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.)

Frank Zappa put out some records of decent pastiche Baroque music some years ago. The "group" (it may just have been Zappa on a synthesizer, for all I know) was called on the CD the "Barking Pumpkin Digital Gratification Consort"!
