Human Legue

Band 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
  • they got there name from the uk comic 2000ad which featured Judge Dredd. In one Dredd story the human league were a band of civilians who hated robots and used to smash them up Submitted by: scottian

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.
