That'd be a good name for a band

Readers of Dave Barry are familiar with this one. When Barry finds a particularly felicitous turn of phrase, he notes that it'd be a good name for a band. (Some examples that come to mind are the Foliage Eaters, the Radioactive Muskrats, Ruth's Hat, the Ozone-Depleting Troglodytes, and one of my favorites, Pinot Noir and His Nuances of Toast.)

So, fellow FReeper Word Mavens and fans of Mr. Language Person, what have you found (both on FR and in your real lives) that would make a good name for a band? (Feel free to include Barry's contributions, if you know any.)

The Beatles. Get it -- "beat" instead of "beet"???

When I spent the summer between my Junior and Senior year of H.S. at Harvard (1983), there was a Beetles imitation group that played on the streets, called The Beatles. Three economics grad students and a high school summer student.

Maybe just War Slut for an all-girl hard rock band. I guarantee some band in San Francisco will use it in the next few months.

I always thought a great band name would be "TBA," so when you're playing a show, the marquee outside says "Appearing Tonight - TBA."
