The strawberry was to get back to nature and the alarm clock was to "wake people up to their music." Yeesh! How about Blow Me and the Hootfish? Conversely, great band names are Boink!

I think The Butthole Surfers have a perfect name for the music they do and the place they occupied in that scene at that time. It has the 'bad word' in there bringing the crude shock thing a lot of hardcore/punk bands had in their name but it also evokes an absurd humorous image that is very much what you'd find in their music and it wasn't overplayed at the time they started, in the mid 80's. Like what's been said of Crywank their music wouldn't appeal to anyone who'd be super turned off by that name anyways.

If you think it's tough to justify Hoobastank, think how it is to be a lifelong, passionate fan of Queensryche. I love that band beyond most emotions I feel, but for fuck's sake, even when I was a kid it put me off. I know the backstory of why they chose it, (pressure to drop their previous name that was owned by a European band, and literally only a couple of days, {or hours according to some retellings} to come up with a name), and that they named it after a song Queen of Reich, where she's the bad guy at least. But holy shit, why would you want anything associated with yourself to come along with the word 'Reich', even if misspelled? There lyrics and interviews certainly don't point to any sympathies that way, but they really shoulda reconsidered in my opinion.

Reich just means country in German, and Reich spelled differently is country in nearly all other Germanic languages (except English) It's also a last name.

I had a friend on AOL message boards that grew up with the Hoobastank guys and explained the name. They were originally named “Hoobustank,” pronounced “Hoo Buh Stank,” basically being a corrupted version of “Her Butt Stinks.” When they were originally signed to Island, the label had them change the U to an A to make it a little less obvious, and they started saying that it comes from mispronouncing some street name or something because the record label didn’t like the idea of having a band basically called “Her Butt Stinks.” It’s kinda fuckin funny that this band is still going based around a goofy ass name they came up with in highschool. Good shit.

When I heard one of their songs on the radio and wanted to add it to a playlist, I couldn't, cause I couldn't find them. At least with "!!!" you can call them, like, "three exclamation points", but with AyOwA, you have to spell it out letter for letter, cause sounding it out just makes it sound like they're called Iowa even more, and it's so hard to remember.
