To play this, you select phrases from or references to specific badfics or sporkings of badfics which you think would be a good name for a band and/or a song. For bonus points, describe what kind of music a band with that name would play.

Something like these:

Provide links to the badfics/sporkings in question so we can see what you're on about.

If I were in a band... by Maudlin Hart on 2010-02-12 13:03:00 UTC Reply

It would be called For SCIENCE!

Physic In Their Elements from the very problematic misspellings in Backlash's Story. I'm thinking something like Jonathon Coulton's Mandlebrot Set, but without the mathematical accuracy.

Trenchcoat Martens, playing such songs as "What the hell are you?" flying in from the Chess badfic, to the tune of The Who's "Who Are You".
Speaking of what you're on about... by Neshomeh on 2010-02-10 19:57:00 UTC Reply

I think it might help kick-start things if you gave us a few examples yourself. It's your idea, after all. {= )

That said, Barid and I DID have some fun coming up with band names based on stuff in C*l*br**n, but I'm not sure we should post them on this supposedly family-safe Board. ^_^;

Okay ... current favourite is "Unexpected Unicorn". by Laburnum on 2010-02-10 22:08:00 UTC Reply

A reference to:
1) my own sporking of "Martin's First Time" in which Martin is totally unsurprised by the random mention of a unicorn: http://chelonianmobile.livejournal.com/2007/08/10/
2) a weird Twilight one with the worst extended metaphor ever: http://community.livejournal.com/itslikewhat/2336.html

Both links are not-worksafe.

"My Immortal" gives us the wonderful band name "BloodyGothicRose666":

I also reckon there is at least one line in there which would make a good song title for said band: "Why Couldn't Satan Have Made Me Less Beautiful?"

Ooh ... "Extended Cow Metaphor" is a good one. by Laburnum on 2010-02-11 17:56:00 UTC Reply
