Them Crooked What?: The Top Ten Weirdest Band Names of All Time

  1. (by far) Them Crooked Vultures. What the heck does that even mean? I don’t even want to know what a crooked vulture is.
  2. Penguin CafĂ© Orchestra. I actually like this name. Not that it’s not weird.
  3. Freelance Whales. What services would you hire a whale to do?
  4. When People Were Shorter and Lived by the Water.
  5.  The Dancing French Liberals of 1848.
  6. The Dead Bodyguards of Abraham Lincoln. That’s pretty depressing.
  7. Die Toten Hosen. Literally in German, “The dead pants”
  8. Hey Look Lettuce!
  9. If Pigs Could Talk Would You Still Eat Them? Very thought provoking. Really makes you really rethink your whole life. 
  10. James, What Are We Gonna Call Our Band? I wonder how this conversation went…

Play it again, Olaf! :The Top Ten Scandinavian Bands


1.    1. Peter Bjorn and John. Ok, I love these guys. Keep in mind this is about good music, not about popularity (I’m looking at you ABBA)
2.    2. Abba. Fine, I guess I just have to include them.
3.    3. The Hives. A much, much, much better band than Abba. I made a mistake putting Abba here.
4.    4. A-ha. One hit wonder of the 80’s. (Take on me=BEST SONG EVER)
5.    5. The Sounds
6.    6. The Ceasers
7.    7. Miiike Snow. A band. Not a person. No one in the band is named that either.
8.    8. The Hellacopters.
9.    9. Hanoi Rocks. Bad 80’s hair metal…. Bleecchhh
10  10. Kivimetsän Druidi. Finnish Folk Metal group whose name literally translates to “Druid of the Stone Forest”. Definitely my new fave band

Really Bad Lyrics #1

Song: Boom Boom Pow
Artist: Black Eyed Peas
Lyrics: Beat so good I'm steppin' on leprechauns!
What? Again, What? Sorry? Come Again? What have the little green people with the shamrocks ever done to you, will.i.am? I bet you were trying to steal there pot of gold, weren't you. Meanwhile, apl.de.ap and taboo are just standing in the back doing their erratic dance moves.

Welcome to my blog!

Hello good people of the blogosphere!
By weird fortune or perhaps fate,
you are now reading my blog.
First, lets get the introductions out of the way.
Hi, my name is Alex. I pride myself on being knowledgable on all
genres of music, as well as being funny. (I'm aslo gud att speling)
This blog will be about my passions. Making music funny.
As you may have noticed, much of music is bad. This is funny.
Also, there is music that is good. This I will try to tell you about.
This blog will include sections such as "Artists you should really listen to", "Band Cheat Sheets" which basically make you seem like you know a band even if you don't.
"Top Tens of Music", "Really Bad Lyrics", and "Who Would Win at ______, ____ or _____"(The obvious answer in that debate is that ____ is much better at ______ing than ____.)
Thank you for reading, and I hope you enjoy!
