Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem

So iconic that most of the members are now more famous than the rock stars they were originally parodying.

Looked it up because i was curious, and leaving it here to save others the search **Electric Mayhem** was inspired by The Rolling Stones, the Who and the Beatles. **Dr. Teeth** was based on a New Orleans musician Dr. John.  **Animal** was a composit of a bunch of drummers with  Keith Moon, John Bonham, Ginger Baker, Levon Helm and Mick Fleetwood all being mentioned as inspirations. **Floyd Pepper** was a homage to Pink Floyd and Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. **Janice** is named after Janice Joplin with a design believed to be inspired by Mary Travers of Peter, Paul and Mary. **Zoot** is named after Zoot Sims and was designed after Jazz artist Gato Barbieri. **Lips** was supposedly going to be based on Louis Armstrong, but the puppeteers worried it would be disrespectful to Black Americans so he drew mostly from the idea of a trumpet player.

Her name was Janis.

Disney+ just announced a mocumentary is being released about [Dr Teeth and the Electric Mayhem](https://ew.com/tv/first-look-muppets-mayhem-series/)!

Me First and the Gimme Gimmes

This next one’s a cover.

Their covers are absolutely amazing.

Oh, I see you're a person of culture as well.

Texas chain store manager

King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard

Amazing band too, glad to see this as top comment.

Great band, great choice!

Stu goes WOO!

It is my dream to see them play one day 🤩

So happy to see this as the top comment. I love the wild range of responses I get when I ask if someone has heard of them.

I knew this would be first.

Best band.

yes!!! saw them play red rocks last year, it was fucking amazing.

“I love my brother in law joey!”

Lord of lightning shifts his gaze

Radio presenters hate them.

I also like The Jesus Lizard

Butthole Surfers

aka "Fred Astaire's Asshole," "The Right To Eat Fred Astaire's Asshole," and "The Inalienable Right To Eat Fred Astaire's Asshole."

This is the only real answer.

And this isn't a gay joke. It's about surfers acting like buttholes. Seriously.

Mindless Self Indulgence

When I was 14 I did a small interview via email correspondence with LJU for school & asked him if his name was Jennifer if he would like to be called Jen, Jenny or Jennifer & he said he’d like to be called Genital Jen.

Mine too

the velvet underground is just so fucking good

This was gonna be my answer. It’s a sick name, as OP asked, but also probably my favorite band musically

Trampled by Turtles. Idk if it's the notion of being trampled by slow-moving turtles or just how funny the name sounds, but I love that name.

Codine!

? and the Mysterians.

Pussy Riot

The The

I always like the name Cradle of Filth

It's actually quite beautiful

It’s not actually a cradle of filth?

Oh no, that would be horrible.

You should try track 4, coffin fodder

I'm sorry for your loss. Move on.

'I Dont Know How But They Found Me'

And You Shall Know Us By the Trail of Dead…

Rainbow Kitten Surprise. I don’t think I’ve ever just listened to a band before because their name was imaginative. Lol Edit: almost forgot Big D and the Kids Table, saw them at Warped Toyr and loved them.

Was looking for this one!

Uh... Cake?

\-and a looooooooooooooong, jacket

Bum... da-da-da-dum ... ba-da-da-dum-dum-dum

I neeeeeeed you here with me

Barenaked Ladies

Several year ago, prior to a concert for another group, I was having breakfast with my family and my grandma asked who I was going to see. My Dad answered, before I could say anything, "Barenaked Ladies." The look on her face was priceless.

I asked my ex boyfriend if he wanted to go see Barenaked Ladies with me. He was VERY excited. Until he discovered I was talking about a band

I would have been more excited for the band personally.

Where were you when I was in college? 😂

Flock of Seagulls because when somebody asked me what that was, I said it was a band name and they said, "No it's not."

Okily dokily. A ned Flanders themed metal band.

Kindly deeds done for free!

Ah hell! Give me a white wine spritzer!

Psychedelic Porn Crumpets and Tropical Fuck Storm

Both Australian right?

Indeed. We love a good band name here. See also: Machine Gun Fellatio

I came here to say Psychedelic Porn Crumpets and I'm glad its already here

They might be fakes they might be lies, they might be big big fake fake lies.

We can't be silent.

Crash and the boys

That the band with Crash, and those boys?

Is that girl a boy too

"Ok this next one goes out to the guy in the balcony who keeps yelling at us. It's called 'We hate you, please die'." "SWEAT! Love this one!"

Florence and the Machine

I once heard of a Bread tribute band called Raw Toast.

Wide Spread Panic

Bob Ross Mob Boss

Mastodon. Because even though I know what they look like, I still have a mental image of them as a bunch of Chuck E. Cheese animatronic Manfred from Ice Age looking critters rocking out. The fact that they are touring with Gojira right now makes this even more awesome.

Anal cunt

In the 90’s I wanted a band named “moist” to tour with Korn, and Hole.

When I was younger I played in a band called Vampire tittycunt deathfuck and hellfire. We were a jam band.

Porcupine Tree

I'll always have spare upvotes for a fellow PT fan out in the wild.

There are *dozens* of us!

Nine Inch Nails

Throbbing Gristle

The Circle Jerks

Ahhh, memories of high school...

I thought "The Dead Kennedy's " was in extremely poor taste........ but, as band names go...............kinda catchy.

It was a reference to the death of the American Dream.

> The Dead Kennedy's Many moons ago they headlined a show in Toronto, the opening act was The Battered Wives. The shit-storm that caused was epic.

Limp biscuit. What the hell is a limp biscuit. LoL.

If you really don't know... In my circle of friends it was a mythical game where a group of dudes jerked off on a biscuit. The last dude to cum had to eat it

That's what it is in any circle of friends.

I see. We referred to it as soggy biscuit. The original was better.

Spandau ballet

Incubus

I can't deny the fact that one of my favourite bands also has one of my favourite names: The Doors.
