Band Name Origins:
- Band was the Columbia College Kingsmen but their first big agent, Betty Sperber, said "Kingsmen did Louie Louie, I'll call you the Put Ons." Desperate, band's creator, G Leonard said, "How about Sha Na Na-Na (3 Na's) the chorus from Get a Job?" A few weeks later The Bitter End's announcer shaved off the last Na. Later Leonard realized Get a Job's chorus had been Sha Da Da Da anyway. Submitted by: Joel

"Glasses"
It was a hidden and unlisted song on one of their albums. "How could people see in the 14th century before they invented glasses. . ." I've been looking for it everywhere but can't find it since it isn't on any playlist. Please help!
