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.)

Great name. Post 47 is a mysterious allusion.

Thought of a few more:

Nads
Schlitterbahn 500
Kerry and the Implodes
Bambi and the Implants
Tetnus
IV Units
Basura Bossanova
Abu Grab
Door 322 (Skull and Crossbones)

Hey there fellow Texan!! Not good at names, and it has probably already been suggested, but "Hildebeast" or "PIAPS"

AmericaRocks has always been a fave tag of mine, but it had to be retired for some reason I forget.

If you wanted to get fangirly, Your Worship is a good one, or if you really wanted to be obscure, a nice Tolkien name would work. How bout Ernil I Pheriannath!?

Nah? Oh well...had to try...

I love that suggestion!!

Of course, there's always Smee Hee!

I grabbed this from an NYT article this week to use for my tagline, but it would also make a good band name:

Cozy Duvet of Rage

[thackney]

How about:

"The thread that wouldn't die"
