Band Name Origins:
- Everytime they tried to come up with a name they wrote it in pencil but they keep Erasing it from the paper, until the Eraser fell off and they decided to call them selfs Pencil without an Eraser, later changed to Erasure Submitted by: Oxonman
- Erasure confirmed in a interview on a local station in Houston during the Spring of 1994 that they sent their demo to a record company to be reviewed, and since they had chosen 'Erasure' as their name..and without any other identifying markings, it was tossed in a bin for 'Erasure' Submitted by: melshgeek

Nonsensical Song Lyrics:
"Am I Right?"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: The rain comes rushing down
To resolve your love for this man in his 20s Why They're Nonsensical: I think this whole (gibberish) song is a prime example of why Erasure should stick to hi-energy synth pop rather than trying to do 'wistful' ballads.

| "Am I Right?"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: Look at all the lonely people walking miles around the town
I can see the old cathedral but I had to play it down Why They're Nonsensical: Play what down? The cathedral? How exactly do you 'play down' a cathedral? It's just in there to make it rhyme, isn't it? I'll let them off though, for inspiring such a wonderful website!
