Fun Music Information -> Underworld

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

Band Name Origins:

Karl Hyde (Vocalist) and Rick Smith (Musician/ Producer) were in the 80's band 'Freur' who recorded the soundtrack to the Clive Barker horror movie 'Underworld', released in 1985. (This is not to be confused with the 2003 film of the same name starring Kate Beckinsale). Freur broke up in 1986 and Rick & Karl and some of the other members of Freur went on to form Underworld, using the name of the film that their previous incarnation soundtracked. Underworld in their original 5 piece form also broke up but reformed with a new dancey outlook, with the addition of Darren Emerson (a DJ) in 1992, but they kept the 'Underworld' name and still continue today. This final incarnation of Underworld is often refered to as Underworld MKII. (mark 2). Submitted by: mattval1

Misheard Lyrics Story:

Story about this misheard lyric by: Matjaz

It's funny the first time I heard the title of this wonderful but strange song. I was sure it was titled 'Born Sleepy'. It was logical too, since the movie "Trainspotting" is all about Generation X and drugs. It took a long time to find out the title actually was 'Born Slippy'. [Ed.'s note: This story has nothing to do with the misheard lyric, but the title is nowhere to be found in the song. Or at least not intelligibly.]
