AC/DC
A band member saw AC/DC on a sewing machine. It stood for 'Alternating Current / Direct Current'. The band didn't realize it was also slang for bi-sexual, which caused a few misunderstandings in their early days.
BEE GEES
Although the press often refers to them as the 'Brothers Gibb', the band said that they took their name from two friends that helped them out in their early days in Australia, Bill Goode and a disc jockey named Bill Gates.
CILLA BLACK
British singer Cilla Black, had her stage name changed by accident. A reporter for the local paper remembered the wrong colour as her surname while writing a favourable review. Her real name is Cilla White.
CREEDANCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL
Originally called The Golliwogs, unconfirmed reports say the band took their new name from Norvel Creedence, a friend of band leader John Fogerty. John's favorite beer was called Clearwater, which, after it disappeared from the market for a time, was re-introduced by another brewery. The result: Creedence Clearwater Revival.
