1) I'd say at least 75% of band names are more than a little odd when you think about them - The Doors (huh?), The Strolling Bones, even The Beatles.
Inspiral Carpets anyone?
2) Jetlagged Pineapple

One of my favourite bits of music trivia is that REM were originally going to call themselves Cans Of Piss, but decided against it when they realised they wouldn't be able to say the band name to their parents. Probably just as well, because I'm not sure Shiny Happy People or Everybody Hurts would have had quite the same impact coming from Cans Of Piss.

An app band name generator came up with Greasyplay as a random pick. Never knew a band name generator existed. Every day is a learning day ?

When I retired we hired a local young pop group for the 'do'. I think they were called Led Zeppelin (or similar).
(I think they sung Val Doonican covers.)
Funny name and I don't think they played at The Palladium or anything.
