Weird Music Wednesday: Unfortunately (?)-Named Musicians, Bands

1. "Whoopee" John Wilfaht was an accordionist and bandleader whose recording career goes back to the late 1920's. He advacned the variant of German-style polka music named for his home base of New Ulm, Minnesota, and his tunes were often punctuated with his hearty laughter. I've no idea whether his last name was a source of others' amusement when he was alive, but I can see it being a source of chuckles nowadays (hecne, his inclusion in a survey with this one's title). Are you amused by "Whoopee" John's last name?

2. Before helming his more successful Silver Bullet Band and the Bob Seger System before that, Bob Seger recorded a few singles leading Bob Seger and The Last Heard. Wonderful as their music may have been (I'll vouch for it, anyway), even a careful pronunciation of the group's name could be....problenatic. You, as I, do can see the trouble that radio and teen dance disc jockeys may have had pronouncing "the Last Heard," yes?

3. Lovely as her voice and visage may have been, Odia Coates is probably best remembered by many as the uncredited (in most releases of the song) duet partner of Paul Anka on what I believe is possibly T H E worst U.S. #1 pop hits of the 1970's, "(You're) Having My Baby." A n y w a y, it's no fault of Coates'; but, if her name's not already memoerable enough, I've always thought it rhymes well with "odious goats." Whether famous or not, is there anyone for whom yiou've a nickname and/.or memory-aiding device which might not be complimentary to the person to whom you've ascribed it?

4. The name of South African extreme metal band XAVLEGBMAOFFFASSSSITIMIWOAMNDUTROABCWAPWAEIIPPOHFFFX is an acronym for a tableau ridiculously vile as pretty much any in their field (see their full name here: https://www.discogs.com/artist/5283430-XAVLEGBMAOFFFASSSSITIMIWOAMNDUTROABCWAPWAEIIPPOHFFFX) . But, even with the purposeful provocation they endeavor to incite with their name, their concert excerpted in the music video accompanying this question must be one of the few they ever played, what with the effort of saying their abbreviated name.. Did you look up these goobers' band's name?
