Correct! With the exception of Morton Koopa Jr. who is named after talk show host Morton Downey Jr., the Koopalings are named after famous musicians:

Lemmy
Iggy Pop
Ludwig van Beethoven
Roy Orbison
Wendy O. Williams
Larry Mullen Jr.

Staying on music. In 1993, Ain’t No Love (Ain’t No Use) was released by Sub Sub featuring Melanie Williams.

A few years later, Sub Sub became a very different group. What’s the name of the band they became?

Blur were known as Seymour in the early days, but were fundamentally the same band making the same music.

Sub Sub were chart dance/pop/electronic. And the band they became were in no way dance/pop/electronic.

Few more little clues there.

Stone roses were well before '93 and were already done and dusted by then


Except for the release of their 2nd album in 94 and their reunion in 2012.

Clue... one of their tracks featured on the FIFA computer game, some time between 2005 and 2007.

That can't be right, their first album was about 88/89 and that was before their popular happy house stuff like Fools Gold and Adored. I'll look forward to googling them when this quiz is over. I thought they were well into their court case by 1993.
