Starship Krupa Posted June 1, 2024 Posted June 1, 2024 (edited) A favorite game of Frontier Records' staffers back in the early 90's. Slap together as many musical artist names as can share syllables or words. The more incongruous the better. The more names stuck together the better. I will get the ball rolling with the following examples: Ice Tijuana Brass Spacemen Three Dog Night Ranger R.E.M.inem St. EtienneRBQ White Zombie Geesus And Mary Chain Gary Numanfred Mann and the Earth Band Neu! Christy Minstrels Led Zeppelinda Ronstadt Einstürzende Neubauten CC The Whotie and the Blowfish Genesisters of Mercy Robert Craydle of Filth Duran Durancid Juliana Hatfield and the North Chicagorillaz Sergio Mendestiny's Child King Crimsons of the Pioneers Camelton John Steely Danzig Moody Blues Traveler Le Tigretful Dead Sun Ramones Carole King Diamond Cansas Babystie Boys II Men Without Hats Abbaha Men At Work Napalm Death Cab For Cutina Turner LaBelle and Sebastian Liz Pharoah Sanders Gang of Four Tops Olivia Newton John Coltrane Van Haleonard Cohen My Bloody Valentiny Tim Radiohead East George Bensonic Youth High Llamastodon Jethro Tulrich Schnauss Thomas Dolbeach Boys Captain and Tennille Young Husker Doobie Bros.

The Bapinator seems to be going for more of a Transporter Accident thing than portmanteaux, but no less entertaining for that.... One of the reasons I love these is that my brain treats me to (or inflicts upon me) a vivid mental picture of the artists in the name sharing a bill, or even sharing the stage and/or a repertoire. Which makes ones like "The The Band" or "King Crimsons of the Pioneers" or "Desi Arnazareth" kinda convulsing. "This is the daaaay stage fright will surely reign....." "Call her moooonchild, riding through the canyon on a pony. Moo moo moo moonchild...." (Lucy, hoping to get invited to her uncle's estate in Scotland, tries to get her cousin's hard rock band a gig at Ricky's club) Ricky (staring at sheet music): "Loosey! What are this lyrics? Who rice stuff like these?" Ricky (raises eyebrows): "Nau. Yoor. Maissene weeth....a sone off a BEESH?" (ha ha ha ha ha ha ha) Ricky (puzzled): "They trynoo ged a tan or sumtheen." (ha ha ha ha ha ha ha) Lucy (glares): "As if 'babaloo' is any better." (HAA ha ha ha ha ha ha) (Fred and Ethel enter) Fred (points thumb at Ethel): "Hey Rick, look what I found bobbin' in OUR loo just this mornin'!" (grooooan) Ethel: "FRED!" 1
