In my experience with modern music, I have come across some pretty amazing band names. Five For Fighting, Wu Tang Clan and TV on the Radio are great. Bands like these have great names, and they are very open about where their names come from. But there are some bands that I just have no idea what the deal is.

For example: Ben Fold’s Five. There are three of them. Or, is it a typo and “Fold’s” should not be the possessive apostrophe s, and should be the verb “folds” as in “to fold”. Was he playing a poker game, and folded? Or, was he making his and 4 other roommates’ beds and thus was folding five sheets? Huh? Either way, Mr. Folds, if you’re out there, you owe us an explanation.

Bowling For Soup? I mean, that’s just silly. Unless you’re hungry or have a cold, you should really be bowling for money; or at least a big trophy.

Barenaked Ladies. Well, I bought a ticket and, um… was very disappointed.
