My team needs help with fancy dress ideas!
Discussion
My team at work are participating in a sailing challenge (8 of us - 5 guys, 3 ladies), and there's a fancy dress night in which the winners get some sort of prize. The theme is 'songs/artists'. We also need a team name... Were struggling for ideas. Can anyone throw me some suggestions? Bonus points if it has something to do with boats etc? Thanks!

Ok, this is probably a really bad suggestion, but all dress as Rod Stewart from the time of his “We are sailing” hit and call the team “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy”. Sailing and songs/artists all covered....

How about celebrity paedophiles and rapists and murders proven or unproven and anyone else contemptible ? In fact call your team Comtemptable.
Jimmy, rolf, OJ, Barrymore, cliff. Shaking Steven's, Roy, Blair, Boris. Hunt. Thatcher (mark and Margaret) Trump, etc.
Shaky? Really? Surely not. Also there shouldn't be an apostrophe in his surname.Jimmy, rolf, OJ, Barrymore, cliff. Shaking Steven's, Roy, Blair, Boris. Hunt. Thatcher (mark and Margaret) Trump, etc.
How about all going as porn stars in their working dress and calling the team "The Mate-a-lots do Shaggy*" ?
Or anything by Boney M? eg "Brown Girl in the Ring"?
Or is that sailing a bit too close to the wind?
Whatever, it is certainly demonstrating thorough commitment to the company's team bonding philosophy.
It also reflects well on your team's ability to keep extraneous costs well under control because the total spend on costumes will be minimal.

Some good suggestions guys, but remember this is a work do, so it's kind of inappropriate to dress as paedophiles and hookers... also it doesn't fit into the theme of Songs/artists.
Showaddywaddy and Teddy Buoys wasn't a bad shout, a bit plain costume-wise though. Were trying to win the competition, not come runner up!
Slipknot went down well until somebody pointed out that we would take the masks off after 2 mins and they get in the way of drinking. Fair point.
One of the team suggested Michael Jackson's thriller. I guess someone would be MJ, and the rest of us can be zombies. That's definitely one for the list.
So Solid Crew with white suits was another idea. Again a bit plain.
So were still looking for more ideas. It doesn't have to be a group, it could be a song.
