The command line answer was so awesome that I had to recreate it myself and noticed that the solution doesn't take into account any plurals.
In the spirit of 'to the cloud', I added functionality to grab the plurals of the animal names (dog, dogs; goose, geese; ox, oxen) from freebase.
Below are the results I came up with for the singular and plural form added together. It seems like we can discount 'jay' as being a first name and the winner is indeed dog. Code and full list available at https://github.com/idrisr/bin/blob/master/animal_band

Where do I start?
I’m a huge financial nerd, and have spent an embarrassing amount of time talking to people about their money habits.
Here are the biggest mistakes people are making and how to fix them:
Not having a separate high interest savings account
Having a separate account allows you to see the results of all your hard work and keep your money separate so you're less tempted to spend it.
Plus with rates above 5.00%, the interest you can earn compared to most banks really adds up.

Overpaying on car insurance
You’ve heard it a million times before, but the average American family still overspends by $417/year on car insurance.
If you’ve been with the same insurer for years, chances are you are one of them.
Pull up Coverage.com, a free site that will compare prices for you, answer the questions on the page, and it will show you how much you could be saving.
That’s it. You’ll likely be saving a bunch of money. Here’s a link to give it a try.
Consistently being in debt
If you’ve got $10K+ in debt (credit cards…medical bills…anything really) you could use a debt relief program and potentially reduce by over 20%.
Here’s how to see if you qualify:
Head over to this Debt Relief comparison website here, then simply answer the questions to see if you qualify.
It’s as simple as that. You’ll likely end up paying less than you owed before and you could be debt free in as little as 2 years.
Missing out on free money to invest
It’s no secret that millionaires love investing, but for the rest of us, it can seem out of reach.
Times have changed. There are a number of investing platforms that will give you a bonus to open an account and get started. All you have to do is open the account and invest at least $25, and you could get up to $1000 in bonus.
Pretty sweet deal right? Here is a link to some of the best options.
Having bad credit
A low credit score can come back to bite you in so many ways in the future.
From that next rental application to getting approved for any type of loan or credit card, if you have a bad history with credit, the good news is you can fix it.
Head over to BankRate.com and answer a few questions to see if you qualify. It only takes a few minutes and could save you from a major upset down the line.
How to get started
Hope this helps! Here are the links to get started:
Have a separate savings account
Stop overpaying for car insurance
Finally get out of debt
Start investing with a free bonus
Fix your credit

I can think of a couple.
The Eagles
I mean, who doesn’t like an all-American rock band named after an all-American animal? And if you don’t think Hotel California is fire, then you’re officially crazy.
The Beatles
Listen kids, I know that beatles are insects, but I might as well classify them as animals for this answer. And who doesn’t love the Beatles?
The Monkees
Everyone loves a little bit of alternate spelling, right? And who doesn’t like an album called The Birds, The Bees And The Monkees?
Three Dog Night

Three Dog Night
It’s not named after an animal, per se, but it does have an animal in its name, so might as well put it on the list, right? Plus One Is The Loneliest Number is fire.
Whitesnake
What a badass name for an English hard rock band formed in the 70’s, am I right?
Def Leppard
This one is another alternate spelling that one of the members came up with while writing reviews for imaginary bands in his English class. The original spelling was supposed to ‘Deaf Leopard’, but all the band members agreed to change the spelling to ‘Def Leppard’ in order to make it sound less punk.
The Animals
I think this one answers your question directly! On an unrelated note, these are the guys who topped charts with House Of The Rising Sun!
Scorpions
These guys are a German heavy metal and rock band, and their songs are fire.
Arctic Monkeys
I don’t think I could have made this list without adding these guys! Too bad arctic monkeys aren’t actual animals… Also, Do I Wanna Know is great.
Gorillaz
These guys are pretty cool. They’re a British virtual band, and you get to explore their universe through their amazing animated music videos.
The Squids
A garage band from Los Angeles. Get this, they even have an album called O Shrek Yes. It’s weird, to say the least.
Stray Cats
The band bringin’ rockabilly back!
Beastie Boys
A beast is kind of an animal… right? Ha, not really. But you should go listen to Sabotage, it’s the song that got me hooked!
Hagfish
Man, hagfish (in real life) are nas-tay! I once caught one while fishing. It was pretty disgusting. Anywho, this band is quite far from disgusting. They’re a texan punk band with great music!
Imagine Dragons
Dragons are animals, okay, fight me. And these guys sure are awesome. Some of my faves are Believer, Radioactive, Demons...
A Flock Of Seagulls
This british pop-synth band is actually on tour right now! If you can catch one of their shows, I’d recommend going to it. Their music is amazing!
Toto
“We’re not in Kansas anymore, Toto…”. And you’d better believe that Africa is a bop! (Also, the music video is iconic.)
Counting Crows
This american rock band’s songs are far from the dissonant cries of a crow! Check out my favorite, Mr. Jones.
You can find a bunch of other bands named after animals on this website.

My second most offensive name for a band would be..

The Tony Danza TapDance Extravaganza.
The reason is not in the name, but how it was used. Danza called themselves that because they wanted to sell more tickets to live shows. Unknowing elderly people who like actually tapdancing would buy tickets and go to these deathcore shows and would be in for quite a shock! don’t find either band offensive, but I can imagine some people really would. Both bands are pretty good I think personally, but Danza has always been special.
Angel Splitter.
The name really speaks for itself, but would be pretty offensive for some religious people.
Catatonic Profanation.
Other honorable mentions would be:
Vampirecunt
Vulvodynia
Infant Annihlator
Dying Fetus
Entrenched in Epidermal Slippage
Cannibal Grandpa
Prostitute Disfigurement
Pathological Waste
Organectomy
Catatonic Profanation
Passenger of Shit
Septic Flesh
Dehumanizing Itatrain Worship
Signs of Omnicide
I Killed Everyone
Fatous Rump
Incestious Deformity
Multiple Rape
Human Barbeque
Necro-Abortion
Cannibal Abortion
Shotgun Abortion
Necrophagist
Implosive Disgorgence
The Forest Gump High Mile Marathon
Putrid Womb
Now before I get sick I’ll end this list..
Usually the album names are worse than the band titles, but the lyrical content takes the cake most cases!
Here’s the thing: I wish I had known these money secrets sooner. They’ve helped so many people save hundreds, secure their family’s future, and grow their bank accounts—myself included.
And honestly? Putting them to use was way easier than I expected. I bet you can knock out at least three or four of these right now—yes, even from your phone.
Don’t wait like I did. Go ahead and start using these money secrets today!
1. Cancel Your Car Insurance

Don’t wait like I did. Go ahead and start using these money secrets today!
1. Cancel Your Car Insurance
You might not even realize it, but your car insurance company is probably overcharging you. In fact, they’re kind of counting on you not noticing. Luckily, this problem is easy to fix.
Don’t waste your time browsing insurance sites for a better deal. A company called Insurify shows you all your options at once — people who do this save up to $996 per year.
If you tell them a bit about yourself and your vehicle, they’ll send you personalized quotes so you can compare them and find the best one for you.
Tired of overpaying for car insurance? It takes just five minutes to compare your options with Insurify and see how much you could save on car insurance.
2. You Can Become a Real Estate Investor for as Little as $10
Take a look at some of the world’s wealthiest people. What do they have in common? Many invest in large private real estate deals. And here’s the thing: There’s no reason you can’t, too — for as little as $10.
An investment called the Fundrise Flagship Fund lets you get started in the world of real estate by giving you access to a low-cost, diversified portfolio of private real estate. The best part? You don’t have to be the landlord. The Flagship Fund does all the heavy lifting.
With an initial investment as low as $10, your money will be invested in the Fund, which already owns more than $1 billion worth of real estate around the country, from apartment complexes to the thriving housing rental market to larger last-mile e-commerce logistics centers.
Want to invest more? Many investors choose to invest $1,000 or more. This is a Fund that can fit any type of investor’s needs. Once invested, you can track your performance from your phone and watch as properties are acquired, improved, and operated. As properties generate cash flow, you could earn money through quarterly dividend payments. And over time, you could earn money off the potential appreciation of the properties.
So if you want to get started in the world of real-estate investing, it takes just a few minutes to sign up and create an account with the Fundrise Flagship Fund.
This is a paid advertisement. Carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the Fundrise Real Estate Fund before investing. This and other information can be found in the Fund’s prospectus. Read them carefully before investing.
3. Stop Paying Your Credit Card Company
If you have credit card debt, you know. The anxiety, the interest rates, the fear you’re never going to escape… but a website called AmONE wants to help.
If you owe your credit card companies $100,000 or less, AmONE will match you with a low-interest loan you can use to pay off every single one of your balances.
The benefit? You’ll be left with one bill to pay each month. And because personal loans have lower interest rates (AmONE rates start at 6.40% APR), you’ll get out of debt that much faster.
It takes less than a minute and just 10 questions to see what loans you qualify for.
4. Earn $1000/Month by Reviewing Games and Products You Love
Okay, real talk—everything is crazy expensive right now, and let’s be honest, we could all use a little extra cash. But who has time for a second job?
Here’s the good news. You’re already playing games on your phone to kill time, relax, or just zone out. So why not make some extra cash while you’re at it?
With KashKick, you can actually get paid to play. No weird surveys, no endless ads, just real money for playing games you’d probably be playing anyway. Some people are even making over $1,000 a month just doing this!
Oh, and here’s a little pro tip: If you wanna cash out even faster, spending $2 on an in-app purchase to skip levels can help you hit your first $50+ payout way quicker.
Once you’ve got $10, you can cash out instantly through PayPal—no waiting around, just straight-up money in your account.
Seriously, you’re already playing—might as well make some money while you’re at it. Sign up for KashKick and start earning now!
5. Earn Up to $50 this Month By Answering Survey Questions About the News — It’s Anonymous
The news is a heated subject these days. It’s hard not to have an opinion on it.
Good news: A website called YouGov will pay you up to $50 or more this month just to answer survey questions about politics, the economy, and other hot news topics.
Plus, it’s totally anonymous, so no one will judge you for that hot take.
When you take a quick survey (some are less than three minutes), you’ll earn points you can exchange for up to $50 in cash or gift cards to places like Walmart and Amazon. Plus, Penny Hoarder readers will get an extra 500 points for registering and another 1,000 points after completing their first survey.
It takes just a few minutes to sign up and take your first survey, and you’ll receive your points immediately.
6. Earn as Much as $1K/Month Doing Simple Online Tasks
Is there such a thing as easy money? If you know your way around the web, there certainly is.
That’s because data is currency these days, and many companies are willing to pay cash for it — up to $1,000 per month.
Finding these companies can be time-consuming on your own. But a company called Freecash has compiled all sorts of quick cash tasks from about a dozen advertisers and market research companies thirsty for more data. Freecash has paid out over $13 million to users since 2019.
You can pick and choose your tasks and complete them at your convenience. The coins you earn from each completed task can be converted into things like Visa gift cards, Amazon gift cards, cryptocurrency or cold-hard PayPal cash.
Signing up for a Freecash account is easy and there’s no minimum amount you need to earn before you can cash out. And if you’ve got enough free time on your hands, you can join the ranks of Freecash users making more than $1,000 a month in extra cash.
Sign up here to see how much you could earn.
7. Ask This Company to Get a Big Chunk of Your Debt Forgiven
A company called National Debt Relief could convince your lenders to simply get rid of a big chunk of what you owe. No bankruptcy, no loans — you don’t even need to have good credit.
If you owe at least $10,000 in unsecured debt (credit card debt, personal loans, medical bills, etc.), National Debt Relief’s experts will build you a monthly payment plan. As your payments add up, they negotiate with your creditors to reduce the amount you owe. You then pay off the rest in a lump sum.
On average, you could become debt-free within 24 to 48 months. It takes less than a minute to sign up and see how much debt you could get rid of.
8. Get Up to $300 Just for Setting Up Direct Deposit With This Account
If you bank at a traditional brick-and-mortar bank, your money probably isn’t growing much (c’mon, 0.40% is basically nothing).
But there’s good news: With SoFi Checking and Savings (member FDIC), you stand to gain up to a hefty 3.80% APY on savings when you set up a direct deposit or have $5,000 or more in Qualifying Deposits and 0.50% APY on checking balances — savings APY is 10 times more than the national average.
Right now, a direct deposit of at least $1K not only sets you up for higher returns but also brings you closer to earning up to a $300 welcome bonus (terms apply).
You can easily deposit checks via your phone’s camera, transfer funds, and get customer service via chat or phone call. There are no account fees, no monthly fees and no overdraft fees. And your money is FDIC insured (up to $3M of additional FDIC insurance through the SoFi Insured Deposit Program).
It’s quick and easy to open an account with SoFi Checking and Savings (member FDIC) and watch your money grow faster than ever.

Stray Cats' name was both a subtle nod to Elvis Presley — the “hillbilly cat" — and to the common practice of calling people “cat" in the 1950s, the musical era they were most inspired by.
A Flock of Seagulls took their name from a lyric in the punk song “Toiler on the Sea", by the Stranglers.
Metal band Whitesnake (originally White Snake) weren't really named after an animal, but rather the, er, human trouser snake.

The Monkees' name was a play on the Beatles, while the Beatles got their inspiration from Buddy Holly's band, the Crickets.
The Byrds also took inspiration from the Beatles when they decided to ditch their original name, the Jet Set.
Buffalo Springfield didn't actually name themselves after the animal, but after a brand of steamroller: Buffalo-Springfield.
The Black Crowes were originally called Mr. Crowe's Garden, a name inspired by the British children's book Johnny Crow's Garden, by Leonard Leslie Brooks, and this eventually morphed into their final name.

How about bands that used real names that weren’t originally connected to the band?
Jethro Tull was an agriculturalist a century or two before rock and roll existed.
Greta Van Fleet is a person the band knows (or at least knows of) — never in the band, just has a cool name.
Leonard Skinner was a teacher at the high school of some members of Lynyrd Skynyrd.

The Added? As in your members, collectively, are the past-tense parts of summation?
Ew. No.
Unless, of course, you’re all 1st grade math teachers. But even then, ew. No!
You need something that grabs the attention, be it weird, rebellious, provocative, whatever!
It needs to feel witty and effortless, which is hard for math teachers, I know.

May I suggest the ol’ random Wikipedia page method?
Go to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Click ‘Random article’.
Repeat until you have a cool band name.
It took me about half a dozen goes before I settled on ‘Map Butterfly’, which I liked.
Incidentally, if you carry out the same method and then look at the third sentence of the random article, you can use that as a way of choosing the title of your first album.
W.A.S.P., White Lion, Great White, Whitesnake, Hawkwind, Steel Panther, Def Leppard, Scorpions, Black Widow, Lamb of God, Goatwhore, Pantera, Mastodon, Mammoth, Venom, King Kobra, Slash’s Snakepit. That’s all I can name off the top of my head.
Its unclear how it started, but the first rock n roll band with an animal name was probably Buddy Holly and the Crickets.
They clearly were one of the reasons the Beatles chose their name. After that, the Animals. And after that 100s o animal-named bands.
But back to the Crickets. Buddy had recorded a few songs under his name and was changing labels, so he needed a new name. They were considering bird names, as there were a number of bands they liked with bird names. I assume that they were the Ravens, the Orioles, and the Flamingos. All popular in the late 40s through the late 50s.

But then there was this sound on a recording that they didnt intend. A cricket chirping. They figured it out and jokingly said the cricket was now part of the band. And that how they got their name.
Totally just my impression of band name importance here, zero expertise in music marketing.
It doesn’t seem to matter too much what a band’s name is so long as they’re shit hot muso’s. For instance how useless is this band name I’m going to use as an example, it’s just so shit, so boring, so pathetic and lacking in creativity that it’s laughable- “The Beatles” -so intensely lame. I’d guess they’re the number one rock n’ roll band ever. They named their band after a boring garden insect and we held them high as we chanted their names and girls lost their minds. They were gods and still are to ma

I’d guess they’re the number one rock n’ roll band ever. They named their band after a boring garden insect and we held them high as we chanted their names and girls lost their minds. They were gods and still are to many. So shit band names can be seen as no problem.
If you can get a good name it’s better than what Lennon came up with for sure, an AC/DC, the Dead Kennedy’s, the Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy, Led Zeppelin, The Cure, Rage Against the Machine, Joy Division, the Dropkick Murphy’s, Canned Heat, the Queens of the Stone Age, Public Enemy etc. My personal favourite is an Australian band, TISM, or This Is Serious Mum. Vote 1 for humour value.
But then you get hugely important, financially kick arse money machine bands who are historically significant to the growth of modern music and particularly youth culture, and they’re called naff names like the Beatles, David Bowie, Michael Jackson, Elton John, the Beach Boys, and Nirvana. Yes nirvana, it’s some kind of sticker on some hippies shitty car and some soccer-mums sensible hybrid. It’s a crap band name that we’ve just affixed so tightly to the band that it *is* the band. The band actually changes the meaning of the hippie trippy airy fairy word nirvana, and they just do it with their talent.
I guess the record over the last 60 odd years or so would show that a bands name isn’t that important. But then maybe for merch it is?
I’m guessing you haven’t heard of Norteño music. I certainly hadn’t until a few years ago. Norteño is a style of Mexican pop music that incorporates elements of folk, rock, and a little Mariachi, but is squarely in the protest music tradition.
The greatest band that I know of who play in this style are Los Tigres del Norte, a brothers and cousins band that has been around since the late 60s (much like the Beach Boys).
What’s crazy is that I speak almost no Spanish, but I still get many of their messages. It’s hard not to understand songs about greedy government officials or vicious narcos hurtin

What’s crazy is that I speak almost no Spanish, but I still get many of their messages. It’s hard not to understand songs about greedy government officials or vicious narcos hurting regular people.
I’m not sure why Los Tigres del Norte’s music appeals to me so much, but I think that it is their ability to provoke empathy without cheap emotional pull. Plus, the musicianship is superb.
TL;DR. Los Tigres del Norte are a fantastic Mexican band, and they happen to have an animal name.

You have to have something you can talk about and your fans have to have something they can remember. What it is does not really matter, it should be pronounceable, maybe not Klingon and it should work on the internet so that fans can find your bandcamp page or whatever.
There are famous bands that had pretty odd names, e.g. there was one called 1910 Fruitgum Company or there is or was a band called Girlfriend, they are difficult to google. Also The The is kind of difficult though they are memorable once you have gotten the name. I am still trying to find something concrete about a singer calle

Also The The is kind of difficult though they are memorable once you have gotten the name. I am still trying to find something concrete about a singer called Liz Torres because there is an actress with the same name who is well-known (who was in Gilmore Girls), so she is having kind of bad luck in the Internet age (her music career was late 80s, so the internet was not a thing yet)
Hard to say, the Eagles were a great band that fused rock and roll, blues, country and western, and benefited from some enormous talents, Glen Frey, Don Henley, Joe Walsh, Bernie Leadon.

They were a very popular band with a tight sound that sold millions of records, some of their stuff like Hotel California was iconic. That said, I think the Animals who came out of Newcastle, England around the same time as the Beatles and were also part of the British Invasion are another great band with “animal in their name. A very R & B influenced band headed by a great singer Eric Burden, the Animals probably deserve some attention here. Then of course, there is the Byrds, who revolutionized the whole folk-rock genre and whose lead guitarist Roger McGuinn was a pioneer in using the 12 string electric...
With no name there is only a group. A band with no name is already an old hat name, or chorus line from an old album title someone else has covered.

Launch day. One memorable morning on our; “ Baron’s lake.” After weeks of rummaging, recycling and reconstruction during the summer holidays of 1969.
We agreed on a name and with some of Mum’s nail varnish; Julian painted our name; “Aljugoda.” On the letterbox - Al Ju Go Da. The first two letters of our names in age order. None of us forget our ship-raft-mate days, only the day it sank. The busy days before were the best; collecting old doors. palletes and drums, humping, scrounging six inch nails tools and rope.
A Band of brothers today? Highly unlikely as none of my Bros play an instrument. Being a one and only it’s time to call a band together of brothers in kind and time for what truly is all there is left for life to trust and hope for the music of heaven is as nothing to the music we make on earth.

The sulfur was determinedby oxidizing it to sulfate and precipitating the sulfate as BaSO4 (11).
The following procedures were usedto extract copper and cobalt from oxidized copper ore recycling equipmentand converter slag.1. Roasting the oixidized copper ore2. Roasting with dierent ratios of converter slag and oxidized copper ore3. Sulfurizing the samples (Oxidized copper ore and converter slag) under autoclave conditions, followedby roasting and then leaching with water.The sulfurization process was carried out in a 1-L Teflon reactor which was placed in a 1.3-L autoclave.
Direct roasting process
Roasting the samples obtained by sulphurization in the autoclaveDirect Roasting ProcessOxidized copper ore and mixtures in dierent ratios of oxidized copper to converter slag were roasted at600C for dierent lengths of time and consequently the ratios copper and cobalt which passed into solutionwere determined. For the roasting process, 10g samples were taken. The mass obtained at the end of theroasting process was dissolved in water and the solution was diluted to 250mL. The percentages of Cu and Cowhich passed into solution after roasting were determined to be 84% and 70%, respectively.
Then, dierentratios of converter slag and oxidized copper ore mixture were roasted and the percentages of copper andcobalt which passed into solution were determined to be 94% and 43% respectively.Then, the experiments were carried out by increasing the ratios of oxidized copper ore. THe percent-ages of Cu and Co were determined to be 85% and 50% respectively.Since the oxidized copper ore recycling equipment used in this study can not be enriched by flotation, various hydromet-allurgic methods are used in order to obtain copper and cobalt. As the copper and cobalt which exist in theore can not be disolved in acid, acidic leaching does not give a positive result. Whereas the method in thisstudy employed to transfer copp
