One group I will never forget although I have never heard their music -

          Ethel The Frog

They are a heavy metal band from England.  I believe they got their name from a
Monty Python skit.  They did a satire on the BBC (as usual) and had a TV show
called "Ethel The Frog".  After the opening credits, the host (John Cleese)
who introduced the show saying something like  "And tonight on Ethel
The Frog <someone> will discuss nuclear fusion" or something to
that effect.
