Stupid Band Names:

This is a band, but it could be mistaken as the first and last name of a solo performer (which is NOT the case). Submitted by: Joe
I always thought it sounded too much like Rolls Royce, which is the name of a European car manufacturer. The fact that this band had a hit song called "Car Wash" sorta emphasizes that point. Submitted by: Cassandra
