Unique & Odd Names What are names of singers or groups that you think are unusual? I'll put down a few for example:
Strawberry Alarm Clock Hootie and the Blowfish Tone Loc Soulja Boy Tell 'Em You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

I remember those guys. They had a cool album cover that looked like Meet the Beatles. Were any of them black?
There's also a Florida band now called Black Kids (two of whom are 1/2 black; three of whom are white). Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

I've always thought The Homosexuals had a cool band name -- especially given that all the guys, I think, are straight. Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

Some of the kids that were yelling "I'm black and I'm proud" on James Brown's song weren't black either. You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

I've never heard their music, but I remember the name.

50% of band names in the marginal genres are unique and odd, so you might just as well read the a-z list on discogs.
