Jokes:
'Live' is one of the stupidest band names ever. Here's one reason why. Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen. From the United States of America - let's give a warm welcome to LIVE! Audience member: Who's live? Announcer: LIIIVVVEEE!!! Audience member: I'm asking ya, who's playing live? Announcer: LIIIVVVEEE!!! (*smacks the announcer*) Submitted by: Live Is a Lousy U2 Imitator Band

Band Name Origins:
- They were originally called "Public Affection", but they didn't think it would be clever enough. So, they came up with "Live", and it stuck. It makes for some interesting discussions when talking about them. Submitted by: Beau McClelland
- The band was called "Public Affection" for several years. It was during the recording of their first major label album that they realized this was a stupid name and quickly chose the name "Live" in order to get it to the press in time to put on the album cover. Submitted by: bt
Stupid Band Names:
- Think about it. The announcer says "Ladies and gentlemen! Live tonight from the United States of America it's LIVE!". As in WHO is live? Live Live? Would their live album be called LIVE Live? So confusing! I've heard similar jokes about concerning the Who's name but they are called "THE Who", not just "Who". Naming your band "Live" makes things even worse. It was confusing to me when I first heard them on the radio. Dumb, dumb, dumb. Submitted by: The Seer
- When I search for them on Napster, it just gives me mp3s of bands that are playing live. How much does that suck?? Submitted by: PhoenixPyre

"All Over You"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: Our love is like water pinned down and abused for being strange.
Why They're Nonsensical: How the hell can water be pinned down and abused? Or strange? Strange water? Was it contaminated or something? You know I really love the musical part of the song, but after listening to it so many times you have to sit down and ask yourself, 'What the hell is that guy talking about?'
