One I genuinely like is The 25th of May - Lenin & McCarthy. No better title for a group of scouse Marxists.

just dug out this album and gave it a spin expecting it to suck,
and yeah, it's easy to rip into their EMF/Jesus Jones groove,
however, there is a track, 'why?' that uses news snippets re hillsborough from the time that hits really hard.

I can't decide if the band name Neil Young and the Restless is really a cheesy reference to the soap opera or just a coincidence.

Double pun going on here - trombone and bossa nova? Bill Watrous With the New Bill Watrous Quartet, "Coronary Trombossa!" Also good of the Bill Watrous Quartet to allow him to play with them.

Like a lisping 'futurism'?

Do I look like I know what a jpeg is? (dog latin), Saturday, 13 May 2023 13:04 (one year ago) link

Don't know if this counts because it's: (a) the name of the band, and (b) arguably actually pretty non-awful, but it was years before I realised that Hayseed Dixie was a play on AC/DC.

Bloody Snail, Sunday, 14 May 2023 08:11 (one year ago) link

The name is non awful until you find out that it's a pun and then it becomes awful.

Pitbull - Rebelution

Not only a bad pun, but a useless one - Rebel, Revolution, it's already the same thing dude.

Aren’t “b” and “v” sounds also kind of interchangeable in Spanish?

Would've had Morrissey down as an offender here, but can only think of his video compliation Hulmerist.

fits adjacently but i always get a smile out of beaucoup fish's uk-centric working title: tonight matthew, i'm going to be underworld. a hyper online producer shrouded in "y2k aesthetics" may wish to revive that one.
