp) there are some classics in that thread - and some reproduced here.

Maul Pickartny

Like I'm sure a million other people I assumed Kurt Vile was one of these when I first heard of him

He's not?!

Yeah, was gonna say. He's one of the very few I'd give a pass to cuz he brings it.

Melonious Thunk

There are a couple songs called "Melodious Thunk" or "Melodius Thunk."

Sino Jaw Doon Here

I'm just going to recycle some of mine from the other thread.

Whoah and the Nale
Plastic Bono And
The Strolling Ones
The Bitter Gland
The Bloody Mues
Hogfat
The Incredible Bing Strand
Spurning Bear
Power of Tower
Half Rutter

And a new one:

Toe Mucker

you don't thuck with Thelonious man!

Feel I'm right on the cusp of figuring out a crude + inadvisable alteration of 'Dinosaur Jr.'

lol @ "Hogfat"

a song called Spruce Bingsteen redeems Run DMT, run imo.

another one i loathe is elvis depressedly

"Todd Terje" is quite funny imo

where are the Deathray Davies

all these are good

Bourtney Carnett
Vurt Kyle

they really let the thread down by not calling their collab duo Kurt & Courtney

Like I'm sure a million other people I assumed Kurt Vile was one of these when I first heard of him

you gotta assume his parents knew what they were doing though

Dr. C, you are otm wrt the Mad Magazine comparison. Even as a kid it used to drive me nuts that the altered names in their movie parodies were so completely tossed off. RAIDERS OF THE LOST BLECCH! or whatever. Come on, man, you're getting paid for this shit.

Raiders Of A Lost Art btw

Thames Jailer
Moany Jitchell
Bait Kush

lol I just came back to present Maul Pacartney, Lon Jennon, Stingo Rarr, and Heorge Garrison

basically part of my sense of humor is still operating happily at a first-grade level

should have known:
