Japhet Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Lou Reed's real name is Jeremy Bean. He got the nick name 'Lou Reed' because he would often spend days on end reading back copies of 'Crochet Monthly' magazine on the toilet. The band name 'Velvet Underground' was inspired by the disappearance of his favourite brand of toilet paper after he flushed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sprocketflup Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 (edited) The Prodigy's pixie like lyricist Keith Flint is not really an arsonist. The song originally penned for him " I am a biscuit-dunker, twisted biscuit-dunker" was rejected by their record company so a hasty re-write ensued.

yorks5stringer Posted November 13, 2014 Author Share Posted November 13, 2014 (edited) US Fishery Protection and Coastguard Officials have warned never to eat Blue Oyster Cults due to poisonous algae. Both Poundland and Poundstretcher gave a cautious thumbs up to the endorsement Jingle recently performed by Genesis. However a budget-shop insider did say " we much prefer that fat bald guy singer to the tall one who wears too much expensive makeup, as he better meets our demographic" Paul McCartney has now conceded and apologised that in the song "The Long and Winding Road" he did omit to mention the pavement and the garden path.

Diablo Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 The Doors did not, as popular anecdotes have incorrectly quoted, get their name from the book by Mr Huxley. Instead it was conjured up by their fuzzy haired guitar Robbie Krieger based on his previous 9-5 as a double glazing salesman and love of white PVC and hinged openings.
