That'd be a good name for a band
my fertile yet scary brain

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.)

This is back!
The new Nirvana tribute band I'm putting together - "Smells Like Tom Skerritt".
File this in the "I wish I'd thunk of it" folder - Brian Jonestown Massacre.

That's a FR classic, right? I don't think I ever read it but read about it after I signed on...

I used to have to watch a safety film called "Wired for Disaster" once a year for my job - always thought it would be a great name for a band. Either that or Vas Deferens.

Oh, man, I missed your post. I like The Quagmires, too! Maybe, I need to alter to The Screaming Quagmires or The Electric Kool-Aid Quagmires or The Tao of Quagmires or ....

My son was playing drums in a friend's basement. He elbowed back right into the aquarium and had to go get stitches. The ER doctor said just a little bit over and he would have severed an artery and probably bled to death.
Hence, a new (short-lived) band was born: Death by Fishtank.
