According to the band's website, although the group admired Holly ( and years later produced an album covering some of his songs ), their name was inspired primarily by the sprigs of holly in evidence around Christmas of 1962.

Soon after, the band's name was revised to Bill Haley & His Comets.

* The Damned-Damned Damned Damned, a limited number of which were deliberately printed with a photo of Eddie and the Hot Rods on the back of the cover, rather than The Damned playing at The Roxy Club, and with an erratum sticker apologising for this " mistake ", and on the front of the LP, on top of the original shrinkwrap, a red food-fight sticker saying ' Damned Damned ', thus completing the LP's title when read underneath the band's name ;

At Capitol's behest, the band's name was changed to Crowded House, which alluded to the lack of space at the West Hollywood apartment they shared during the recording of the album Crowded House.

The band's real name generated controversy.

In 1989 the band's name was changed to Deicide at the request of Roadrunner Records.

This band's name remained that way until his death.

In keeping with the band's satirical nature, each member had a comical name: in addition to Kinky there was Little Jewford, Big Nig, Panama Red, Wichita Culpepper, Sky Cap Adams, Rainbow Colours, and Snakebite Jacobs.

They were still committed to several concerts in Scandinavia, so drummer Jim McCarty and vocalist Keith Relf authorised Page and bassist Chris Dreja to use " The Yardbirds " name to fulfill the band's obligations.

In an unpublished memoir, Mars later explained the band's choice of name: " Like maybe the main act doesn't show, and instead the crowd has to settle for an earful of us dirtbags.

Frustrated with the lack of attention they were getting locally, they engaged in a graffiti campaign, with Brown and Wren spraying the band's name on walls from West Didsbury to the city centre.

Rob Crow of the rock band Goblin Cock chose to go by the name " Lord Phallus " during the release of the band's albums.

The only concern held by Ross and Food was that they disliked the band's name.

To keep the " initial " theme of the band's name, Rozonda needed a name starting with C, and so became Chilli, which was coined by Lopes.

As the band's primary songwriter, Neil Finn was under pressure to create a second album to match their debut and the band joked that one potential title for the new release was Mediocre Follow-Up.

They also remixed a song by Datarock, " Computer Camp ", which can be heard on the band's MySpace page.

Sakamoto released his first solo album in mid-1978, Thousand Knives of Ryūichi Sakamoto, with the help of Hideki Matsutake, who would later be the " fourth member " of Yellow Magic Orchestra, and with the band's founding member Haruomi Hosono also contributing to the song " Thousand Knives ".
