Fun Music Information -> Relient K

This is the most recent information about Relient K that has been submitted to amIright. If we have more information about Relient K, then we provide a link to the section where it appears (the actual page whenever possible).

Band Name Origins:

  • The band picked this name because they thought "crappy band, crappy car"; even though they are a great band. But they had issues with the copy right of "Reliant K". So they changed the 'a' to an 'e'. Another option that Matt T thought of was for it to be "Reliant Que"; because at the time they were picking the name, he was a Spanish student.

  • The other definition is right, it's just that it was Matt Hoope's car, not Matt Theissen's. Submitted by: darren

Song Titles Not Used as Lyrics:

Song Name
Comments & Submitter Name
"The Only Thing Wose Than Beating A Dead Horse Is Betting On One"Nothing even close to the title is used in the song. I'd show you a chorus, but this song is so short it doesn't even have one! It ends with, "We control the chaos In the back of our minds Our problems seem so small But they grow on us Like gravity But gravity still makes us fall" (You can also look this one up under "Super Short Pop Songs.") - Jonathan S.
"Which To Bury, Us Or The Hatchet"The title isn't mentioned ANYWHERE in the song! The chorus goes: "No, I don't hate you/Don't wanna fight you/You know I'll always love you/But right now I just don't like you" Which particular one of these lines people would think is the title, I don't know. - Jonathan S.

Misheard Lyrics Story:

"For The Moments I Feel Faint"
Misheard Lyrics:
Where do I go from here?
Now I'm such a fork.
Original Lyrics:
Where do I go from here?
Now I'm searching for.

Story about this misheard lyric by: Sky

We were driving back from the Embassy soaked in the rain, having to walk 10 or so blocks to the Embassy and another 10 to get back to our car. We needed something to cheer us up. We had borrowed a friends car so we only had her CD's we poped this one in and listened to "For The Moments I Feel Faint" over and over again, singing "Now I'm such a fork". We weren't sure what it meant, but we thought that maybe it was saying. I am at this point in my life where I have all of the options/directions, and I don't know which one to take. It made sense in our heads anyway.

Song Lyrics That Name Check Celebrities:

"In Love With the 80's (Pink Tux to the prom)"
The Lyrics:
So it was Jeremy in 1983
in his Ocean Pacific T
who got a bloody knee
on his skateboard
in the half pipe
in the backyard
That tuesday night
And I'm only gonna pierce my left ear
And I've been working on this mustache all summer long
And my favorite band will always be Tears for Fears
And I'm gonna wear a pink tux to the prom
Cutting class through the first floor window
He's driving fast cause he never did a thing slow
And I look up to my big bro
'Cause in the 80's all the ladies grabbed his hand and couldn't let go
And I'm only gonna pierce my left ear
And I've been working on this mustache all summer long
And my favorite band will always be Tears for Fears
And i'm gonna wear a pink tux to the prom (a pink tux to the prom)
Doo doo, a doo doo doo
Pink tux to the prom
Doo doo, a doo doo doo
Pink tux to the prom
I am gonna wear a pink tux to the prom
Live without a care...what could possibly go wrong?
When you're president of the breakfast club
And you're not hesitant to fall in love (to fall in love)
To throw it away to fall in love with the 80's
I am gonna wear a pink tux to the prom
Live without a care...what could possibly go wrong?
I am gonna wear a pink tux to the prom
Live without a care...
Cause you threw it away to fall in love with the 80's
Doo doo, doo doo
Doo doo, doo doo
Doo doo, doo doo

Bad Grammar in Song Lyrics:

"Who I Am Hates Who I've Been"
The Lyrics:
...And I was positive that unless
I got myself together I would watch me fall apart
Why:
It should be, "I would watch MYSELF fall apart", but I can see why Matt (the singer) would go the other route--it might have been tricky trying to add that extra syllable.

"untitled (posibly called "Silly Shoes")"
On the album "Two Lefts Don't Make A Right...But Three Do", once track 15 ("Jefferson Aero Plane") stops, the CD keeps playing. About two minutes later, a rather silly track starts playing (you'll know when you get to it when you hear some guy shout "PEPPERONI!").
