Clap Your Hands Say Yeah is, by far, the stupidest band name ever.

Worse than "Godspeed You! Black Emperor"?

Close, but as [livejournal.com profile] doctroid put it, it gets a pass because it's a reference to a Japanese movie. And Death Cab for Cutie, which is also pretty damn stupid, is a reference to some obscure `60s song.

Obscure for you, maybe, but not every pop song qualifies for its own Wikipedia entry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_Cab_for_Cutie_(song)).

Jello Biafra's rant "Names for Bands", mostly given as an excuse to rant about the lack of creative skills among the youth of today, has become a resource for band names (http://72.14.203.104/search?q=cache:iv-uO455t9IJ:rateyourmusic.com/list/JohnBuckWLD/jello_biafras_names_for_bands__new_and_improved___he_writes_them_down__hasnt_anyone_else_+%22jello+biafra%22+%22names+for+bands%22&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=us&client=safari) as well. I don't know what to think about that. I just don't know.

"67 Video Sex Pope"

I did always wonder where [livejournal.com profile] vspope got his handle.

They somewhat notoriously (and obnoxiously, if you're trying to keep these things organized in iTunes) moved the bang once or twice, because in the middle there apparently best matches its position in the original title.

A spinoff band with the vague and mysterious-sounding name A Silver Mount Zion changed it to The Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra & Tra-La-La Band for the second album.
