Human LegueBand Name Origins:
- After briefly considering ABCD, they chose The Human League, a name taken from a science-fiction board game called "Star Force". Martyn Ware: "There were all these scenarios in the back for various wars in the future, and one of these, for a stage 'round about 2180, where there were two main empires - The Pansantient Hegemony and The Human League. The Human League centred around Earth and the scenario was called The Rise Of The Human League. So we stole it." (source: http://blindyouth.co.uk/) Submitted by: Eric Svoboda
- they got there name from the uk comic 2000ad which featured Judge Dredd. In one Dredd story the human league were a band of civilians who hated robots and used to smash them up Submitted by: scottian

Nonsensical Song Lyrics:
"Don't You Want Me?"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: Don't you want me, baby?
Why They're Nonsensical: This line could also go under the repetitive category, but it's nonsensical because if you have to ask that question to someone, they don't want you. Especially if in the context of the song, it implies that the person doesn't want him (which seems to be the case here).

Lighter Side of Serious Bands:
"Don't You Want Me"
Ron Wood of the Rolling Stones had an affair with Russian art student Ekaterina Ivanova. He left his wife of 20+ years for her. She was moonlighting as a waitress in a cocktail bar when he met her. However, his crazy antics due to alcoholism and possibly cocaine use scared her away. Note, I said SHE WAS WORKING AS A WAITRESS IN A COCKTAIL BAR - isn't that scenario right out of a Human League classic hit? It's so TRUE TO LIFE, isn't it - and I just mentioned a Roxy Music song here as well! ; )
