    Song-Inspired Band Names: The Music Titles That Became Group Monikers

    You're starting a musical career but don't know what to call yourself or your band? Well, look no further than your record collection -- which is exactly how the following acts, finding inspiration in various song titles, chose their names.

    Lady GaGa
    Inspired by Queen's 'Radio Ga Ga'

    The electronic dance diva was christened Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, which definitely called for shortening. Her producer Rob Fusari based her snappier name on Queen's hit 'Radio Ga-Ga,' likening her glammed-out pop vocal approach to Freddie Mercury.

    She is the strangest thing I've ever seen. I saw her on American Idol and was shocked. If she had been a contestant Simo would have run her off. She might have done well on Lawence Welk with her bubbles, but this is 2009.

    I saw that thing on American Idol- that was horrible, she sucked. Did they pay her for that? I would want a refund.

    You people with the neg comments need to move into this century! Her music is in ALL the dance clubs! Plus the fact that she'll make more money in one year than most of you will in a lifetime!! Jealous b/c she's a bit different?? I think so!!!

    Lady Ga Ga is quite strange and odd looking, yes. Although she may be popular in dance clubs and on radio, I must agree with the person that said she was awful on American Idol. She should probably do as Britney Spears does: Lip-sync it. Instead of singing live, let's just stick to the "recorded sessions only, please.

    Yes, her eyelashes are a bit much... but she is a Hot dancer, singer, and overall performer. Give her some credit!
