In “Here Comes the Circus,” Tom says, “It’s Thomas Edison and his electric child.” I thought: That could be a band name.” With that in mind, what riffs could be a name of a band?
Let’s hear ’em!

In relation to this week’s episode guide –
CRENSHAW AND THE NINE MINNOWS
You can change the spelling to MINNERS or MINNAHS. After all, it’s your band Dude or Dudette.
Aching for Air
;)
Monster a Go Go.
Knew Your Father I Did Tour 2018.
Mr. B and Naturals
With Special Guests
The Many Names Of Dave Ryder
I’M A VIRGIN!
And
Cabbage Patch Elvis

TIME TRANSPORT
I saw them at Concert For Castleton. PINK BOY was their opening act. It was the most awesome concert ever, man…
…aww, who am I trying to kid? I never went to Castleton.
‘Gamera Vs Guiron’ inspired band Traffic Accidents.
‘Red Zone Cuba’ inspired band Penny & The Broken Cigarettes.
‘The Wild World Of Batwoman’ inspired band Atomic Hearing Aid
I would pay a loonie, nay, a toonie, to see “Beer on the Sun” perform live.
From Night of the Blood Beast: “More Boobies”
(remember folks, it’s “what riffs could be a name of a band?” not “make up a name based on an episode”)
“This Is Where The Fish Live” Mealy faced front man named Jodie, Linda Ronsted looking back up singer Melissa.
Hit song “I hope he said peanuts!”
My choice (of course!) is Dark Grandmas of Death, a white-bread heavy metal band made up of nice older ladies. Hit songs would include “Curse of Loki” and “Smells Like Marlboros and Arpege.” Performances would be in church halls, and would end well before 9 p.m. bedtime.
“Slab Squatthrust and the Rock n’ Roll Fizzlebeefs”.
One free power bar with your ticket purchase.*
*available while supplies last
I heard the Rush cover band “Hey Hoser, Better Fix the Peg, eh?” is pretty good.
And in the tradition of Sly Stone with Up With People, James Brown with Starland Vocal Band, and George Clinton with The Ray Conniff Singers, please come experience Bruno Mars with The Mormon Tabernacle Choir!
Hildegard von Bingen – Unplugged.
The SRAs. Short for Stupid Repulsive Anteaters.
Naturally.
Featuring Aram “Rick” Fingal on vocals, Appollonia James on guitar, Pierre on bass, dual keyboardists Djamilla “Pat” Benatar and Felicia “Lola” Varley, and The Fat Man on drums. Tooby as roadie.
This one guy on a shuttle gave them a bad review, and much prefers The Stallions.
From Girl in the Gold Boots –
CRITTER AND THE PRETTY MINDS
I picture this as a Beach Boys trends into the Tijuana Brass group.
I saw “Sinbad: UNPLUGGED” a few years ago. Let me tell you… that man can rock a coma-inducing ballad like no other Russo-Finnish/Arabian hero wannabe I’ve ever seen in live concert. And I’ve seen a few.
From Boggy Creek II –
Band Name – MADNESS
Song – WINGS OF A DOVE (only this time a British Ska version)
Wait. What’s that? Already been done? –

Park Harpell.
“I knew they were Canadians!”
-courtesy of Zombie Nightmare
The Specialty Loaves (“Out of This World”), singing their hit song “Can I Butter Your Buns?”; The Satin Tap Pants (multiple episodes); Night on Butt Mountain (“Beast of Yucca Flats”), with their cutting-edge ballad “Here Where It’s Really Obscene”. This is what I’m going to be doing the rest of the weekend–I hear band names everywhere as it is . . .
The hostile French/African fusion group Captain Ron Codpiece on the Moon, singing “I Knew There Were Minkees On Board” and “You’re Beautiful–But Evil, Evil!”
“DickWeed”- The marijuana strain for people that nobody likes.
“The Pleasure Mouth”- ’nuff said.
“The Curtain Rod Sharpener”- Dull windows a problem? Can’t afford new drapes? Deer season caught you by surprise? Girlfriend blackmailing you? We got ya’ covered!
“Ape Hair”- Who wants bald Gorilla Glue?
“The Oscillating Dwarf”- Big cooling on a small budget.
“Rowsdower”- The company that put beer on the sun.
I misread band. I read ‘brand’. But these could work as bands too.
You know there must be at least three dozen “Beer on the Sun”‘s playing clubs right now.
On the alternative side, there’s always the Pantsless Salesmen.
(All our college-town clubs are owned by the same greedy management, so there’s no chance of seeing Posture Pals at one of the smaller places.)
I’m surprised nobody’s put “I thought you were Dale”
the Undersea Kingdom.
Danger to Myself and Others
Live at the Pantages theater…….The Moose Lip Omelets!
Tonight, from the Apollo…….. The Rice a Pipples!
A favorite Manos riff:
“It’s like having Joe Cocker as a bellhop”
So…
Joe Cocker and the Bellhops (his backup band), singing the haunting Torgo theme, Charredfinger, and other twisted hits!
The Bellhops moto: “You got a movie riff, we’ve got guitar riffs to match”
Lithium Cops and Johnny at the Fair — both out of Seattle!
“Future Cities of the Past”–from Prince of Space (I think)
Fruit to Declare?
A few more from “Here Comes The Circus”:
Yer Red Hot Moms
Beelzebub The Clown
Doin’ It Clown Style
IRON MOLE –
A lesser known band from the sixties British Invasion period. Top hits include “Mahar Mayhem “ and “Slave Girl Liberation”.
(Episode 1114 – At The Earth’s Core)
The Bacon Loving Bastards,
Singing “Drinking Beer On The Sun”
“The Dog’s Meat” have you seen them?
LOAD
TORCHURE!
“Gila Country”
“Kenny”
From I Accuse My Parents, the 80s new wave of “Liar! Liar! Liar!”
From Secret Agent Super Dragon, the holiday death metal of “Christmas Time Slaughterhouse”
From The Painted Hills, the indie folk rock of “The World Is Dying”
I suppose this is technically Rifftrax, but I like Such as Seals.
Seriously, no one wants to be The Band That Played California Lady?
Wander Around Aimlessly and Gain Weight (PRINCE OF SPACE) seems a bit long, maybe shortened to WAAGW. Alternately there’s Scott Scrawny and the Hard Gainers (HORROR OF PARTY BEACH). But my band would have to be Where The Fish Lives (TOUCH OF SATAN).
BUNGLE OR BOBBLE
DURN SMOOCHERS
MAISURE FOR MAISURE
JEEEEDDDDDD!
Well now you have. :P
“We’re ALSO David Warner”
I hear in their big finish, they throw pee all over the first two rows…
I left it for someone else to mention, but since no one has yet…. Idiot Control Now. Flying Over Trout. Kick the Nipple Beer. Pickle Mind.
“Watch Out For Snakes”
Ladies and Gentlemen…THE FRONTAL BIKE RACKS!!!!
Helium Addiction, featuring their hit song, “She’s Gonna Hurl!”
From Rifftrax: Mustache Dad
Troxartis, the name, the man, the band. If Prince did ‘80s heavy metal. Some song titles:
“Lavender Chiffon”
“Spirit in a Jar”
“Crystal of Power”
Merlin’s Chop! With songs such as “Believe In Magic (Or I’ll Kill You)”, “Sorry, Unitarian”, and “Old Lady Gets Killed”.
Merlin and his Holy Demons
Jazz band Felonius Monk. Their lengthy list of hits includes “Sliding Down A Wall Again”, My Heart Will Go Ahead On”, “Joe Don’s Stool”, “The Last Thing A Kielbasa Sees”, “Take A Look At My Good Stuff”, “Lieutentant Tiramisu”, and the poignant “Death of Goosio”.
Hi-Keeba! Opening act: Gym-Kata!
