The Chi-Lites/Paul Young, Chi-LitesBand Name Origins:
- Best known for "Oh, Girl" from 1971, this group was originally named the Hilites(mispelling intended) until they were told there was another Chicago band using that name. Fast thinking produced the Chi-Lites, the "Chi" in homage to their home town. Submitted by: Khalil
Stupid Band Names:
- This name sounds like "The Shy Lights"--and that's what I first thought the name was! But then later, I heard a DJ spell out the name. I couldn't have spelled the name right without hearing or seeing the spelling. Submitted by: Candy Welty

"Oh Girl"
The Lyrics: Oh Girl, I'd be in trouble if you left me now,
