I know 2/3rds of Lynyrd's Innards. That is all.

Does Diarrhea Pearlman count, or are we just focusing on takeoffs of musicians?

The Bourbon Tabernacle Choir.

The "hilarious" part of all this is a bit on the subjective side though isn't it? =)

Kim's question is wise.

The band Cher from Lawrence Kansas came under legal pressure so they became Cher UK. It was funny at the time, though maybe short of hilarious.

Don't forget Ted Zeppelin. Please feel free to forget Lenin and McCarthy. Keep a spot open in your brain for the Dave Gas Five, however.

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Sunday, 6 October 2002 20:19 (twenty-three years ago)

Ooops...Lenin and McCarthy was an album, not a band, so DEFINITELY forget it.

I used to know a coupla fellas who had an awful, sludgy band called Cornhole. They got bored with that and, for a few gigs before their untimely demise, they billed themselves as Emerson, Lake and Cornhole. I don't know if that fits the thread specs, but it's still just about my favorite band name ever.

― Lee G (Lee G), Monday, 7 October 2002 12:34 (twenty-three years ago)

This would be as good a time as any to mention my favourite band name of all time: Iron Bacon.

Can't believe none of you have mentioned Joan Armour-Plating...

Jefferson Airhead (had to become Airhead).

Okay so the last one of mine isn't a real name of a derivitive band - but it bloody should be! I did once see a Scottish Oasis tribute band by the crap name of "No-way-sis" at a gig in Brixton though...
