If bands had Afrikaans names

Nitebob

Nege duim spykers.... You think maybe they found out what the afrikaans means then translated into english? I mean they couldn't hardly call it the tiny willie collective...

compensating would explain a song like hurt so suppose its not impossible.

Gearhead

Ek like meer Rolklippe, Baiepaars, Looimotorballon, Blauw Broers, Room en Dun Lies.

Gearhead

Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Blues Brothers, Cream and Thin Lizzy perhaps?

domhatch

what about 'eenvoudige rooi'? excuse my spelling, might very well be incorrect.

So let's see who can make the connection between UB40 and Werkloos.

easy. Unemployment Benefit Form 40. it's where the (ironically now back in the same place) members of the band met... but this is a great idea for a new thread!

UB40 is/was the form to apply for the dole in the UK.

They're not back in the dole queue - well not all of them. After Ali Campbell left the rest kept on performing with another vocalist (also a Campbell brother).

I only saw it just the other day, and decided to post some of them. Forgive me if I'm retarded and still stuck on the station where you've obviously already caught the train - but the post did end with "I'm sure you guys can come up with more. Let's hear it." If you're so sharp, why don't you think out a few more for us - we did.

Curiously, Pussycat Dolls didn't even exist 12 years ago so you must have been well and truly ahead of your time.

My momma always said, life is like a box of chocolates...sooner or later you're gonna find a nut...think we just found ours. If you're not contributing to a thread Henre you're taking away from it. That old saying, if you can't say anything good about someone...also applies to this forum...
