Band Name Origins:
- I am from the same town as Hoobastank, and my brother was friends with them in high school. They got their name because when they went to record their first demo, right after they started. They walked into the recording studio and there was a man in the waiting room. He had Tourette's Syndrome. Out of nowhere, he just started yellng "Hoobastank! Hoobastank! Hoobastank!" They thought it was funny, so they used that name. Submitted by: Adam
- they were all at a football match together and someone yelled out 'who but stink' so thats how they made hoo-ba-stank Submitted by: Cheyenne
Why the Name is Stupid:
- It's just plain stupid. Doesn't seem to mean anything, and it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Submitted by: A. Person

"Squinting in the Dark" by Below Average Dave
a parody of "Crawling in the Dark" by Hoobastank
I wrote this initially because I entered a contest calling for a parody of a post-2000 song that had to be about television. As I got into it, the song slowly turned out to be one of my best written parodies, and I got to learn how to sing like a rock artist.
