Werewolves on Monday Morning

Werewolves on Monday Morning (affectionately called WoSM by their biggest fans) is an American Indie Rock band from Hole Bottom, Yorkshire (yes, yes, that is a REAL town!).

They were originally founded by John Jeckyl and Mark Hyde as 'Vampires Weekends' but were forced to change their name after a possible lawsuit from a band with a similar name.
'Vampires Sunday' (their second name) was also challenged by that band, claiming that they owned the weekend!
A simple solution was therefore taken to change the Vampires into Werewolves, and the Sunday into Monday Morning. A great band was born.

Once they had a name, they could then buy instruments and uniforms (jeans and t-shirts). And finally they came up with some songs and a first LP simply called "Once bitten Twice Shy"

Their first single "Taste My Fangs" received considerable airplay on Yorkshire's finest hospital radio station, Kingstown Radio.

An excerpt:

Taste My Fangs (written by J.Jeckyl & M.Hyde)

Don't be scared, little girl
My bark is worse than my bite
I will make you twirl
When I get you in my sight
My dentures are so sharp
Just take a look

(chorus)

maxillary lateral incisor,
maxillary canine,

(second chorus)

mandibular first premolar,
mandibular second premolar,

Twerping for Mother Theresa

Twerping for Mother Theresa (aka TFMT) are a rock band from Gaylordsville, Connecticut; USA.

Founded in 1988 by musical twin brothers Dewy and Lewy McDougal, they made an impressive 12 records in their first year. Two more albums followed over the next 30 years, but none made a big impression on the general public. Luckily the McDougals are a large family, so TFMT managed to sell about 250 copies of each album.

But Twerping for Mother Theresa are now releasing their 15th album "Calcutta's Pleasure Hole" and they hope to finally make it big.

The first single 'Mother Mia' has been pre-released and contains some of the most mature and thought-provoking verses ever to come out of Gaylordsville.

Mother Mia by Twerping for Mother Theresa

Mother Mia, here we come again
Why Why, how can I have missed you?
Mother Mia, all the money spent
Buy bye, now we leave again
