FAPARDOKLY - "Super Market" (1968)

 
The band name Fapardokly is derived from the names of the band members: FA-Fankhauser, PAR-Parrish, DO-Dodd, & KLY-Dick Lee. They kind of stretched it on the last name. 
It's kind of the same formula used by some people to name racehorses. 
I guess they never really expected for anybody to actually say it on the air back in 1968, and I think they were right!
 
Maybe sometimes it's better not to know what the band members looked like, but then I guess they did actually look like a band named Fapardokly
After they got a record deal, the record company convinced them to change their name to the more approachable Merrell Fankhauser & H.M.S. Bounty.
