Music Quotes:
Wouldn't it be great if no one ever got offended? And wouldn't it be great to say what's really on your mind? I have always said all the rules are made for bendin' And if I let my hair down, would that be such a crime? (Consequence Free - Turn - 1999) Submitted by: LucidLupin

Band Name Origins:
- Hove = To rise; to swell; to heave; to cause to swell (past tense of HEAVE). Ex., The sea hove so high that it destroyed a portion of a Newfoundland community. According to a Newfoundland heritage site about costal flooding: Probable result of Lisbon earthquake. Emptied Bonavista harbour and 10 minutes later water returned and overflowed parts of the community. Song 'A Great Big Sea Hove In Long Beach' may have originated from this event. (Song actually titled "Gone By the Board") Submitted by: Aron26
- Ok it's not "great big sea HOVE"......it's "great big sea COVE" But of course that is where the band gets their name..a traditional Newfoundland folk song. Submitted by: Fritter

Boasts in Song Lyrics:
"When I am King"
The Boasting Lyrics: The world will sing, when I am king
Comments: Yeah? Really? Although, the lyric does bring to mind visions of a music-obsessed megalomaniac dictator ruling the world with an iron fist and sending out Death squads to make *sure* everyone keeps singing...
