For years, some of the people in our house have found it amusing to listen for random phrases that would make good names for fictitious songs, bands, and/or albums.
Starter cultures are everywhere, for example, this fairly useful article on how to cultivate discipline (and get smarter) by staring at marshmallows. http://www.dailygood.org/view.php?qid=4668
Admittedly, the Hardy Family did not invent this practice. I first appreciated the fun of it while reading the late, great Spy magazine, who took what would now be called memes, I suppose, from It's a Wonderful Life and parsed them into some hilarious bands and songs,
including:
Sentimental Hogwash, "Don't Hurt My Sore Ear Again," by Sentimental Hogwash
Flaming Rum Punch, "I Feel Like A Bootlegger's Wife,"
and so on.
