Band Name Origins:
- Many people confuse this for an acronym or a reference to beastiality. It said in the book that came with The Sounds of Science that they wanted a stupid name that sounded like the Angry Samoans. They also didn't expect the band to last more than a couple of gigs so named it the Beastie Boys. Submitted by: home depot
- Acronym : Boys Entering Anarchistic States Toward Internal Excellence Submitted by: Bobo
Why the Name is Stupid:
- It wouldn't be, except the "B" in Beastie (which is actually an acronym) is supposed to STAND for "Boys." They're using it twice, thus the name is redundant. Submitted by: Jonathan S.
