I remember that tongue-twister used as a password at this crappy, very kitsh movie with Jane Fonda named "Barbarella"...

Definitely, I'd have to rip off my tongue first in order to pronounce that correctly!

  Metal?

If we're thinking of the same group, those that done 'the Final Countdown', then they aren't metal.

Cluster One:

Not by a long shot!  I would bet that, with a little thought (and maybe some research...), you could find as many more as I have listed.

Snow Dog:

Actually, it depends on your personal beliefs, doesn't it?    Still, since those places cannot be proven to have existed, you are correct.  Thank you for pointing it out.

Peace.

There is a Dutch band (from Leewarden ? crap spelling) who named themselves 'Flamborough Head' after part of the North Yorkshire coastline. 

When they played for the CRS in Rotherham a few years ago (supporting Threshold), they were taken there on the following Monday to see where they were named after...
