As I mentioned on the songs that sound like other songs thread, I have decided “law man” is a great cover of Pretty Woman

Also they should do a track with the guy from Sleaford Mods

So, why ‘were’ they called Girl Band in the first place?

My guess is they thought it was funny. Maybe simply because none of them are girls, but it's always had that undercurrent of lol girl bands are inherently funny, lololol girl musicians amirite? The name itself isn't offensive at all, but when you're placing yourself in a culture that constantly diminishes women then it's good to have a deeper think about your place in it. Good on them, I say.

That's true. But without ever digging any deeper I thought it was probably just the obvious play on and opposition to to the idea of the "boy band".

Well, I guessed it was meant to be ironic.
Just, the idea that they had no idea themselves was..
