Tall Dwarfs

The Tall Dwarfs were an alternative pop band in New Zealand in the 1980s. According to Wikipedia they still exist, though most likely only in the minds of their progenitors — musical luminaries who probably thought the Tall Dwarfs was a clever, and not tiresome name. They did not follow Tolkien’s convention in pluralising “dwarf” to “dwarves”, which is an opportunity missed.

Assiduous fans might be able to name a tune or two, but would be hard pressed to hum one.
