Amusing article about band names at SFGate today...

I know I've mentioned MY dream: A band named The Mondegreens who sing all the songs wrong....

or the Wynona Riders (I knew one of the original members)

or Jonas Grumby (I once saw a flyer for a show they did with a band called Thurston Howel the Third)

or Ted Zepplin or Monkey Knife Fight (Simpsons joke)

I think your band should be called Barry and the Beejtones.  Or maybe the just the Beejtones.

Mine would be Lightnin' Rod and the Willfully Obscure.  (unless mike has already tm 'd the willfully obscure).

the article has a band with a Tolkien reference, and that is the most recent inspiration I had, from watching the extended RotK last weekend.  My band would be called...

Fool Of A Took
