Names -> Stupid Band Names -> C
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: | ||
| Cake | Ah man! It makes me hungry! Mmmm! Cake! Gimmie some! | hekifier | ||
| Candy Skins | No women in the band but it sounds like a female porn name | Chris | ||
| Canned Heat | It is literally impossible for heat to be canned. | Jonathan S. | ||
| The Cardigans | (band member looking at self)"hmmmmm.... band name, the pants, no, no, the socks, not quite, the nikes, better, but still not it, the cardigans... yes, YES, YESSS, THE CARDIGANS, thats it. hey billy, roll me another doobie willya mate..." | metaxus | ||
| Carless Roadtrip | This is going to be a terrible roadtrip. Especially if its with family. They could have saved time by just calling it "Hitch Hike" | Travis | ||
| The Carpenters | Little did he know that, when Richard decided to name the band after himself and his sister, he would need to build a coffin for the latter. (So it is in bad taste. Sue me.) | MOR | ||
| The Cars | What was their inspiration? "Christine"? | newave | ||
| Cash Cash | Once again, a fine pick from the Department of Redundancies Department. | Jonathan S. | ||
| The Cave Singers | Geez. How old are these people?! | Qwee | ||
| Celtic Woman | Since "Woman" is singular, it would sound like the name of one solo singer. But in fact, "Celtic Woman" is a quintet (group of five) lead singers (all women), some of whom do solos on certain specific songs, plus several instrumental accompanists (which include both men and women). | Sam Bucus the elder | ||
| Chasing Victory | Have you caught it yet? | Travis | ||
| Cheap Trick | How much did the trick cost? | Travis | ||
| Cherry Poppin' Daddies | Incest is best! If you can't keep it in your pants, keep it in the family! Talk about EWWWW!!!! | Becky | ||
| Chihuahua Zycantah | Apparently a zycantah is some kind of hallucinogenic pancake from somewhere in South America. Maybe a chihuahua is what it makes you believe you are (If you try it when the moon is full are you a were-chihuahua?). | Chris | ||
| Children Of Bodom | These are grown men calling themselves children. Good luck pulling that off. Most children don't have facial hair. | Travis | ||
| Chocolate Watch Band | Yep, 60s again.... Catchy, but stupid. Maybe Hershey would like to try this one. | Dano | ||
| Chumbawamba | What does it mean? It sounds like something with native americans. It rymes. | Mike Florio | ||
| Chumbawamba | Just picture a native amazon rain forest tribe chanting it at a sacrifice ritual and you'll see what I mean. | Mac | ||
| Cinderella | Why would you name a heavy metal band after a girlie children's movie? | Screaming Mutt | ||
| Circle Of Dead Children | You don't need to look hard to see why this is stupid. | Jon Harrison | ||
| Clap Your Hands Say Yeah | That's not a name, THAT'S INSTRUCTIONS. Couldn't they have made the sensible choice most bands do and just name themselves for some sort of noun? | Jonathan S. | ||
| Clap Your Hands, Say Yeah | No! You do it! I don't want to! Stop bossing me around! | Travis | ||
| Climie Fisher | Slimy fish, er... | Chris | ||
| Cobra Starship | A starship filled with cobras going to space. Why? Even worse he sings "I Kissed A Boy", a parody of Katy Perry's "I Kissed A Girl". | Incest Boy | ||
| Cold | For a psuedo-heavy metal band, the name doesn't sound scary at all. A lot of pepole like the cold, especially skiers, snowboarders, fans of the Christmas season, and snow-plow geeks. And I thought "The Killers" was a lame name for a band. | The Skuz | ||
| Coldplay | It's just two random words put together | Natasha | ||
| Color Me Badd | They were trying to sound tough by calling themselves "bad" but were so bad they added a second D. | Novaheart | ||
| Color Me Badd | "Badd" isn't even a color. | John Phillips Screwdriver | ||
| Colorless Green Ideas | What? If the ideas are green, then they're not colorless. (So that's an oxymoron.) And another thing, how could ideas be colored anyway! This is bothering me a little too much. | hekifier | ||
| Company B | Doesn't quite fit in with the image of those who sang "Fascinated" in the late 1980s. Makes me think of "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy". | Vic George | ||
| Copyright | I like the band, however, it makes you wonder if they can ever do covers. They could've been spawned by the record companies against Napster. You can't sing their songs ever, or you'll be slapped with a lawsuit. | KangaMan | ||
| Counting Crows | Hmmm. Nothing to do here but smoke my joint and count all these crows in my yard. Hey, I got it! Lets call our manager dude....... | Christopher Dumas | ||
| Cowboy Junkies | Cool band, but really, do you know how big a needle you need to shoot up a cowboy! And damn, those spurs leave awful track marks! | Capricornus | ||
| Cowboy Mouth | The name sounds like a gum disease common in the American Southwest. | Todd W. Zimmerman | ||
| Crash Test Dummies | First of all, they must've been pretty dumb to come up with that name. Secondly, their most popular hit song is called "Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm". How dumb is that? | Joe | ||
| Crazy Town | The band must have been really stuck for names if they chose that. | Mushi | ||
| Crazy Town | I really want to believe that they named themselves after one of Velocity Girl's better known songs, but I should know better than to be so optimistic. | The Skuz | ||
| Crazy town/O-Town/My Town | what the hell is with towns/ WHO CARES ABOUT TOWNS. Obviously the pop idustry is obsesed with them | Rachel | ||
| Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young | Hey, here's the most famous of the bands with a "law firm" type name. | Tom Radigan | ||
| Crowforce | Little birds don't sound very forceful! | Chris | ||
| Crystal Castles | The name is terrible, and the music is even worse. It's not anything you'd associate with crystals or castles. | Rocky Mountain Hy | ||
| Crystal Method | I bought "crystal method" thinking I would try to loose weight listening to it. I didnt. I did however loose lots of sleep and thus, my job. I got hooked on it after a couple of uses, and it gave me unsightly blemishs! | Mitch | ||
| Curve | Grading on one for naming bands, I'd give this band an F- for creative effort. | newsound | ||
| Cute Is What We Aim For | Dumb on two levels. First, the name is somewhat long-winded (that's SIX words, mind you!); second, they're a heavy metal band. Yeah, they were being sarcastic when they chose the name, but their so-called joke is lost on me; neither they nor any other metal band ever "aim for cute", so the name isn't even plausible. | Jonathan S. | ||
| Cutting Crew | Think about this for a sec, here. Do they, like, like to cut things or something? THAT could lead to serious problems... | Bye-Gon Jinx the Master |

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.
