STEELY DAN
Named after a dildo in the William Burroughs novel 'Naked Lunch'. According to Burroughs, the Steely Dan was a metal dildo that an evil German bulldyke prostitute crushed using her nether regions.
HAH!

Laugh if you want to, really is kinda funny, 'cause the world is a car and you're the crash test dummy.

Some of these are pretty interesting ...
CROSBY, STILLS AND NASH
While still trying to decide on a name for the new group, the trio considered calling themselves The Frozen Noses as a vague reference to their growing cocaine habit.
DEEP PURPLE
Guitarist Ritchie Blackmore's grandmother liked the Bing Crosby song "Deep Purple".
DIRE STRAITS
Their name describes the financial situation they were in when forming the band.
JUDAS PRIEST
Taken from the Bob Dylan tune "The ballad of Frankie Lee and Judas Priest".
NAZARETH
The group who gave us "Love Hurts" in 1976 took their name from the first line of The Band's classic song "The Weight" ("I pulled into Nazareth / Was feelin' 'bout half past dead.")
