Seriousness Name a Movie, Song, Group, ...etc, which title includes symbols.

PoP · 01-14-2015, 08:31 PM

and explain (or not, letting the discussion open) how the symbols are meaningful and help illustrating the matter.

I'll start with:

Se7en with its sideway "v" implying the seven sins.

and

Nymph()maniac with the iconic "()"

or

AC/DC with the slash reminescent of the lightening bolt charging this rock group.

and more obvious titles such as

The Hei$t blalantly $tating their goal.

Mike + The Mechanics (musical group)

U2 band originating from (although not confirmed -- not really) a secret operation spy plane of the same name by the Central Intelligence Agency in the United States.

Btw I like the AC/DC origin meaning. It's catchy.

Nomeansno, a Vancouver punk rock band had an album titled:

0 + 1 = 2

They are often credited as part of the genesis of Math Rock, just to stick with the numbers theme.

Five Style is another band that uses a number in its name (5ive Style) in some cases. Their first album was titled 5ive Style.

Chad and Jeremy are an English singing folk rock duo originating in the 1960s, comprising bespectacled Chad Stuart (born David Stuart Chadwick, December 10, 1941, Windermere, Cumbria) and Jeremy Clyde (born Michael Thomas Jeremy Clyde, March 22, 1941, Dorney, Buckinghamshire). They were part of the British Invasion, a large influx of British rock and pop musicians to the American music scene.

Pick up any Prince album and there will be symbols somewhere in at least one song title.

Also, if you go to his "the artist formerly know as" phase then his name was: O+->

UB40

Named for Unemployment Benefit, Form 40, the signing-on document issued to people claiming unemployment benefit from the UK government's Department of Health and Social Security (DHSS) at the time of the band's formation

Came to mind,

D⨁GⅢA which stylized letters appropriately introduce believers to architecture elements of gothic churches.

AL(|)ENS pictures a scary eyelid awakening reptilian-brain fears.

Ah, and also Fellini's 8½ where he can't find an idea to complete the scenario of his half finished movie.

(and honest, I resisted Googling for zillion of suggestions already answering the thread).
