There are cover bands and then there are tribute bands. The former might be able to pump out some decently convincing AC/DC covers for a frat party, but the latter lives, breathes, and eerily replicates the lives of the band members. These bands often have an additional twist: You all love a certain arena metal band, plus you’re all ladies? Perfect. Really into Led Zeppelin, but also reggae? Excellent. You happen to all worship the Misfits and each weigh over 250 pounds? Oh yes, that’s the stuff from which hilarious tribute acts are made. Click through to count down, in no particular order, the 10 funniest tribute bands we could find.
1. The Misfats
Billing themselves as “the fattest Misfits cover band ever!” — and you’d be hard-pressed to prove them wrong — the Misfats proudly change all the lyrics of Misfits songs to be fat-friendly. That means “20 Eyes” becomes “20 Pies,” and the word “martian” becomes “lardass.” And ladies, you’re in luck: they’re looking for a chubby cover girl Misfat. Bring your A-game and you might be able to “waddle amongst” them. Listen to some of their music here.

Puerto Rican Chicago tribute band – Chicano
My friends have an Elvis Presley tribute band called The Pelvis Breastlies.
Too bad you don’t have a sometimes LA band called Nudist Priest. Yes, all Nudist Priest covers done by guys completely in the nude (except for some leather cuffs, dog collars, etc.). Don’t know if they’ve played in a while. All great musicians, fun show.
Where’s Dread Zeppelin? You know, the Zep/Reggae cover band. How about Hell’s Bell’s? Seattle based all women AC/DC cover band. They rock out as well as the originals (I’ve seen both).
The Bon Jovi tribute band “By Jovi”.

It’s Noel Gallagher not Noah Gallagher
Where’s Richmond, VA’s FAT BENATAR?!
In Providence, RI there was a band called Violent Anal Death and eventually the lead singer went out west and played with a Green Day member in the band the Frustrators. However, while in Providence the V.A.D. guys did form two Tribute groups. One was called Ramush and they did Rush songs w/ only three chords and in the style of the Ramones. They other better group was Black Sinatra, which was Black Sabbath songs done in a Frank Sinatra style. Their best song was a little track called “Mac the Paranoid”
