Names -> Stupid Band Names -> W
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: | ||
| The Waitresses | I thought it was another all-girls band (like the Go-Gos) until I found out from the liner notes of their compilation album that it was mostly guys and a female vocal. Would've been cooler if it were an all-girl band! | Vic George | ||
| Wang Chung | Ok I know it is chinese for "perfect pitch" bit it still sounds like a porn star (Hong Kong's answer to John Holmes?) | Chris | ||
| Was (Not Was) | The past tense of the verb "to be" followed by its ungrammatically-correct contradiction in parentheses? Doesn't make any sense if you ask me. | nally | ||
| Ween | It reminds me too much of trying to get Puppies off of sucking thier mom's teats and getting them to eat dogfood! | anon | ||
| Weezer | Weezer sounds like a nerdy little band, but they are quite cool | Innotech | ||
| Wet Wet Wet | Naughty-sounding, naughty-sounding, naughty-sounding! | Jonathan S. | ||
| Wham! | Hmm...never name you band while watching old batman shows. Bang! Wham! Oh!!! | Savage Jigga | ||
| Wheatus | It sounds like cereal to me. | Travis | ||
| Wheatus | At first when I heard 'Teenage Dirtbag' on the radio I thought the DJ had said...foetus...ewwww . | Luja | ||
| Wheatus | It is actually a misspelled cereal name (Weetus). | space bob | ||
| Wheatus | Sounds like a miss-spelled breakfast cereal | Chris | ||
| Wheezer | What the........does everyone in the band have bronchitis or something.... | Caitlin O'Connell | ||
| Wheezer | Sounds like the lead singer is sick, doesn't it? | Kelly | ||
| The White Stripes | Were they out of the red stripes? | Rocky | ||
| White Town | You like sounding racist, don't you? | Jonathan S. | ||
| The Who | Stupid people think it's funny, when they hear the band name, to repeat, "The WHO?" hahaha... | Mason Perez | ||
| The Who | Did an owl think up that name or something? | BB Krak | ||
| The Why Store | What does a why store sell? Apparently, not very many albums. | fatboy | ||
| Wide Mouth Mason | Why does Mason have a wide mouth? Well, just think about it. Nuff said. | Vick M | ||
| Will to Power | Will Smith to Tyrone Power. Can you read me? | J.C. | ||
| Willy Colon | Must be his real name. Nobody would change their name to that. There is really a Michael Itchyanus too, but nothing to do with music as far as I know. | Chris | ||
| Wilson Phillips | Before hearing any of their songs, I thought this was a male R&B singer, so it was a little jarring to see three women. I probably confused them with Wilson Pickett, but that's still far too easy a mistake to make. | Cat | ||
| Wilson Phillips | Sounds like a firm of accountants | Chris |

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.
