Chance BlissThe strength of a GRIZZLY, the reflexes of a PUMA, and the wisdom of a MAN.

Here’s a fun game to play. Take a band’s name and do a mash up with a book’s name. Coudal Partners calls it “Booking Bands”. Here are some of my favorites:

• Great White Expectations (Anything with 80s hair bands works for me)
• Horton Hears a Hoobastank (This just sounds nasty)
• A Tale of Two Bay City Rollers (“Turn off the soccer game and put on the Bay City Rollers” – So I married an Axe Murderer)
• Mein Camper Van Beethoven (Good punk band name)
• Corey Hart of Darkness (This works on so many levels…”I wear my sunglasses at night so I can…”)
• Slaughterhouse Jackson Five (Disturbing)

View the full list.

Here are some of my own.

• The Lord of the Sex Pistols
• The Handmaid’s Black Sabbath
• A Farewell to .38 Special
• The World According to Molly Hatch
• The Satanic Fat Boys
• A Room with a Foreigner
• Gloria Estefan and the Art of Miami Sound Maintenance
• Naked Hair Cut 100
• The Cult of Innocence
• The Call of Los Lobos

Some good ones from Matt…

• Into Thin Air Supply (Genius)
• The Velveteen Revolver (Soft, plush and deadly)
• Oliver Twisted Sister (We’re not gonna take it! Anymore!)
• Booker T-Factor Diet (Unexpected use of popular diet book. Good work.)
