What are the band names that were derived from these, sometimes rather odd, origins?
-1. From an albino ball python owned by a former Deep Purple member
-2. From a 1960 horror film starring Boris Karloff which suggested a holy day of witchcraft
-3. From a beehive hairstyle
-4. From an old pickup truck and the founder of the Oldsmobile car Company
-5. From the title of a Muddy Water's song
-6. By blindly sticking a pin in a map that landed somewhere in Michigan
-7. From a torture device
-8. From a term used by WWII pilots used to describe strange flying fireballs
-9. Due to liking of the name of the band "The Byrds" who influenced them
-10. From an old English nursery rhyme that had to do with predicting the future from the number of birds seen
-11. From a 1972 western movie of the same name starring Jeff Bridges
-12. From the name of the villain in the science fiction film Barbarella
-13. From the mixture of the features of two band members. One had large "owl-like" eyes and the other had extraordinarily large puffy cheeks
-14. From the title of an unemployment form in Ireland
15. From writing on a small electronic plaque on a sewing machine ["electronic" is a key part of the clue]
-16. From a character in the Dicken's novel "David Copperfield"
-17. From a hellish river
-18. From a book in the bible
-19. From a knife
20. From the cramped living conditions they lived in while making their debut album [c----- h----]

Good solves  Lex, you'd think that would point to a band named "The Honeycombs" but according to Wiki, The Honeycombs got their name from their female drummer "Honey Lantree" who was also a beautician therefore...Honey-combs.
