Moderators Amy Posted April 27, 2005 Moderators Share Posted April 27, 2005 Good topic! I always thought Hootie and the Blowfish was odd (and now that they have broken up--anyone see Triumph the Insult Comic Dog interviewing Darius Rucker? He was asking him about the break-up and said something like, "You were Hootie and the Blowfish, and now you just Blow?") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubes Horns and Buds Posted April 27, 2005 Author Share Posted April 27, 2005 Have you seen Hootie doing the Burger King Commercials? Hilarious. How fall they have fallen. I have a number of friends that went to South Carolina during their heyday in the early 90's. They probably signed the worst deal in history for the number of albums sold.

I saw them quite a few times for $5 covers. Incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Adams Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Slightly off-topic, but a fraternity flag football team I was on was named "Dare Meet". We purposely lost the first game and got our wish. In the school newspaper it stated that, "Jones Hall beat Dare Meet". We got in trouble for that one. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one that escaped me is how one intramural team in college got away with their name year after year. They called themselves CSMF.

Mark Hardy Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 I always sort of liked: Toad the Wet Sprocket Tiny Desk Unit Chocolate Watch Band Camper Van Beethoven Root Boy Slim and the Sex Change Band Crispy Ambulance "The Fugs" is a good one too. Apparently (IIRC) Norman Mailer used the word "fug" in his books in lieu of another, similar-sounding word, back in the days when censorship was still widespread.
