They're still touring, too!

I like the Cherry Poppin’ Daddies tribute band, the Hymen Bustin Fathers

But they played at the Super Bowl halftime show once so they are okay /s

I remember when I was a pre teen and I wanted a Limp Bizkit CD for Christmas, my mother said that the name of the band sounded vulgar and she wouldn't get it for me. Instead she got me a Cherry Poppin' Daddies CD... Smh

I'm sure it was never about the band name. She probably heard Limp Bizkit on the radio and later in the day heard "Zoot Suit Riot" and was like "I know what will make my son fit in at Middle School. Big band swing music"

Sigh...

Who ever called them J.E.W.? Or when did they ever use that acronym themselves?

Or The Band.

Incorrect. It's understandable because we all make mistakes. But the assignment was "worst band name ever", not "best band name ever". When you're older you'll understand why he did it

Do you just say "seven pigs" or "Pigs 7"? Or do you literally say "pigs" seven times?

Are there seven of them?

(Looked it up, there are five of them and they abbreviate it to "Pigs x7".)

Yeah, the title of the thread is worst names ever. That's on an orthogonal axis with most likely to make an 11 year old boy giggle

No, Imagine Dragons is kind of cool... if you believe them when they say it's not their real band name. They originally came up with a phrase that meant something special to all of them, but they didn't think it would work as a band name, so they anagrammed it into Imagine Dragons (I assume some letters were reused or left off somehow). So there's this big mystery over what their real name is.

And that kind of plays into some dragon lore where if you know a dragon's true name, you have control over it. You don't know Imagine Dragons' true name — no one does. Perfectly acceptable if you think a band having a secret name is lame. They've said at some point they may reveal it, but they're afraid people will be disappointing, because as they originally said, it wouldn't make for a cool name.

That’s the one i was thinking of - for anybody who hasn’t heard of them: that’s not the band name. That’s the acronym of the band name. Each one of those letters belongs to a word

Cmon this is a great pun
