Tagada 在wiki上有说明:
A tagada is an amusement ride made by various manufacturers. Riders sit in a round bowl with no seatbelts or restraints. There are bars behind the riders which they hold onto. The ride starts to spin and hydraulic arms move the riders up and down. Most operators give time for riders to get to their seats again before making the ride bounce. Sometimes riders will be told the ride is over and the gates will not open and the operator will restart the ride making everyone fall over and then open the gates. This mostly happens in Germany.

明显,他们借用了这个带有独特动感的“摇”+“动”的Tagada,来作这个摇滚乐队的队名,别具特色。建议了两种翻译供参考。
