Band Name Origins:

  • In an interview with People magazine, lead singer Tom Chaplin explained that as a boy, his mother had a friend named Cherry Keane. He loved her name because it reminded him of the popular phrase "peachy keen". This was originally the band's name, but they later dropped "cherry" and became Keane. Submitted by: Madeleine
  • "Keane" is an irish boy name (basically the same as "Keen") and it means "fighter". Submitted by: Nabadango!

Misheard Lyrics Story:

"Crystal Ball"
Misheard Lyrics:
I don't know where I am
And I don't really care
I poked myself in the eye
And no one cared
Original Lyrics:
I don't know where I am
And I don't really care
I look myself in the eye
There's no-one there

Story about this misheard lyric by: Bruna Black

Typical scenario: I was in a store and the song came on the radio. I started singing it to myself and when I got to that part, the girl standing next to me giggled derisively! From that point I knew something was wrong with my singing, so I looked it up on my phone and was rather embarrassed, but amused.
