i named my band after the arab strap song "girls of summer"

but it turns ou me and the bass player actually meant "new birds"

but were too drunk to realise our mistake until it was too late

 

[Lili Marlene]

not after a song but a lyric, the lightning seeds,which apparently is a mistake, what prince actually said was 'the thunder drowns out what the lightning sees'. i always thought he said lightning seeds.

I've always wondered if that's where they got their name


well, for a year or two anyway

Severed Head of State, a punk band, got their name from a Rudimentary Peni lyric
