Strangest band names

I was just looking through my cd collection and it occured to me that some of these bands have pretty odd names. What are some of the strangest band names in you collection?

Mine:

Toad the Wet Sprocket
Inspiral Carpets
Legendary Pink Dots
Moonpools & Caterpillars
Anal Cunt(nice one huh - band basically sucks but it was a gag gift from a friend so I can't get rid of it.)

Good times.

"Foo Fighters" got their name from the British planes charged with dropping bombs strategically to extinguish or prevent the spread of fires during WWII. They were also used in France, where they were called Foo Fighters after the word "feu" (French for "fire"), which got its pronounciation corrupted when used by the Brits. Basically, it means "Fire Fighters".

Godspeed You! Black Emperor is a direct translation of the title of a 1950's Japanese biker movie. The movie itself was never popular, but it obviously deeply affected the founders of the band.

Rainbow Butt Monkeys went on to be known as Finger Eleven.

My picks:

Super Furry Animals
The Negro Problem
Ted Leo and the Pharmacists
Death Cab For Cutie
The Flaming Lips
The High Llamas

Strangest band name? Steely Dan! .... if you know what it's refering to, that is. I'll give you a hint. It's a reference from Naked Lunch.

I knew this one band, they got together for a special May Day Festival and they called themselves
"Condom"
because they were a one time band only! Thing is, they were going to play again the following week but with a different name
"Used Condom"

Anyway, it made me laugh .
