Bowling for Soup, Bowling 4 SoupBand Name Origins:
- The band was named after a comedy act "Bowling For S***". They just changed "S***" to "Soup". Submitted by: Alexis
- The lead singer was watching the Simpsons one day, in which, Homer went bowling. And he was eating dinner, which just happen to be soup and bread. When the record company called him to tell him that the critics liked the music and asked for the band's name. So, without thinking, he said the first thing that popped into his head, Bowling for Soup. The other band members were kind of mad at him, but the name stuck. Think about what would happen if dinner would've been, rump roast! Submitted by: Becky
Why the Name is Stupid:
- I'm sure it's supposed to mean "putting soup in bowls", but to me it sounds more like the sport of bowling, with soup involved. Submitted by: Jessica

Song Parody Fragments:
"Girl All The Bad Guys Want"
Better Lyrics:
One o'clock Saturday morning and I'm trying
To avoid a guy a little grosser than me
His name is he's annoying, he's got stretchy skin
His hair is grey and he's only fifteen!
To avoid a guy a little grosser than me
His name is
His hair is grey and he's only fifteen!
Original Lyrics:
Six o'clock Friday night and I'm waiting
To meet a girl a little cooler than me
Her name is Lola, she's a rocker with a nose ring
She wears a two-way but I'm not quite sure what that means
To meet a girl a little cooler than me
Her name is Lola, she's a rocker with a nose ring
She wears a two-way but I'm not quite sure what that means

Bruce Lee? Dude, this is a song about abuse. (But as BFS says in I'm Gay, "I think rock and roll is really funny when it's serious.")

Nonsensical Lyrics:
"Almost"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: I almost left home to move to L.A.
Where I was almost famous for almost a day Why They're Nonsensical: If he 'almost' moved to L.A., that implies he never actually did. So how could have been 'almost famous' once he got there???
Submitted by: Michael S.
| "1985"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: Bring back Springsteen, Madonna,
U2, and Blondie Why They're Nonsensical: It's curious that Bowling for Soup chose to characterize 1985 by these bands...considering they are all still around. With the exception of Blondie, whose 2002 album flopped, the others all hit number one with their last lp releases, all of them in this decade. How can you bring back bands that never left?

A little time to think But then she went to Cleveland With some guy named Leelan That she met at the bank There's nothing wrong with Ohio Except the snow and the rain I really like Drew Carey And I'd love to see the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame So when your done doing whatever And when your through doing whoever You know Denton County will be right here waiting for you.... Come back to Texas Its just not the same since you went away Before you lose your accent And forget all about the Lonestar State There's a seat for you at the rodeo And I've got every slow dance saved Besides the Mexican food sucks north of here anyway Why: Talks about Cleveland, Ohio, Texas, Denton County in Texas, Rock n' Roll Hall Of Fame
