Funny band names

   Ethel The Frog were a Scandanavian band I believe- quite why they would be on something that was meant to be a sampler for the UK metal scene baffles me!
I've read some of the reviews of that Metal For Muthas fiasco (I wasn't even born at the time), from people like Geoff Barton, who (rightly I feel) criticised the track selection; there were only a few genuine NWOBHM bands on it, and some of the best- Diamond Head and Saxon- weren't represented. Mind you, the best track of Angelwitch- 'Baphomet'- was; it's a shame their album wasn't as good as that (I still like it though) And Sledgehammer is brilliant!
Some more fun band names eh?
Fuzzy Duck- (apparently named after an alcoholic cocktail....they featured ex members of Atomic Rooster I think, and did an album for MAM records- yes the same label that had Gilbert O' Sullivan)
I'll think of some more...

	Ken Dodd's Dad's Dog's Dead were a band in the mid-to-late 90s. They had a song with a similar name. They were bloody awful!

	Hapshash and the Colored Coat (featuring the Human Host and the Heavy Metal Kids) could be mentioned too. In the Cologne scene there were a few short-lived bands (who never made an album), like Coitus Interruptus, Urinprobe or X-Prep (a heavy laxative).
	BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue.

	Porcupine Tree Spock's Beard Platypus Barenaked Ladies oh yeah; once when I was browsing the metal section of the local CD store, I came across a band called 'Dying Fetus' also, I heard that Finger Eleven used to be called 'The Rainbow Buttmonkeys', but they changed their name because "no one took then seriously" Edited by el_Sethro
	Who you gonna call?
