Worst band name you've ever heard? [View all]

I am putting together a musical combo and we've tossed around some names. Until we decide, those will remain anonymous. Many of them are downright awful, in a myriad of ways.

As Spinal Tap taught us all, "There is a fine line between stupid and clever." That line can be even finer with regard to band names.

So I put it to you DU, please share:

What is the worst band name of which you've heard?

My two cents is from a flyer I was handed circa 2000 in NYC. Barnrey Rubble & The Cunt Stubble. Four Groovy Dudes is a close second, but for vastly different reasons.
