Rumour has it STP originally stood for Shirley Temple's Pussy, although they did have the earlier moniker Mighty Joe Young.

I remember an slightly obscure punk band playing student unions and similar dives about 12 years ago. The name still cracks me up to this day.... Fudgetunnel!

More to consider.........
Gorky's Zygotic Monkey. Skin Chimney. Amon Duul. An Emotional Fish. Goats Don't Shave.
My personal fave is that fine North American punk band, a fave of Ian Paisley, Dead Popes Society. I think they are quite popular with biggotted Rangers fans but not too hot in The Vatican........

Though pronounced monkey, it's actually Mynci, iirc, a Welsh band.

There debut was Animal (Fuck like a Beast) Saw 'em at Powerhouse in Birmingham in 1984. Great live act, shite music. The tour t-shirt was the subject of an obscenity law and I was clever enough to keep mine unworn to this day......worth a few quid (even if its too 'small' around the beer belly)

There used to be some classic names, but one that stands out is 'Bigfoot and the Groincrushers'
