Human LegueBand Name Origins:
- After briefly considering ABCD, they chose The Human League, a name taken from a science-fiction board game called "Star Force". Martyn Ware: "There were all these scenarios in the back for various wars in the future, and one of these, for a stage 'round about 2180, where there were two main empires - The Pansantient Hegemony and The Human League. The Human League centred around Earth and the scenario was called The Rise Of The Human League. So we stole it." (source: http://blindyouth.co.uk/) Submitted by: Eric Svoboda

Story about this misheard lyric by: Samar My sister is 10 years older than me. She was born in 1978 and I was born in 1988. I always heard her singing "won't your breast feed me?" while singing the song. Now that I am 20 years old, I decided to finally look up the lyrics and we're both laughing hysterically because we found that it actually says won't you please forgive me. LOL!! I have been telling everyone about this song and how it says won't your breast feed me. |

Inappropriate Lyrics:
"Dont you Want Me/Life On Your Own"
The Inappropriate Lyrics: it?s time I lived my life on my own
Why They're Inappropriate: Three Years After they made it big with 'Dont you want me', the human league Had relesed another song entitled 'Life On Your Own' . Either they are merely recycling their lyrics, or unsucessfuly trying to create a sequel. In conclusion, by 1984 the human league was becoming a lot less creative.
