This is ENORMOUSLY handy. From now on, when we post lyrics, we can attribute them to being "as sung by The Lords of the Ringpulls." By this time next year they should be quite famous! Of course only the Inner Clank can claim to be members, so it's a VERY large band!

LOL!! ROFLMAO!!!! MADE MY DAY!!! THANK YOU whoops, apologies for shouting, but it is worth it. Now, we need a tune so that when somebody asks for Lord of the Dance, we can say:

"Sorry, don't know that one, but this Lord of the Ringpulls has a lot of the same notes"

I love naming bands! in the 60's, I came up with "Hairy Peppermint Candy" which was a successful band in my area. In the 70's I suggested "Siggie Freud & the Electric Couche" which was snapped up by some friends who spent the next couple of years on tour with I can't remember who cause I'm so old, and in the 80's I told some college students ,all girls, that they looked like "The Shoulderpads" (it was an 80's thing!)--hey, it's better than the "Maxipads" which was an actual shortlived rival band!)and they adopted the name & played often for highschool & college dances. Alas, they finished college & went their separate ways, all having much smaller shoulders when they graduated.

I had some mates who delighted in controversial band names, that changed with the times. They started out as the 'DC10s', when they were falling out of the sky regularly, and then changed to the 'H Block Cleaners' during that sad era.

"Buttock Cleavage" a band who did a John Peel session once (circa 1993?), is my all time favourite

We once had a lighting director in the TV company I worked for who was very economical with his lighting arrangements. We called him "Prince of Darkness"

A friend of mine, from way back when in Richmond { Surrey UK }, tried to start a band called "The Walham Green, Steam Beating, Carpet Cleaning and Rodent Exterminating Association" No worse when you think about it than Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick, and Tich. I always fancied starting a band called The Prosthetics, they could play a supporting role.Maybe even back The Rolling Stones.

This has been a hobby of my husband's & mine for years; we think EVERYTHING is a good name for a band. One of my favourites, based on a restaurant critic's description of Peking ravioli, is "Sensuous Pillows of Dough"!

There were some excellently named punk bands in the '80s: The Dead Kennedys, Richard Hell & the Voidoids, Dead Nuns on 'Ludes", etc.

Always thought paraphernalia was good one. Same with Organized chaos. Now I just need a band!

A phrase I encountered at work: "fertile dirt."

Another: "benignant." I'd never heard the word before, but it exists. malign/malignant:benign/benignant. It's sort of fun to just say it. Well, it's sort of silly sounding, which is probably why people don't use it.

When Peg and I were on our honeymoon I saw a truck for a company called Deathwish piano movers, now that would be a great name for a band. Squirrell nut zippers is a good one. Of course they are a real band but I thought a great name for a '70's era dico band would be Doctor Funkenstein's monster. (I hate disco for the most part but this shit comes to me when i don't have a lot going on) Let's not forget the country genre how about Pecos Pete and the PArking lot Pukers? O.K. enough of that subject until I check in again. Kindest regards, Neil PS one more Chuck You Farley and the whole fam Damnily;~)
