As a former manager of Severed Scrotum (for like five minutes when I was in high school). I approve. I found their song "Eric Clapton Pushed His Kid" to be one of their best...

Necro'ing this thread to cast a qualified vote for Radio Birdman. Not the best band name, but definitely the best origin of a band name.
