So many bands with "Whale" in the name

Oh, Said the Whale. I think they got this name from a Dr. Seuss book. Hmm...
Well, on Radio3 they were talking about bands with then name "Whale" in them and interviewed Whale Tooth, a Toronto popsome group whose latest song will be featured on everyone's favourite teenage drama Degrassi. Here's their MySpace page with some songs.

Apparently there are TONS of bands with "whale" in the name, including:
Or, The Whale
Pilot Whale 
Pink Dead Whale
Prints of Whales
Said the Whale
Sail a Whale
Selfish Whales
Simien the Whale
Sleep Whale 
TokyoSexWhale
Tommy and the Whale
Vulture Whale
The Whale/Fiat Lux
The Whale and the Wave
Whalebones  
Whale|Horse


But I think this is just indicative of the bigger dilemma: animal band names! Serisouly I don't think you're really cool unless there's an animal hanging out inside your band name. A Horse and His Boy? C'mon! I think A Horse and His Pony would be even hipper.
