The Hellhole

Wednesday, January 18, 2006

This afternoon's time-waster is brought to you courtesy of my friend Joy. Go to the link below and look at the picture. It's full of "visual puns" of band names. For example, the rocks rolling down the street are the Rolling Stones. How many bands can you name in the picture? Here is the link.

I couldn't believe how few I got, the obvious ones I missed and the bands I didn't guess even though I own many of their CDs. I was truly puzzled by the pink-handled scissors, but it turns out (if Alan's right with his guess) that it's a band I've never heard of.

  • I enjoyed looking through that.

    Is the guy being threatened by the Queen with the Sex Pistols King Crimson?

    And, believe it or not, I knew Scissor Sisters.

    There are many I haven't gotten yet.

    I guess these are all Virgin artists?

  • King Crimson is what my mom thinks. Bo and I think he looks more like a Prince than a King.

    I don't think it's limited to Virgin artists - doesn't seem like Iron Maiden or Dead Kennedys were on Virgin, but I'm not positive.

  • The Sex Pistols! Doh! I looked at that and got about three. I was pathetic. The Pet Shop Boys, Guns N Roses, Queen. I'll have to give it another look.

  • Sex Pistols? Damn, I couldn't figure out why vibrators were on guns. I knew the Scissor Sisters too. Cuz I'm young 'n hip, uh huh.

    Other than that, I got:

    Matchbox Twenty, Eagles, Smashing Pumpkins, Madonna, Led Zeppelin,
    Pet Shop Boys, Guns 'n Roses, The Postal Service, Spoon, Dead Kennedys, Cake, Garbage, Counting Crows, Pavement, Crowded House, The Fujis, Lemonheads, Black Flag, The Cars, Iron Maiden, Queen, Seal, Gorillaz...

    Okay, I'm posting this, so I can't take back any of my wrong guesses. Now I'm off to cheat.

  • Whoops, Black Crowes, not "counting". And, uh, Fujis, uh, no.

    Here's a link to the bands - http://community.livejournal.com/ohnotheydidnt/4552790.html

    Now I feel ashamed that I didn't get more.

  • Girls, we're all pathetic together. Except Lachele. See, I didn't get the Sex Pistols either. Know who did? MOM. It was bad enough that I had to ask my mom, "What's with the pink dildo things?" and even worse when the answer was a band I've listened to since back when records were those big black plastic things.

  • And now it will be even worse when weirdos arrive at my blog after googling "pink dildo sex".

  • For a fleeting, frightening moment, I didn't even understand how to navigate that thing, and I consider myself an avid listener of popular music, at least that of the 70's and 80's. Then I saw the Eagles, and my old mind clackity-cloonked back into place again and I could identify more.

    That was close.

  • Oh - because I wondered what that loud clackity-cloonk sound was...
