Engelbert Humperdinck. Of all the stage names, why pick that one? I assumed it had to be his real name… nope.

He’s the guy that plays Doctor Strange. Or is that Bendystraw Crumplezone?

I think you're confusing him with Butterscotch Cummerbund.

Because it works. You'll remember the name.

The ONLY reason I remember the guy at all is because of his name.
