butthole surfers


I always wondered if they surf buttholes, or are they surfers who are buttholes? And what would it mean to surf a butthole, anyway?

"Butthole Surfers" is not subtle. It's abusive slang for gays. Which is why it is arguably the most punk rock name for a band ever. The bandname was banned from some radio stations. It's a perfect name for that band.

Some awesome band names there.


The only one I can think of that fits here would be Death Cab for Cutie. Great music-terrible name.

Oh & The Beatles...... I know they might be the greatest thing since sliced bread but wtf were they thinking calling themselves this? And they hadn't even met Bob Dylan yet who introduced them to pot & acid. They came up with that lame name sober....

10,000 Maniacs--they could have been so much bigger if they had a better name. Natalie Merchant's voice is as smooth as silk, but that name kept a lot of potential fans away.

Not only did the name suck, but the "band" totally blew.
