What's in a band name, Slackers?

Isn't amazing how some bands can have the absolutely stupidest name and go on to sell millions of records? I mean, who thought FOO FIGHTERS was a good name? Certainly not Dave Grohl, who once said it's "a stupid f'n name"!

On this week's episode I'll break down some of the oddest names for bands that had some measure of success, in spite of - or is it because of - the name.

We're talking about ORCHESTRAL MANOEUVRES IN THE DARK, OINGO BOINGO, and of course BUTTHOLE SURFERS! Plus, many more!

Let me know on socials some of your favorite weird, strange, or outright stupid band names.
