Members of Wire had a side project called "Dome"... Mute Records released another Wire side project called "Duet Emmo" - which - if you unscramble the two words comes out to "Dome" and "Mute"

I don't know what context you're looking for ... it's nonsensical but how 'bout 80's era King Crimson with the song "Thela Hun Ginjeet" -- anagram for "Heat in the Jungle".

Never knew about Missing Persons!

I like this one:
"The Artist formerly known as Prince" = "No first-rate workmanship recently"

One of the Trouser Press Guides has an entry for a band named Rat At Rat R which says "you figure out the anagram, sport." Well, this has bothered me for years because I'm too much of a dumbass to figure it out. What the hell is it? Rat Art Tar? Art A
