Names -> Stupid Band Names -> T
These are the band names that we feel are just plain stupid. Bands pick the most absurd names, who wants to be known as a member of the "Butthole Surfers"? We only accept entries for this page that make fun of a band name. Just saying a band is lame (no matter how lame they might be) isn't a good reason for entry.
Name | Description | Submitted by: | ||
| T'Pau | Pronounced TUH-POW, the name is stupid because it's not even a word. What's funny is when hearing the band's name spoken it sounds like a sound effect from a Kung-Fu movie. | Cautious Lip | ||
| T'Pau | I heard this was taken from a Star Trek Vulcan character, but it sounds more like a sound effect from a comic book. | Vic George | ||
| Taco | Makes me wanna make a run to the border. | pauhead | ||
| Tai Mai Shu | Can the band members not tie their own shoes? That's what this reminds me of! | Vesta84 | ||
| Tai Mai Shu | I know it was supposed to be this way, but this name is REALLY creepy. | Mac | ||
| Take That | Take what? | Mads | ||
| Take That | Sounds like something you would say or hear just before someone you get your head kicked in by some drunken street mugger. | JamPot | ||
| Talk Talk | Is that a request? ...a demand? ...what? A Band Name? Then why didn't you call it Sing Sing, or didn't you want to remind people of the prison (where the warden would force you to "talk! talk!" anyway) | Da Buck | ||
| The Tea Party | Mad hatters tea party? Boston Tea Party? or just little girls playing with dolls houses? | Chris | ||
| Teenage Head | For American releases, they changed their name to Teenage Heads. It still sounds obscene | whistledog | ||
| Tegan and Sara | It sounds like they ripped their name off from Doctor Who. (The show had two characters called Tegan Jovanka and Sarah Jane Smith) | Jonathan S. | ||
| The The | From the Department of Redundancies Department | Marc | ||
| The The | With the rule that "The" does not count towards alphabetization, this band technically has no name. | Jake | ||
| The The | Really. There was once a band named The The. Who thought up that name? Porky Pig?!? | Stockton | ||
| Therion | The band is cool, but the name kinda makes me think of a Pokemon | Mac | ||
| They Might Be Giants | They might be giants......or they might not be giants........ | Annie | ||
| They Might Be Giants | They might be giants. Or they might not. What an interesting subject | Sarah | ||
| They Might Be Giants | Are they all exceptionally tall or do they just overestimate their musical talents compared to others? | Alderia | ||
| Third Eye Blind | What's the use of having a third eye if it's blind? | Annie | ||
| Thirty Odd Foot Of Grunts | Russell (Gladiator) Crowe's band. Waaaay too pretentious. | Chris Kuan | ||
| Thompson Twins | An ultimate misnomer. Their name isn't Thompson and they aren't twins. | Aaron | ||
| Three Dog Night | I know it's supposed to be some sort of Southern slang term, but for the rest of us who aren't familiar with it or what it's supposed to mean, the name just looks plain silly. | Tom Radigan | ||
| Thrice | This band either can't count, likes rice, can't spell...or all three. (Would have made sense if there were 3 people in the band.) | Qwee | ||
| TinTin | There is a rather boring cartoon named TinTin. Evidently THEY thought it was a stupid band name, because they sued Stephen Duffy for using it. Or maybe they thought it was a cool band name, but didn't want it implied that their cartoon was cool by association. Maybe he should have tried CopperCopper, but would've probably been sued by the police(the cops, not the band). | LeeSa | ||
| Toad the Wet Sprocket | Sounds like an infectious disease | Sumanto | ||
| Toadies | Oh, PLEASE. You'd really like to be known as someone's wormy servants? | Jonathan S. | ||
| The Toadies | Some say if you lick their CD, you'll get high. | J.C. | ||
| Together | Together? whos together? Bada bing | Mike | ||
| Tones on Tail | Sounds like trying to fart in tune | Chris | ||
| Tony Basil | Sounds like some new pizza topping such as new and improved ....basil | ~Vickle-Pickle~ | ||
| Tool | Apparently, you have to be one to join the band. | J.C. | ||
| Toploader | Yes, its how I load a CD into my Sony Discman | Jason | ||
| Toploader | I know its a spliff but it still sounds like a 1970's washing machine (or a Betamax VCR) | Chris | ||
| Toto | We're not in Kansas (or Africa) anymore. | Chris Kuan | ||
| Traffic | Must have been a lot of it in whatever recording studio this band was in. | Vic George | ||
| Treble Charger | This is about as original as Bass Booster... | Derek | ||
| Treble Charger | 1) it sounds like an instrument who's bettery can be charged before you can use it 2) it makes ya think they like guns...... | ~Vickle-Pickle~ | ||
| Tree63 | Can you imagine going into a park where even all the trees are numbered? | Vic George | ||
| Tree63 | It reminds me of the AOL screen name of some idiot who thinks "Hey, I'm being really deep here." or is on acid. In fact, I seriously think all these stupid band names with numbers at the end originated as AOL screen names, most of which were randomly generated by AOL upon the discovery that your desired name is taken. Band6784832928188912 is probably next. | Cel-Chan | ||
| Treponem Pal | I don't know what it means (the band is French) but the combination of a (maybe only British) brand of dog food with the medieval practice of trepanning (drilling holes in the skull) is just too wierd to think about! | Chris | ||
| Trick Daddy | Unless he's David Copperfeild, I don't understand. | Junior | ||
| Tripping Daisy | A daisy ate a funny mushroom and is tripping? | Skip | ||
| Tupac Shakur | Sounds to me like a lesser known Jewish festival | maynardjames | ||
| Two People | 2 minimalist! | Chris |

Submissions Are Accepted Again
Much like the stupid song lyrics page, I get a lot of submissions for this page. More than I can really handle. The problem is that I get a lot of "Blink 182 is stupid 'cuz I said so" submissions, which I have to waste time deleting (though not much). I also get a lot of submissions that just aren't funny. I guess the real problem is that the word stupid can mean so many things, and hence every band name could be considered stupid.
So in short, don't bother sending me stupid email about this stupid page, or you're stupid.
If you have a creative/humorous idea, please submit it.
