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!"

“Jack Antonoff” is a currently popular pseudonym used when a producer doesn’t want his/her name to be credited on a record.

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

Either way, the song was the original inspiration for "The Strange Thing About the Johnsons"

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."

serial killer Richard Ramirez had a budding singer-songwriter career, though people probably should have seen the signs with songs like "Baby, I Think It's Gonna Hail (Satan)" and "See You in Disneyland"

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.

Lol it's about former MTV VJ Kennedy.
They dated for a bit

Debbie Gibson's Electric Youth was originally intended to be part of a marketing blitz for a new brand of juvenile speed with the same name. Gibson's management got cold feet and, because copies of the album had already been pressed, insisted that the makers of the drug change their product's name. After a protracted legal battle which ended in Gibson's favor, the drug's manufacturers found another willing artist with whom to partner, and thirty years later Extreme Strength Pornograffiti remains a popular OTC stimulant among America's teenagers.

1730. Beck's chosen title for the 1996 album that would become his all-time bestseller was <b>Zero Delay</b>, but the record company misread his scribblings.

1731. Bad Brains's name was derived from a spoonerism of "broad beans".

1732. Roger Waters owns a house in Aguascalientes, Mexico that he bought because almost no-one recognizes him in there and he lived there for most of the pandemic.

1733. He has a pool that he never uses.

1734. On Chic's 1977 single "Dance, Dance, Dance (Yowsah, Yowsah, Yowsah)" , the group were actually singing "dents, dents dents". Nile Rodgers penned the song in a furious mood after discovering several of the titular hollow dips in the bumper of a Porsche 914 he had hastily purchased. Before the single's release, Rodgers changed the title after deciding to take the group in a more dancefloor-friendly direction.

1735. Michael Sembello's "Maniac" was originally titled "Animaniac" and was actually the source of inspiration for the animated cartoon, "Animaniacs". When the idea was stolen, Michael sued Warner Brothers, who had him murdered. Weirdly, he continued to record new music after his death.

1736. They knew that co-branding was over as a fashion trend when Virgil Abloh’s love of hip hop had him collaborate with the singer on the 1995 Coolio hit Gangsta’s Paradise. L.V was an important part of the song but Louis Vuitton’s share price went into downfall and they quickly tried to disassociate with him, no longer advertising on Coolio’s youtube cooking channel, and even got Abloh’s friend Kanye West to shout “Fuck L.V.” to fans at his stadium release parties.

As fans didn’t realise this was a reference to the obscure rap singer and thought it was a rift between the rapper and the Louis Vuitton and Off White designer, this only made the share price of the two fashion houses drop further.

Adele's "Rumor Has It" is actually misspelled. Adele is responding to an unknown friend in the song, who prior to the song has asked where her vacuum cleaner is. She had previously loaned it to Bruce Willis's daughter, so she is responding "Rumer has it".

The “Z” in Jay-Z’s name stands for “Zorro.” He earned the nickname as a teenager when he was frequently spotted carrying a fencing sword around Bed-Stuy. #falsemusictrivia
