Song-Inspired Band Names: Death Cab for Cutie

Death Cab for Cutie Inspired by the Bonzo Dog Do-Dah Band's 'Death Cab for Cutie'
Quite a pedigree to this odd little phrase: Neil Innes, who co-wrote 'Death Cab for Cutie' with Vivian Stanshall, says he came across it in an old pulp fiction magazine. Written as an Elvis parody, the Bonzo Dog Band song appeared in the Beatles' 'Magical Mystery Tour' film. Thirty years later, Pinwheel guitarist Ben Gibbard borrowed it for his new band's name.
