Band Name Origins:

  • I heard an interview with the band some years ago. I don't know if they were just being polite because they were on national radio. But they claim the phrase "lovin' spoonful" refers to that last bit of coffee left in the cup, which tends to be extra sweet due to the fact that it contains all the extra undisolved sugar. They said that when taken from the coffee mug in a spoon, this became known as the lovin' spoonful. Submitted by: Mo deLaun
  • A "lovin' spoonful" is a slang term for the approximate amount of semen in the typical male ejaculation. Submitted by: Tim

Story about this misheard lyric by: hannahsstorm

The only reason I know that it actually says "hot town" is because I was googling the lyrics to this song to see what it was. I have always sworn that that it actually says, "hot tramp." I'm 27. You would think I'd know this by now, but apparently not.
