Band Name Origins:

Made up by guitarist Jaime while in school while doodling Submitted by: Robert D. Arndt Jr.
While they were trying to think of band names, one of them decided to ask where they'd want to be in the Arctic or the desert. After that, they saw a poster of a monkey. Therefore, "Arctic Monkeys" Submitted by: Taylor

Dirty Song Lyrics:

"I Bet You Look Good on the Dance Floor"

The Dirty Lyrics:

I bet that you look good on the dance floor

Why They're Dirty:

People often say that someone who is a good dancer (looks good on the dance floor) is a good f**k. So here we have some one saying "I BET that you look good on the dance floor,” Doesn't really take a genius to work out what he is actually saying here.
