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
Stupid Band Names:
- 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.

"Time to Get Ill"
Misheard Lyrics: Wooka muga dooga it's about that time.
or Looking at my Gucci it's about that time Original Lyrics: Walkin' in my Gucci, it's about that time.

Story about this misheard lyric by: Jeff Bower 20 years ago I was singing this song with my best friend from high school and he turned off the cassette player in his Grand Caprice station wagon and said, "What?!... What did you just say?" I then said, "wooka muga dooga it's about that time." After he laughed for 10 minutes I was informed that the lyrics were really, "Looking at my Gucci it's about that time". However, as I discovered tonight, it is really, "Walkin' in my Gucci." |
