) to help our users cope with "trolls" and other commenters whom they find annoying. Go to our
Group name: “Flag On The Moon”
Hit Song: “Idiot Control Now”
The Fish Pickers. Our hit song would be “The Hobgoblin Shuffle.”
However, that band would fracture after releasing the single and out of the ashes would arise The David Ryder Experience and our album “AAAAAAAHHHHHHH” would feature Push On, Mighty Cushman and The Ballad of Mutineer Kalgan.
Dave Ryder and the McLargeHuges, with their number one hit, “I don’t have time for this (I skipped a few lines).”
Torgo and His Inflatable Knees singing their smash hit “It’ll Be Dark Soon!”
The Mighty Tors sing their R and B ballad “Time For Go To Bed”
Daisy and the Anteaters sing “My Nuts”!
The Zaps with our hit songs “I wonder if there’s beer on the sun?”, “ROWSDOWER!”, and “FOOD!”
The Trumpy You Can Do Magic Things with the smash hit “I’m a Rock Star, so I can Cheat on my Girlfriend”.
And the Grammy for “Best Newcomer” goes to…
The Foreheads!
And now they’ll perform their new hit, “This Island Earth (Doesn’t Shine For Me Anymore)”!
(I wish they’d been able to keep that riff from ConventioCon I.)
Form a duo group called “Mitchell & Geronimo”, and we’ll have such hits like “Heart Poundin’, Veins Cloggin'”, and “Malta, Get A Tree!”
‘Ro-Man and the Ro-Men’ featuring the #1 chart busting soulful ballad…’To be like the hu-man.’ Paula Cole eat your heart out.
The hit single “Flying Elves Are Back” by Coily and the Spring Sprites, with the B-Side “Thank Goodness for Internal Genitalia!”
I like Kay and the Home Economics Singers, with their take on the musical question, “How Do Poptarts Work?”
Mr B & The Naturals
Hit song would be “Lola”
Knew Your Father I Did
Fun, Fun, FUN!
Clean Your Horn Boy
Hi-Keeba and their plaintive ballard “Why Don’t They Just Go Around?”
My band would be called Princes of Space, and our hit song would be “Your weapons have no effect on us!”
Plus, our opening band would be The Legends (featuring their lead singer, Boggy) crooning out their signature single – “I saw the little creature…”
“The Laziest Men on Mars” was a techno band of some renown.
I’d make a black metal band called “Touch of Satan” with hit songs like “Sit With Me & Satan Too” “Walnut Uprising” “Carnation Ice Cream” and “Things That Make You Go Zat” with a hidden track “You Make Me Go Burpie”! We’d have a female lead singer with the stage name Melissa “Two Sheds” Strickland! m/
Folk duo The Pencil Thin Mustaches Brothers with their haunting ballad “Why Don’t They Look?”
You all are funny! There are some very clever band names and songs so far.
I was thinking of managing “The Mole People”, with their first single being “I Wonder If You Can Smoke Mushrooms?”
They would join label mates “Jimmy And The Accusers”, who are soon releasing “My Mom Doesn’t Drink”.
This was tough due to everyone before me taking all the best ideas. But I finally came up with one. Buffalo Bill and the Death Riders with their #1 hit, “You Can Keep the Black Marks Off My Mud Flaps.”
Bob Evel and the Time Chasers (with two-plaid girl on drums—like the
band The Honeycombs).
Hit song: What else, Time After Time.
Must admit, this thread was my suggestion and the responses so far have been absolutely hilarious to read!
But I’m sorry to say my old band (Shut Up, Iris) has called it a day. Now I’m with Give My Mustache to Trevor, whose debut track, “This Is Where the Fish Lives,” is starting to get some airplay.
The Band: Red Zone Cuba (formerly the Coleman Francis Experience).
Their big hits: “I Think You Sat In Ice Cream”, “Tasty Frog Legs” and “Water! Thirsty! Sick Man!”
The cost of admission: A penny and a broken cigarette.
Here are three:
Band: The Deadly Bees
Song: My Baby Went To Hargrove’s to Ruffle Through His Drawers Last Night
Band: The Incredibly Strange Creatures
Song: Schick Out of Shape
Band: Jack Frost
Song: It’s Colder than a Bucket of Penguin Poop, Colder than a Polar Bear’s Butt
About a decade ago when I was in high school, some friends of mine and I formed a semi-functional band with Spinal Tap-ish aspirations to fake fame and glory. Since one of the five was named Steve, we settled on The Power Steves…I don’t think anyone in the group was aware that it was in tribute to The Power Steves who make their sole appearance in a host segment in show #601, booked by Crow. Those were the daze.
What a great WDT!
My group would be the hard-as-nails all-girl band The Violent Years. You’ve probably heard their signature tune, “So What?,” but have you rocked out to “Mud Butler,” “Communist Vandalism,” and “Double Bag It, Son!” ??
‘Megaweapon’ would be a great band name.
But as for being associated with MST3K, that’s kinof up for grabs, I dont know if it’s something that you’d get as a reference right away.
‘Torgo’s Knees’ is probably much more recognizable.
How about a MST coverband called The Neoluddites? We’d do “Fish Kicker” and “Hear The Engines Roar” and “California Lady” and…
Not MST3K related, but this WDT recalls this true story…
When I was in college in the early 80s at Texas A&M, punk rock was just coming into prominence. Several freshmen students in our dorm were raving about the punk rock scene in Dallas, and punk rock bands were coming into clubs in the College Station area. We would see advertisements for their performances all over campus. My friends and I were not into punk rock, and were tired of all the punk rock ads, so we made up some fake ads for a fake band “coming to town soon.” We named the band The Syringes, and the ads talked about their big hit songs, “Beat Me Til I Die” and “Pharmaceuticals”. We picked some club, a date and time for the performance, made a bunch of copies, and posted them all over campus. All in all, a pretty lame joke….
Except that, a few days later, as my friends and I were eating lunch in the cafeteria, we overhead the following conversation at a nearby table:
— “Hey, are you guys going to hear the Syringes on Saturday night?”
— “No, who are they?”
— “Oh, I’ve heard their stuff on the radio. Man, they’re AWESOME!!”
It was all we could do to keep from spraying the food in our mouths out at each other.
On your feet everyone! It’s time for the latest dance craze, “Leg Up!” from Hee-La!
Leonard Maltin gives it 3 out of 5 stars! “It’s a Laserblast!”
All girl band, The Pearls.
Song, “Do the Pony”.
“Thank you, Phoenix! We’re Johnny Longbone and the Ineffectual Pranksters. And before we kick things off with our Top 10 smash, ‘Moon Rock, Oh Wow,’ we’re gonna do one by some friends of ours. Sing along if you know it. And-a-one, two, three, four… My voice been gettin’ froggy/I been smokin’ too damn much… California Laaaaaady, won’t you shorten your dress for me…”
Next up on the bill “The Kirks” with their mega-smash, “Spooky Girl”
Obviously, my space rock band would be called “The Roji-Panty Complex”. Check out our seventeen minute ethereal rock song “Requiem for a Hitler Building”.
straight from somewhere in Europe we present ‘Diabolik’ featuring their smash hit ‘Jenko’
imagine using ‘Roxanne’ by the ‘Police’
Je-nko!
why do you try to arrest me?
Valmont don’t be a hero!
man, this rub-ber suit is rea-lly tight.
Je-nko!

Rat Fink and the Batgirls sing Wierd-ass Hootenanny.
Rommel and the Sidehackers, playing their smash hit “I want a hamburger and French fries!”
And that ballad of longing and need, the “KTMA’s” with “Please Release Me”
And my last post should have been “Creepy Girl” by the “Kirks”
If you’re like me, and I know I am, you mis-post a LOT! :-)
Kenny and the Short Shorts new single! I Don’t Care!
Gamera is Friend to Children on The B-Side
Bart Fargo and the Far(goe)ts, and our signature song is “That Means We Won’t Be Able to Boink.”
The Freelance Murray Slaughters with their top ten smash hit “Damn Dirty Glasses.”
We also do killer versions of “Watermelon Man” and “Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba-Ba–Dah-Dah-Dah-Dah.”
Country sensation The Oracles with “Get out of my Hallway,” “You’re not Bad, You’re Just No Good (Is that Bad?),” “Beef Roast in the Oven,” and the holiday classic, “Sam Bass is Coming to Town.
I’d be Where the Fish Lives, and I’d be performing my greatest hit, the moving and tragic “Three Feet Tall, Pear Shaped and Stood the Whole Way” about a “little person” who gave up his seat on the bus only to be jettisoned out the window when the bus stopped short.
I’d name my band “The Band That Sang California Lady”.
We’d cover every song in a MSTied movie, except that one (I forget the name) in Track of the Moon Beast.
I just don’t care for that song.
The Killer Shrews.
We’d play Dixieland jazz.
Tonight only! The Teenage Stranglers, performing their hit single, “Yipes Stripes”.
Killer Ken and the Starwolves sing their hits, You’re Stuck Here, and Green Japanese Boy.
