Why the Name is Stupid:

Needless to say, the name makes me think of Archie comic books. Even if that was the intention, they could have come up with a better name. (Or does everyone in the band have the family name Archie?) Submitted by: Thomas Radigan

Story about this misheard lyric by: Joe Ely Carrales

I am not Jewish, but as a boy I knew thought that was what it said. Later in life, I found out 'meshuggah' was Yiddish for 'crazy.' 'You are my cannibal' seemed silly, but it made as much sense to a 5 year old as 'meshuggah.'
