American entertainment website The AV Club has compiled a list of the worst band names in the world, at least from this year.
Some of the names will surprise you, others will shock and still others will have you scratching your head trying to figure out the inspiration behind them.
Heavy metal bands, as usual, provided plenty of fodder. Those who made the list included Engaged In Mutilating, My Son My Executioner and Cemetery Rapist. Screaming AfterBirth was another to get a mention.
Some of the more poetic, if melodramatic, names included The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart, Your Kisses Cause Crashes and Blessed By A Broken Heart.
Some bands took their inspiration from famous people including Flock Of Steven Seagals and E=MC Hammer, while others went for something a little more eclectic including Magically Delicious Smoking Skunk Monkey and The Hobo Nephews Of Uncle Frank.
Several bands also seemed to have a fondness for excrement, including the members of Diarrhea Till You Die, Anal Hearse and Crapulence.
For the far too cute file there were Eskimo Kisses For Mommy, Baby Birds Don't Drink Milk, The Cutest Puppy In The World and Justice Of The Unicorns.
Finally, in the just plain weird category there were Crane Your Swan Neck and Set My Friends On Fire.
