Band Name Origins:
- They took their name from a song by the sixties-band The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band. Submitted by: Snoozle
- The above is true, but it goes a little deeper. As some Beatles fans know, there was a "Paul Is Dead" conspiracy in the mid sixties, in which the Beatles allegedly replacing Paul with an imposter that had won a Paul look-a-like contest. Anyway, according to the conspiracy theory, the Beatles would give the true fans all kinds of lyrical (and otherwise) hints and clues. "Death Cab For Cutie" was a song performed in Magical Mystery Tour as one of these hints, in that Paul was "the cute one". And that the night he died, he was in a car accident outside London with a cab. A long way to go, but interesting nonetheless. Submitted by: slick nick

Story about this misheard lyric by: Kyle Chris (ed: presumably a sibling), my mother, and I were in the car listening to DCFC's 'Something About Airplanes' when this song came on. After hearing the line about a dozen times, I just had to ask, 'What IS he SAYING?' I was told that it was 'I saw the scene unfold,' and when I blurted what I thought he said, the car got silent. |

Repetitive Lyrics:
"We Laugh Indoors"
The Repetitive Lyrics: I loved you Guinevere,
I loved you Guinevere -- I loved you. Why They're Repetitive: This line is repeated so many times, it literally makes up half of the lyrics. It's still a wonderful song, though.

Insincere Lyrics:
"Company Calls"
The Insincere Lyrics: and your wedding figurines
I'd melt so I can drink them in Why They're Insincere: the song is about the wedding of the girl the lead singer loved, and I dont know, I just find it kinda disturbing that anyone would eat melted wax out of love.

Inappropriate Lyrics:
"I Will Follow You Into The Dark"
The Inappropriate Lyrics: The time for sleep is now
It's nothing to cry about Cause we'll hold each other soon If heaven and hell decide That they both are satisfied Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs If there's no one beside you When your soul embarks Then I'll follow you into the dark Then I'll follow you into the dark Why They're Inappropriate: This whole song is talking about how this girl is going to die, and how he's going to kill himself so he can join her again. =( -sniff- So sad.
