I Am Not Shazam/Music: Difference between revisions

*** It's also implied in the movie that his name is Floyd Pinkerton. Which contradicts the phone call, although it could be that Floyd Pinkerton took the stage name of Pink Floyd. The kids in his youth call him, "Pinky".

** Referenced in the season 4 finale of [[Bones]].

* Jethro Tull often had the same problem. They took their name from the Englishman (1674-1741) who invented the seed drill.

** This was referenced in ''[[Armageddon]]'', when Oscar Choi (played by Owen Wilson) says to a NASA psychologist (played by the legendary Udo Kier), "I tell you one thing that really drives me nuts, is people who think that Jethro Tull is just a person in the band." (To which the psychologist replied, "Who is Jethro Tull?")

* Originally [[Alice Cooper]] was just the name of the band. After the band broke up, lead singer Vincent Furnier changed his name, thus averting this trope afterward.

** Before the band broke up, they referenced this trope in the song "Be My Lover":

* A similar example: when Robin Trower left [[Procol Harum]], he formed a new band. The band was named...Robin Trower. No real difference in practical terms, though it might be surprising to find their albums under "R" instead of "T".

* Alternately, [[Marilyn Manson]] is the name of ''both'' a band and its [[Face of the Band|infinitely more well known]] lead singer (and no, not one of the albums credited to "Marilyn Manson" is a solo effort by their singer, despite the fact he's the last remaining original member of the band at this point).

* When [[Procol Harum]] performed on a talk show, they were naturally asked which one was Procol.

* [[Daniel Amos]] is not the name of anyone in the band, but rather two books of the Bible.

* Even though most/all members of Eisley are related, their shared last name is [[Du Pree]], not Eisley. The name is just a holdover from the band's former name, Moss Eisley, a barely disguised ''[[Star Wars]]'' reference.

* Similar to the above examples, [[Judas Priest]] is the name of the band itself, not the name of the singer of the band.
