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

Panic Meat Stretchers

there is a takeaway restaurant in Wales called Manic Street Pizzas which when I first heard of it made me laugh a lot. 'Bakeries gave us flour / Then spelt made it gluten free'

there's a local band here called Dismembering the Carcass and I want to beat them with their own shoes until funny colored shit comes out their nose

Bee Gee Allin

If that’s for real, then yeah

There's an EDM DJ (LA based, I assume) called Fleetwood Smack.

And Martin Mull's "blues" song was by Blind Lemon Pledge.

(For the non-USers, Pledge is a furniture polish, that comes in a lemon scented version.)

worked with someone who was in a band called Pill Collins

(xp) Yes, we have that over here.

*sigh*

that's a genuinely cool Om Unit side project that remixes old jungle tunes in a footwork style. I rate it

yeah i really like PDK

plus unlike a lot of these, it's a pretty good pun

TS: Wevie Stonder vs. Jichael Mackson

jichael mackson had some ok bobbins

dibs on bolar pear

that's a legit typo i made because i'm drunk and i don't sleep anymore

oh how about beat pest

that's a clever one

let's see, according to discogs beat pest exists and they're finnish

Ina Garden Nachtmusik

Smelliott Ith

Is there a band called Teh Teh or Duh Duh yet?

Timothy Eerie

How quickly we have forgotten Gnarls Barkley.

Why am I not getting that Buckcherry is a pun on somebody else's name?

It’s a Spoonerism

Think Huddy Bolly

I prefer datsfomino and rittlelichard

Bion and the Delmonts

Kill Baley & the Homets

Amazing - I never got that!

I guess it's actually pretty good, now that I think about it.

I don't agree but dsfdf

Lary Gewis and the Bayploys

thing about these bands is, they all had to (probably still have to) go around telling all their friends and family and peers what the name of their new band was, and they stuck to their guns. for which they get some grudging respect from me

henry cow is technically one of these bands (they lied about their name) but they're too good for the rest of these jokers - I assume, having heard of none of them before this poll

What is Henry Cow a pun of?

Henry Cowell?

yes - band denies it but they're full of shit

Chuck Bear

They deny it? I hate that

Hurl Maggard

Moni Jitchell

Boy Harsher, a riff on Roy Harper do we reckon?

i certainly hope not

I wonder what the first example of this was? The first I remember was Jefferson Airhead, who had to change their name to Airhead when Grace Slick & co threatened to sue.

John Cougar Concentration Camp got booked unheard in Bloomington at Rhinos back in the day.

Fleddy Melculy, Belgian metal band

I wonder what the first example of this was?

Chubby Checker

I imagine there were pre-rock and roll examples.

“Count” Basie was a play on Duke Ellington and Earl Hines.

Interestingly. Blossom Dearie (who I knew about) postdates Blossom Seeley (who I didn't) by 30 years.

this is a really good record, by the way. put out by pals of mine on a pal's record label. #westernmassaction
