What's In A Name?

I always thought "The Beatles" was an incredibly clever band name. According to John Lennon, the group's name was a combination word-play on the insect "beetles", a nod to Buddy Holly's band (the Crickets) and the word "beat" which in the late 1950s and early 1960s carried both musical connotations (the beat of a song) and pop-cultural connotations (relating to the Beat generation).

As clever as "The Beatles" may be as a name it can't hold a candle to some other real band names listed on this webpage - The Canonical List of Weird Band Names. A few of my favorites include Above Average Weight Band, Cindy Brady's Lisp, I Buried Paul, JFKFC, Jehovah’s Witness Protection Program, Lee Harvey Keitel, Nearly Died Laughing While Shaving My Butt, Sandy Duncan's Eye, and Whorgasm.

I think if I ever had a band I'd call it Pearl Jamnation.
