...based their name on another bands song?
Here's a couple to get you started:

Death Cab For Cutie
Skid Row...
Can you think of any others?

Eric's Trip after a Sonic Youth song.
Rocket From The Crypt, based after Rocket From The Tombs.
Dinosaur Jr. had to add the Jr. when an older band named Dinosaur tried suing them.
Judas Priest took their name from Bob Dylan's "The Ballad of Frankie Lee & Judas Priest".
Then there's The Jon Cougar Concentration Camp and R.E.O. Speeddealer. These need no explanation.

I'm not positive about this, but when Syd Barrett and the members of Pink Floyd were just getting started, I believe they were called Megadeth. I don't even know if it was all of the members of Pink Floyd.. but I remember reading that somewhere. I found it pretty interesting.
