Subject: RE: Groups with animal names! From: Little Hawk Date: 07 Sep 00 - 11:42 PM Here's a REALLY obscure one...there was an adult comic called "Omaha The Cat Dancer". It had characters who were cartoon animals, such as cats, dogs, buffalo, different kinds of birds, etc...dressed up and behaving like 20th century people in our society, and it openly depicted their sex life at times, as well as all the other aspects. In some respects it was a pretty good comic (and may still be around, for all I know). They had a band in that comic called "The Herd". Now, I believe there actually is a human band called The Herd which was a spinoff from that, formed by musician friends of the couple who draw and write that comic...I can't recall their names. I have an "Omaha The Cat Dancer" T-shirt. It's cool. |

Subject: RE: Groups with animal names! From: mousethief Date: 07 Sep 00 - 05:17 PM I looked up commodore and there was nothing about birds. Don't quote me, but I think the the word "animals" as used in the name of the thread was meant to mean "animals as opposed to people' -- obviously people are animals (what else? minerals? vegetables? well okay some are that too). Other animal groups. Hmmm.
Country Joe and the Fish

Subject: RE: Groups with animal names! From: sophocleese Date: 07 Sep 00 - 04:49 PM MMario you reminded me of some friends in highschool who won the air-guitar contest. They attached strings to hats, lowered them so that they hung in front of the microphones and called themselves "Hats without Men". |

Subject: RE: Groups with animal names! From: MMario Date: 07 Sep 00 - 04:38 PM Mbo - go take a cold shower. *grin* |

Subject: RE: Groups with animal names! From: Mbo Date: 07 Sep 00 - 04:36 PM Ok, then! Human League! Don't you want me baby? Don't you want me oooooh! |
|
Subject: RE: Groups with animal names! From: MMario Date: 07 Sep 00 - 04:33 PM I will point out that biologically people are animals. If you object, your other options are to be a plant, a protista or viroid: hence commodores, and men without hats (or with hats for that matter) and Troglodytes are all animals |
|
Subject: RE: Groups with animal names! From: Mbo Date: 07 Sep 00 - 04:05 PM Troglodytes aedon is the house wren, (for all you Mr.Rogers enthusiasts)! BTW I told the story of the Trogs' name on the Part one of this thread. |
|
Subject: RE: Groups with animal names! From: Micca Date: 07 Sep 00 - 04:01 PM Grab, on a technicality, Troglodytes troglodytes is the Northern Wren and therefore a bird, and (I know its stretching it) therefore admissable tho' I doubt if the Trogs had this in mind when choosing a name. |

Subject: RE: Groups with animal names! From: Callie Date: 07 Sep 00 - 02:11 AM Yes, Lubricated Goats. They are or were an indie band around Sydney. And I forgot to mention other local bands:
Real Gone Cats John Lennon's band Elephant's Memory A band I was in that came last in the University Band Competition called Ram (we got a special mention and prize for being terrible). Callie |

Subject: RE: Groups with animal names! From: Little Hawk Date: 05 Sep 00 - 09:45 AM Grab - You had the temerity to introduce the supposed evolution vs. creation debate...Ooooooo, boy! Well I've got news fer ya...no need for said debate at all. You see, both evolution AND creation are perfectly legitimate notions, and are not mutually exclusive. To wit: Creation may be termed as the single original impetus that got the whole ball rolling (the "Big Bang", if you want to put it in scientific terms). The scientists' only misperception about said Big Bang is that he doesn't seem to realize that there was a conscious purpose and intention behind it. There was. That was creation. Now, within creation were embodied numerous handy and elegantly workable mechanisms to modify said creation and move it onward into new and interesting developments...such as evolution. Evolution was based on numerous factors, such as survival, beauty and aesthetic considerations of all kinds, the desire toward perfection, the desire to test out all possible theories and limitations, and so on, ad infinitum. None of that was accidental. Evolution is simply a smaller aspect of life contained within the whole of what we could term creation. No need for a debate between them at all.

Subject: RE: Groups with animal names! From: Grab Date: 05 Sep 00 - 09:23 AM Oops, forgot my line-break tags! Fair enough, Bernard. But someone further up was saying something about Whitesnake, so I just posted that. Can't be arsed reading the thread through again to find exactly what was said, though! :-) Grab. |

Subject: RE: Groups with animal names! From: Peter Kasin Date: 05 Sep 00 - 03:18 AM Curlew (Shetland band) The Possum Pickers (Old-timey band from MA.) Getting down to the obscure stuff now. |
|
Subject: RE: Groups with animal names! From: Bernard Date: 04 Sep 00 - 06:26 PM Ey up, Grab! > I've a feeling you may find that "Whitesnake" isn't named after a species of reptile... ;-) Never said it was! The thread is called 'Groups with animal names' - not 'named after animals'! Poetic licence, y'see! |
|
Subject: RE: Groups with animal names! From: Grab Date: 04 Sep 00 - 02:08 PM My nominations... Super Furry Animals Screamin' Jay Hawkins Captain Beefheart (well, it's _part_ of an animal...) Fish (ex of Marillion, now solo) Sid Kipper (it's an animal, just dead and a bit smokey) Eagle-Eye Cherry I've a feeling you may find that "Whitesnake" isn't named after a species of reptile... ;-) Oh, and a "trog" is a trogolodyte, or caveman. So not quite an animal (although the debate on that will run and run if we've got any evolution vs. creation nutters in here). Grab. |

Subject: RE: Groups with animal names! From: Quincy Date: 04 Sep 00 - 06:02 AM Well now, this brings to mind a trip over to the Galtymore Irish Club in Cricklewood last year. We'd had a good night...several bands had been playing.....back to B&B in the early hours. I was sitting at the breakfast table and through half-open eyes I saw a fella that I thought I recognised from a band on the stage the night before. No sleep so I wasn't too sure......but I had to ask anyway! "Excuse me, but would you be a Squealing Pig?" Thankfully, much to my relief....he was! An elderly couple at the next table were highly amused. I think the band were from London/Londonderry way. So there you go now...a long way round to it.....The Squealing Pigs!!!! best wishes, Yvonne |

Subject: RE: Groups with animal names! From: Mbo Date: 03 Sep 00 - 10:44 PM Little Hawk, you gotta read all the posts! I mentioned Tartan Amoebas way up there. They combine Highland bagpipes & Scottish melodies with ska brass band. |
|
Subject: RE: Groups with animal names! From: Little Hawk Date: 03 Sep 00 - 10:41 PM The "Tartan Amoebas"??? Really? What did they play? Has anyone mentioned Iron Butterfly? Oh, and there was a band in Toronto in the early 70's called SYD RABBIT (take note, Lepus Rex), and another called EDWARD BEAR. |

Subject: RE: Groups with animal names! From: Mbo Date: 02 Sep 00 - 06:57 PM Spaw's like a kindergartener, if he insults you, that means he likes you. But my dear Little Hawk, there was a band called The Penguins! I mentioned them above. Remember, they sang "Earth Angel". God I love that song. |

Subject: RE: Groups with animal names! From: Little Hawk Date: 02 Sep 00 - 06:47 PM I don't get it either, Mbo. I think Raptor has depleted his brain cells through rampant sexual excess. Either that or it's crawling on his belly through the underbrush trying to snap a closeup of the Ream-Nosed Romflombler. One was rumoured to be in the area a couple of weeks ago, and he's been a little dingy ever since...Raptor, I mean, not the Romflombler. Spaw - I am quite miffed about missing out on the bidding for the Amish Australian Pitchfork Moustache Tuner. It's not often a chance like that comes up. Has anyone noticed that dogs and fish seem to be dominating the theme? Interesting. Why not penguins and aardvarks? Go figure. Mbo - I think Spaw's gaelic curse (directed toward me) means something like "May the malevolent Meebo soil your underwear!" If so, it insults both you and me. |

Subject: RE: Groups with animal names! From: Mbo Date: 02 Sep 00 - 05:52 PM Men - hats = animals? |

Subject: RE: Groups with animal names! From: GUEST,Raptor Date: 02 Sep 00 - 05:40 PM Men without hats (you didn't say it had to be a good band) |
