Force your love of Pantera onto your child before they have the chance to disagree with your music choices! This bad boy is rain-resistant AND has a universal cupholder, which makes it perfect for festival season.

Fans who thought they were getting a Spinal Tap calendar were more than confused when they received a colander instead. The item came with a note that stated, “An irregularity in order fulfillment led to the production of colanders instead of calendars. We hope you find the enclosed item useful.”

4. Tenacious D rag

The item description states the rag is the size of a golf towel…but it’s not a golf towel.

U2 decided to play it safe with their ZooTV, Zooropa and Pop tour souvenirs.

7. Weezer Snuggie

Honestly, we think more bands should offer Snuggies with preorders. We’d collect that shit like we collect snapbacks.

Sol Republic teamed up with deadmau5’s cat, Professor Meowingtons, to create tiny headphones for your feline friend. They were VERY limited edition (only 10 were made) and sold at $1,000 a pop, but all the money went toward the ASPCA.

9. The Flaming Lips trembling fetus ornament 

Maybe it’s the music or the commercial in general, but this one freaks us out.

10. Ghost dildo

The Ghost Phallos Mortuus Ritual box set included a T-shirt, metal logo charm, bible case, “divorce scroll,” a butt plug and a Papa Emeritus II-shaped dildo. This box set could have been all yours for only $200.

OK, remember when we said the KISS casket was the most outrageous piece of merchandise? We take that back. For a mere $3.99, you can snag your air guitar some official KISS strings…we think.

14. Iceage “stalker kit”

Back in 2012, Danish punk band Iceage sold custom knives at their merch table along with the disclaimer: “No, you cannot ‘see’ it. No stabbing.” The band also began selling locks of their own hair on their online merch store. For only 20 euros, you could choose a lock of any band member’s hair. WHAT?!
