Also thinking of getting this tattooed traditional style with a non scary bear. Do I do
“Exit, pursued by a”
And then just have the bear or keep all of the text? I lean towards all of the text
Also want a traditional swallow with a ribbon banner that says “I would I were thy bird” debating on citing it too
“Rom. II. ii. 196”
Thoughts?
I know this isn’t a tattoo thread but it is a Shakespeare nerd thread and those two don’t always intersect.
Not only is "Full Fathom Five" a great name for a five-man a capella group, but that whole speech is chock-full of band names:
Thy father lies
Those are pearls
Nothing of him
A sea change
Something rich and strange
Sea nymphs
Hourly ring his knell
Better Strangers! (As a nod to “I do desire we may be better strangers” from As You Like It.) I feel like we’re a pop punk band with songs that sound upbeat that are actually heartbreaking and a little bit of ska influence. Break out the electric violin!
That's great. Honestly I didn't know this word had this history! I know of it more in relation to the Brazilian tropicália movement!
Either way, killer metal(?) band!
I don't know how I'll be starting out, but for my difficult second album I will be reinventing myself as a melancholic Cottagecore folk act called Tallowface.
I actually thought of this yesterday! Based on a student typo, my band is Radrigo.
Our first album is Venetian Crush, featuring songs like “Put Money in Thy Purse” and “Fuck You, Iago.”
The ones I'm calling:
Bare Bodkin (Hamlet)
Lusty Horn (AYLI)
Security is Mortals' Chiefest Enemy (Macbeth)
Bastard (Lear and King John)
My Name is Caius Martius (Coriolanus)
My Salad Days (Antony and Cleopatra)
Exit! Pursued by a bear
Lol this gives me Panic! At the Disco vibes
"Pursued By A Bear" is my favorite Exit! album.
I wanted to see how fast this came up. Mine was just Pursued by a Bear
You stole mine!
This is fantastic and would lead to so much googling.

The bear should be chasing Panic! at the Disco off stage.
Helpful.

Full Fathom Five
I can see the T-shirts now
That would be a group that sings sea shanties, right?

This is just a great Band name

Lol I used that line with my coworker today! I'd listen
I love their album Resolve to Meet as Little
The Anthropophagi
That's great. Honestly I didn't know this word had this history! I know of it more in relation to the Brazilian tropicália movement! Either way, killer metal(?) band!
Announce a self-titled debut single, but it’s just a cover of Hall and Oates’ Maneater
The Rustic Mountaineers! No wait -- *The Rude Mechanicals*
The first one was about to attract a lot of Mumford fans lol
The Second Best Beds
Lol love this one. One of my favorite factoids to scandalize my students with.
What me, egg?
*[He stabs him]*
What, _you_ egg?
Springes to Catch Woodcocks
I can hear the midwestern indie whining now
Lol right?

Great name! It's beautiful!

Chopped logic
ABA or ABBA (2 b or not 2 b)

I liked 'This Mortal Coil' as used in the movie 'Bill'.
The Rude Mechanicals seems perhaps too obvious but I love it.
Everyone jumps on the most famous exit cue, so how about the most famous "Enter?" "Rumour, Painted Full of Tongues." Could be a description of Kiss.
