Last week, word got out that notable former child who famously put aftershave on his face once, Macaulay Culkin, was working on a band that covered Velvet Underground songs but with a pizza theme. The completely random assortment of Macaulay Culkin + Velvet Underground + pizza was like an equation for instant Facebook sharability. It was one kitten gif or doge meme away from exploding the internet. It was like someone had a giant board of random internet things they were throwing three darts at. Since we’d like to get in on the action, here are a few other bands we came up with that we’d like to see happen for internet purposes.1.
