Supertramp/ScooterBand Name Origins:
- The band got it's name from the first drummer by the name of Richard Palmer. Palmer wrote all the bands lyrics at the time and was a literature graduate or student at least. The name comes from a book by W.H. Davies. The book being titled "The Autobiography of a Supertramp". There was an online version of it if anyone cares to give it a read. Submitted by: Tony Trampfan
- Unemployed guitarist Roger Hodgson was busking in the underground (subway)in London in the late sixties when a man approached him. An unkempt Hodgson asked if if he liked the music, to which the man replied, "Super, Tramp!" (Tramp is the British word for a "bum" or "hobo") Submitted by: Richard Braithwaite

Misheard Lyrics Stories:

"Potter"
Misheard Lyrics: I told this chick she could see my p****
And lay a cactus back in the confines of my home. Original Lyrics: I told her strict she could see my prickled
Cactus back in the confines of my home. |
Story about this misheard lyric by: Igor Molotov On the Internet, there doesn't seem to be total agreement on what the lyrics really are here. (Is it for instance 'strict' or 'quick'?) For my part, I'm still pretty sure that my version is the correct one. At least, the hormone-filled teenager that I was when I first heard this song back in the mid-eighties was never in doubt that Potter was making a very direct proposal to some delicious broad. |

Dated Song Lyrics:
"The Logical Song"
The Dated Lyrics: Now watch what you say
Or they´ll be calling you a radical A liberal, afanatical criminal , Oh won´t you sign up with me We´d like to feel you´re Acceptable, respectable, oh presentable, a vegetable! Why They're Dated: The term "liberal" didn't have such negative connotations in 1979, at least not in America. "Liberal" became a slag word during the 1988 Presidential elections between VP George H.W. Bush and Massachusettes Gov. Mike Dukakis. Since then the so-called GOP has used that word as a slur but then again most Republicans today do not fall under the category of "conservative" anymore either. Yet here in this 1979 hit "liberal" is used pejoratively in a time when the textbooks were still using that word in a positive manner!
