    He changes his name from Puff Daddy to P. Diddy & as of last month he is known only as Diddy.
    What’s next? Poof??? LOL
    His real name is Sean Jean Combs.

    The other one that comes to mind is Prince who changes his name to The Artist Formerly Known As Prince.
    What’s next? The Artist Who Is Old Enough To Be King??? LOL

    Btw, regarding Humperdinck.. you should say it slowly in Bahasa Baku & it sounds terribly obscene… hehe *GOSH! I’m being terrible! I shocked myself sometimes* *Keeps Slapping herself*

    Bananarama – It was a girl band and I can see why they call it that. :-)

    I have a good one – Atomic Rooster (Yes they exist!) which should complement your Nuclear Pussies nicely. (Do the conversion yourself).

    Minny : Read your list but could not find the Comments link. Anyway I share your beef about The Thompson Twins.

    On top of that, that female member in the duckbill hat started a certain fashion trend, forgot what it was called but was big among a lot of university female students in Australia in the 1980s. Unfortunately it made them look baggy and froopy.

    Gallvanter : It is easy to list crappy band names. Now, what if we try naming the BEST band name of them all?

    i think fred durst named his band after his dog who lost a limb. hence.

    UKJ was meant to be a parody of the band Pretty Boy Floyd. Whitfield Crane’s band was meant to be a irrevent rock band until they got successful (relatively speaking)

    Alex Tell that to a girl and she’s yours! Hahahahahaha! I know I know, a skanky remark, but hey it’s the weekend! :-P

    Minny Yes, I’ve been visiting your blog every now and then, but can’t comment. :-(

    Jemima Definitely. This dude’s confused. Soon, he’ll call himself Poo Doo-doo. You heard it hear first! LOL

    Wombat You have a valid point there my friend, shall come up with a cool band names list soon. Aren’t Bananarama, Robert Deniro’s groupies? LOL. “Robert Deniro’s waiting, talking Italian…”

    Simon Errr, thanks for the info?

    I think there’s one song quite nice from Ugly Kid Joe… is it “Cats in the Cradle” ?

  12. Gallivanter

    Nov 4th, 2006

    endroo G Yup, a nice song, but it’s a remake. “Everything About You” is cool too. But let’s stick to the topic of yucky band names. :-)

    Poor old Joes… hehehhe what about the Teriyaki Boyz… do they taste good with chicken?

    Fools Garden, New Kids on The Block (the name is too long) and Puddle of Mud.

  15. Gallivanter

    Nov 5th, 2006

    Lex Teriyaki Boyz is definitely a queer name, though I like their song. Hehehehe!

    endroo G Puddle of Mudd, what is that? Kickass song though – Blurry. :-)

    Lol. Good post Dan. I can’t think of any at the moment though.

    I like Bananarama! Its a cool name. A mouthful when I was three though. :D

    Alex Ooooooooooooooooh! Isn’t that next to Crazy Town? :-D

    Ness Banana-nanarama would’ve sound much better! :-P

    Dude,
    When I was in college I was past of a rock band called FARMERS DON’T DO GRASS. One journalist wrote about us saying, “If ever there was a chart for the stupidest names for rock bands, these dude would be in it…”

    It is a name which went down in infamy. We left a trail of fist-fights, broken glass and very disheartened gig organisers everywhere we went.

    Oh, for those days again…

    philters That boyband is EVIL! :-P

    Keropok You were in a boy band?

  22. Keropok

    Nov 6th, 2006

    F**k dude… I wouldn’t be caught dead in a boyband (and FYI, The Beatles were NOT a boyband, I don’t care how many column inches you give to the topic. As far as I see it, any band that led a social revolution (and actually played instruments) are not a boy band. On that basis, even poofters like Bon Jovi qualify!

    I played bass in a rock band that wrecked hell. Eff. Why. Eye. :)

  23. Gallivanter

    Nov 6th, 2006

    Keropok Beatles is a boyband. FACT. :-) Come man, admit it, you were in a boyband. :-D

  24. Keropok

    Nov 6th, 2006

    Gallivanter, if The Beatles were a boyband, than I’m the equivalent of Ozzy Osbourne. FACT. And not very likely…

  25. endroo G

    Nov 7th, 2006

    Keropok: I raise my legs to agree with you, band that plays instrument is not boyband. Some people just dont understand.

    Scissors Sisters… gay or not?

  27. Gallivanter

    Nov 8th, 2006

    philters As gay as Westlife. ;-)

    Michael learns to rock…and obviously they’re still learning, cos that band doesn’t rock at all! On second thoughts, good for rocking cradle…and putting people to sleep!!! Anyone knows “Frankie goes to Hollywood”? What about Malaysian bands like “Pretty Ugly” “Single-track mind”? Gosh!!! Such low-esteem!! Not like me, as u can see from my pseudonym!

  29. Gallivanter

    Nov 8th, 2006

    suituapui Yup, would’ve been better if they were known as Michael Learns to Suck. And yes, I know Frankie Goes to Hollywood (Relax). Unfortunately, I’ve also heard of Single-Track Mind, and boy, do they live to their name! These wankers took the stage before INXS and put us all to sleep.

    suituapui : Frankie Goes To Hollywood, around the mid 80s. Relax, Two Tribes (Great MTV video featuring Reagan/Breznev lookalikes) and one of the best song I have ever heard which came out around Christmas called “The Power Of Love” and has nothing to do with Whitney and Huey Lewis’s versions :

    I’ll protect you from the hooded claw
    Keep the vampires from your door

    Feels like fire
    I’m so in love with you
    Dreams are like angels
    They keep bad at bay-bad at bay
    Love is the light
    Scaring darkness away-yeah

    The power of love
    A force from above
    Cleaning my soul
    Flame on burn desire
    Love with tongues of fire
    Purge the soul
    Make love your goal
