Stupid Band Names:
- It's a misleading name, simply because no one in the band is named Simon Dupree (as implied). That being said, how they came up with this name is beyond my comprehension. Submitted by: Mr. Critic

Nonsensical Song Lyrics:
"Kites"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: In letters of gold on a snow white kite
I will write I love you, and send it soaring high above you for all to read. Why They're Nonsensical: Gold is pretty light-coloured/reflective, so that from a distance gold text on a bright white background would be practically impossible to read. Note, though, that there's nothing nonsensical about the song being called Kites (plural). It begins I will fly a yellow paper sun in your sky. How can this yellow paper sun be 'flown' if it is not, in fact, a kite? Similarly with practically everything else in the song. It's all about kites, and not just about one kite.
