The members of The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band were initially baffled when their debut album Gorilla was hailed as a "revolution in musical comedy," as they had intended to make a completely straightforward Canterbury Scene record.

1701. Rick Parfitt of Status Quo enjoyed an illustrious parallel career as an academical philosopher, using the lightly-modified name of "Derek Parfit" because of stipulations in the band's contract with their manager. To his and his family's astonishment, neither "Parfit"'s employer Oxford University nor the wider world ever caught up on the double life, and a few days after Parfitt's death on Christmas Eve 2016, the family had to make a separate announcement of "Parfit"'s death to avoid further confusion.

George was having a ball hanging out with Dylan and the Band in Woodstock in late '68
this post got me thinking: what did Dylan and the Band (and George) eat in Woodstock, and who was cooking?

please supply false trivia

Custard

balls

George Harrison's 1968 Thanksgiving dinner with Dylan and the Band in Woodstock so delighted him with the New World foods he'd never experienced that he was inspired to mutter "cranberry sauce" at the end of "Strawberry Fields." Some have questioned the chronology, but remember, the preponderance of Canadians meant they were celebrating Thanksgiving early.

"Hey Robbie, pass the I buried Paul."

"The what?!"

"Oh, um, I mean the cranberry sauce."

1691. Taylor Swift's 1989 was named not in honor of her own birthday, but in honor of the 25th anniversary of Deee-Lite's World Clique. Maceo Parker and Fred Wesley provided the horn section for Shake It Off.

1710. Although 'We Are the World' is probably the best-remembered of the all-star charity singles released during the 1980s, the highest-selling of those singles remains 1987's 'Don't Gimme No Lip (I Need a New Hip)', which was released after the accident that tragically ended Frank Stallone's professional snowmobile racing career. The ensuing flood of lawsuits quickly made clear that the celebrities featured on the single had all been impersonated by Stallone.

1711. Damon Albarn's real name is Daniel Norman. Teased at school with the nickname Normal Dan, he started to call himself Dan Abnormal, then anagrammed it for his career with Blur.

1712. Robert Smith (of the Cure) is the incestuous love child of sibling rockers Patty Smith and G.E. Smith.

1713. Suede's rousing 2018 album closer "Flytipping" ("flytipping feels like just enough") is an admission that the boys found cowtipping far too strenuous.

As everyone knows, U2 guitarist The Edge's real name is Paul Hudson. In between U2 tours, he switches out his fake beard and silly hat for another silly hat and a long curly wig to play in a hard rock side-project. To complete the disguise, he swaps the P in his first name for an S.

(That's some pretty good fake trivia, m'man.)

Post Malone is actually Karl "Post" Malone who earned the nickname bc he be postin'

The inspiration for Jackson Browne's "Somebody's Baby" came at a late night comedy show. The MC came to the microphone holding an infant girl and asked whose it was, because they had found her unattended in the bathroom.

After repeated asks and no replies from the crowd, the MC angrily blurted "She's gotta be SOMEBODY'S baby!"

1704. “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me” is about a man afraid of getting a BJ from the sun.

Chas Hodges kept up his session work throughout the 80s, as he believed Chas and Dave would never be a lasting concern. He can be heard (uncredited) on "Running Up That Hill" (bass), "Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want" (mandolin), and "Voodoo Ray" (keyboards). Also the theme music to TV's "Juliet Bravo" (lead guitar).

The idea for the chorus of the Jets' "You Got It All" occurred when Eugene and Eddie Wolfgramm got into a fight in the living room. Eddie, having lost the upper hand, found an open bucket of paint and chucked it at Eugene, costing him.

Mama Wolfgramm came running in, yelling "Goddammit, Eddie! You git it all over him!"

Elton John's somg "Nikita" was written for Nikita Khrushchev.

Roedelius fragged the Oberscharführer of his Hitler Youth squad at the end of WWII when he and his fellow youths were about to be forced into action against the incoming Soviet army. They surrendered peacefully to the American forces a few days after.

The Vengaboys' 1999 hit "Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom!!" was originally subtitled "I'm Married to Geoff Hoon!", an unsubtle reference to singer Denise Post-Van Rijswijk's short-lived marriage to the British Labour Party Member of Parliament for Ashfield. The song's passionate exhortation for an unnamed non-Hoon third party to spend the night together with Post-Van Rijswijk was cited as a contributing factor in the couple's 2002 split, along with Hoon voting no on the second reading of that year's Tobacco Promotion and Advertising Bill.

Jim Morrison's talent for prognostication has not gone unremarked upon. However, what is lesser known is that in 1967, an early draft of one of his most popular songs would predict a genre-defining new wave hit 13 years in the future! Early drafts of the Doors' enduring single People Are Strange reveal that the lyrics' third line was originally "women sing Whip It when you're unwanted."

Winner

Simon stated in interviews that the song was written in his bathroom, where he turned off the lights to better concentrate. "The main thing about playing the guitar, though, was that I was able to sit by myself and play and dream. And I was always happy doing that. I used to go off in the bathroom, because the bathroom had tiles, so it was a slight echo chamber. I'd turn on the faucet so that water would run (I like that sound, it's very soothing to me) and I'd play. In the dark. 'Hello darkness, my old friend / I've come to talk with you again'."According to Garfunkekl, Simon originally wrote the lyric as "Aloha darkness, my old friend."Garfunkel once summed up the song's meaning as "the inability of people to communicate with each other, not particularly internationally but especially emotionally, so what you see around you are people unable to love each other."

ORNALDO BLOOMPS FOR PRESIDETN

Some years ago, I thought it would be funny to bullshit my friends by fabricating a story that the Goo Goo Dolls song "Name" was written about Drew Barrymore, during the troubled 90s phase of her career when she Grew up way too fast...

I have since repeated this story so many times, with so many embellishments, that I no longer recall what the truth of the matter is.

I guess you could say, Now there's nothing to believe.
