Band Name: I Thought I Was Dale
Songs: “Here Comes Speedy Delivery Guy (And Boy Does He Have A Package)”
“You Looked Poured Into That Sweater”
“You Wanna Try Some of That Kissin’, Bert?”
The Space Mutinies, with their new self-titled album, featuring songs such as:
“Butch Deadlift”
“Bold Bigflank”
“Big McLargehuge”
and “RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH”
Amazed no one’s done this yet, but mine would be the Wild Rebels, whose hits include “Wild Rebels”, “Lighthouse of Doom”, and “I’d Like to Return These Bullets”. If you’ve never heard a band with a keytar and a banjo, you’re in for a treat! Catch our tour in Citrusville, Dairyton, Kalegrad, and perhaps a city kind of vaguely near YOU! Stay for the encore of “Remember When We Tried That?”!
How about the death metal band “The Black Lagoon”, with their hit “The Creature Returns”?
And because someone had to quote it:
Johnny at the Fair
Joel: “Yeah, I know, it’s a new band from Seattle, right?” :)
Band: Master Ninja Eye
Songs:
“The Tranquility of Post-War Japan”
“Henry (Portrait of a Serial Gerbil)”
“(We Are Friends) Tim”
and of course….
“Master Ninja Theme Song”
My Misfits style band The Phantom Creeps would play our hit song “That could’ve gone better”.
We’d also play “The Creeping Terror”, “Bloodlust”, “A Werewolf like that, he kill your brother”, “The Slime People”, “This day is dedicated to Uranus”, “Teenage Strangler”, “Butterfly kisses of Death”, “Blown out the Window by Love”, Werewolf Security Guard”, “Pray to the Police”, “Devil Doll”, and “A Touch of Satan”
I almost forgot our hit single “He tried to kill me with a Forklift”.
Folk music group: Riff In Peace
Latest song, Side A: Look, I’m A Turtle
B side: I’d Hate To Shoot A Butt Like That (instrumental)
I would call my band the Hobgoblins. We would have Frankie, lead singer, Sniffles on bass, Bounce-bounce on guitar, and The Claw on drums. We would play the “Concert for Herpes” at Club Scum, and do our two big hits, “Kiss Kicker 99”, (or Pig Licker?) and “Maybe They’re Drinking Too Much Oval Brand Beer”
Frankie would sing “LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT OUR DRINK SPECIALS TONIGHT! DON’T PARK IN THE ALLEY OR YOU’LL GET TOWED!”
Great thread, by the way.
My wife suggested “Springly and the Spring Sprites” and their song “I got no springs…”
My Misfits style band The Phantom Creeps could also play “We actually like Rammstein”, “JC Shows you the Light”, “Grin of the Hobgoblins”, “The Phantom Planet”, “Beware the Pastries of Nilbog”, “Soultaker”, “Signed Copy of the Necronomicon”, “And my Lunch goes Bleeaaaagh”, “Stampede at the Devil’s Walnut Ranch”, “Gorgo Dorkin'”, “Laserblaster”, “Satan’s Jockstrap”, The Deadly Mantis”, “Lycanthropy is an STD”, “Zombie Nightmare”, “Bite Me, It’s Fun”, “Ed Wood’s Panties”, “Robot Monster in Love” and “The Day Coleman Francis’ Soul Died”.
A three-piece ensemble called Food, Eating, The Theater. You’ll like it very much.
The Critters starring, of course, Critter and the band in Girl in Gold Boots. (personally, I didn’t think they were bad)
They could sing “Do You Want to Laugh or Cry, (or Look Like John Tesh)” and open for the poetry slam on Wednesdays at Eat.
My other choice of band name would be Horrors of Toxic Beach: The band’s song was trying to say “whoa, whoa, whoa” with the underlying message “wiggle wiggle wobble wobble.” The lip-syncing could use a little work, though.
8-) 8-) 8-) 8-)
Ken & The Kens sing their hits “He Tried to Kill Me (The Forklift Song)” and “You’re Stuck Here”.
How about “The Incredibly Mixed Up Zombies” with their classic hits, “Schick Out of Shape”, “Get Your Tickets Here” and “Ortega”.
Or “Leech Woman”, with her hit songs, “JEEEEEEEEEEDDDD!” and “Pain In The Neck”
Warwulf – Swedish Death Metal, hit song “Alright, I’ll Tells You”
Spider Invasion – Western meets Dirt Core Punk. Hit songs “Hittin’ the Booze Again” and “PACKERS WIN THE SUPERBOWL!!!”
Boggy and the Creeks – Folk rock jam band, hit songs “Can I Borrow A Cup of Shirt?” and “I Gotta Tend to my Fires”.
The Rowsdower-Troy Experience with “Is There Beer on the Sun?”
Master and the Wives with “ARISE!” and “Torgo Boogie”
Adam’s Chance with “Meet Me at the Judo Range”
Chubby Ramone sings “Everyone go up a shirt size.”
The Train Engineers with dead teenager ballad, ‘Why Don’t They Look?’ Look for them at Branson, Mo!
Big Stupid with the classic ballad, ‘Change for a Fifty?’
The Sinister Urges (lead by Gloria) with the folk hit “Kindly Old Pornographer”
Zombie Nightmare with the thrash metal hit “You Will Have It and You Will Love It!” B side: “Spaghetti Tossing”
The Screaming Skulls with the 80’s pop hit ‘Mickey’.
Cornjob- you gotta have a tune called Yew and Yur Dawtur ur Doomed, too.
War-wulf & The Teenagers perform ‘Milk Splash’ and ‘Moon Rock’ on tour with The Daddy-O’s featuring their hit single ‘Want Some?’
Opening band: The Del-Aires perform ‘Zombie Stomp’ (I really do like that song, btw).
Here’s a hit climbing the charts by a group of lads who met south of the border on the set of the mega-hit “Santa Claus”. You know them as ‘Pitch’s Boys’ and this is from their new album ‘Son of a Pitch’. It’s the ballad of a young girl in a moral dilemma, here’s ‘No Lupita’!
Clearly spoken by someone who didn’t want to appear to be out of the loop. :P
Chochen (The Ancient One from Santa Clause Conquers the Martians) and our hit song, “I had Jello Today.”
Glen and the Amazing Colossal Men with their hit: ‘What sin could a man commit?’
If your band is named “Sex Factory’ like Mike’s back when he was working at the cheese factory, chances are you totally rock. For that kind of sound I’d probably go with something more like ‘The Beast of Yucca Flats’, or better yet, ‘The Sword and the Dragon.’ With a name like that you’d totally kill it, guaranteed.
One more: Dave Ryder & The Mutineers, the “futuristic” New Wave band, featuring the songs “Come on and Ride My Lancer”, “Railin’ Against The Man”, “(We’re All) Bellerians”, “Oi!”, “Elegy for Lt. Lamont (Oh, Never Mind)”, “Enforcer in the Warehouse”, “Shake It Like Ralph Macchio”, and “Woo!”. From the forthcoming album Out Of The Basement. All songs written by Hope John and Holiday DeCock. Performing live next week at The Comedy Central Roast of Chief Engineer MacPhearson.
A sultry metal-jazz lounge act “Spider Island Horrors” :cigarette: with classic hits like “Looking for Gary”, “Slightly More Intense Murmur”, “Pull Your Pants Up Higher”, “Researching Researcher” and “A Bra Bra Navel Nite”! (To give my jazz lounge act its metal twist of pizzazz :musicnote: , Geoff Tate will play saxophone since he’s no longer in Queensryche.)
Can’t believe no one else touched “Horrors of Spider Island”! Yay & Huzzah! I’m original!
Hi, we’re CrankWhore and we’re gonna do a couple of songs from our upcoming release, “I Like It Very Much!”, followed by “There Ain’t No Geigers Here”.
Retro ’60s pop band Monster a-Go Go, whose LP is entitled “There Is No Album”. It’s all just a bunch of disjointed noises, including an a cappella rendition of a telephone ringing.
Needless to say, the pop band identity was a fake.
Re:#76
Good idea. Both incarnations of Misfits and Rob Zombie have mined B-movies for material and have overlapped into MST territory. Rob even made an album called The Sinister Urge and uses Bela Lugosi’s Iron Man in his videos and artwork. Misfits performs a song called The Crawling Eye. My Phantom Creeps band could sing “We Can’t Help Being Creepy.”
The Valmonts and their Cartoon Walrus sing “Is that stud coming?”
Or
Lounge singer Natalie gives her “sultry” take on “Wahr, oh Wahrwilf?”
I like Dr. Ted Nelson and the Starfighters
with songs like
‘Man oh Manos (Thought You Were Dale)’
‘S.A.M.P.O.’
‘Razor Blade in a Wineglass’
and I suppose we’d cover ‘Yipes Stripes’ and the hits of Digger Smolken too…
Icky Mickey and the Screaming Skulls here, with our debut album, Cry of the Peacock, featuring —
“Tossing Me”
“The Healing Touch of Reverend Snow”
“Noodle My Tuba”
“Raking the Ashes of Our Love”
“Beast in the Jungle”
and of course our signature tune, “Looking for Mickey”
(I realize Mr. B’s Cousin (#75) kinda got here first, but I had to work.)
Of course there’s also Ickey Mickey’s signature hit (zoomed to #2 on Billboard):
“I didn’t steal no bike neither.”
I would either go with The Other Th, with our hit song, “Eeee-Ooooh!”
Or, go solo as Cabbage Patch Elvis and record the hit, “Stop Saying Whee (Nobody Says Whee)”
First up:
The Mincing Co-Pilots with their hit “The Good and the Beautiful”.
Next up:
My Plastic Hair is Furious performs his country hit “Just rode in from Richmond”.
Nick and the Chins perform their love ballad “But Lisa, I…er, you and me… er, we… umm”.
“Julie Walker, Texas Ranger”
I’d go for a band that sings songs about other bands. We’d be “The Band That Played ‘The Band That Played ‘California Lady””, and our hit single would be, “The Band That Played ‘California Lady'”. Sadly, after that would come the drinking, and the drugs, and the compulsive gambling…
The Batgirls presents, “Struggle for Horseshoes”.
The Whisper-Thins sing “When TV Repairmen Ruled the World.”
Riding with Death Through San Bernardino sing “Think I’ll Get Me a Mood Ring,” and other 70s classics.
