Band Name Origins:
- Since they did heavy metal they called half of the name Knife.Because they were girls, they picked shonen when they put the both together, the name was shonen knife Submitted by: Daniel
- I have a fanzine where Shonen Knife were interviewed. The girls were in school and decided to form a band. The thing of it is, none of them could play an instrument. Anyway, they got instruments and then went about the task of naming themselves. One if the girls turned around in class and saw a boy with a pocket knife and asked him what kind of knife it was. He replied, "it is a 'Shonen' knife." She then thought it (shonen knife) would be a good name for the band. The other girls loved it as well, and the rest is history. Submitted by: Brian

Misheard Lyrics: Sure been me so I will hear
While I am so we can hear Banging shoes remind me above shashez ho Wax love being So I need the work you've done This will be a devil staff Rub my hands with a for to read between the lines Like you do Dealing with a faith healer and trust him in the family dirt Now is a time with mastadons When the healer's no round arm When he talks love to you now as it was coo Show you how You a wonderful nothing new The faith healer can lose his cool She rice squeeze and one grows down, she's in the wrong Seen through you It's the wrong coat town, she's in the wrong Dealing with a faith healer and trust him in the family dirt. Original Lyrics: Shoving me so I will hear
While I am so weak I kneel Begging she'll remind me But she says few words not free So I leave the drafty tent This will be a ten well spent Rub my hands with effort to read Between the lines...like you do Dealing with the faith healer And trusting in the palm reader Now is the time we must get on When the healer's not around Let me talk love to you know As if I could show you how You are wonderful but nothing new The faith healer can do this too She arrives with warrant to close you down She's been around, sees through you With a warrant to close you down, she's been around Dealing with the faith healer And trusting in the palm reader. |
