Music Quotes:
We'd force them to listen to their own records until they exploded! - Dexter Holland - on torturing boy bands Submitted by: LucidLupin

Band Name Origins:
- Manic Subsidal were a hardcore punk band, based around a band called "Social Distortion" Dextor's favourite band. They were angry and raw. Then in the media a film was released called "The Offspring". It was about a kid who was an offspring and was angry but changed his life. Manic Subsidal then decided it was time for them to change their style, they weren't so angry afterall. Hence the name "The Offspring". Submitted by: bozo
- Obviously, you guy don't know anything about The Offspring. They used to be called "manic subsidal." Dexter later changed the name to The Offspring, because it was easier to say. Submitted by: Sonia

Misheard Lyrics Story:
|
"Original Prankster"
Misheard Lyrics: Crime, crime
Rockin' Jeremy Beadle Original Lyrics: Crime, crime
Rockin' like Janet Reno. |
Story about this misheard lyric by: Stompgal I was listening to Edith Bowman's show on BBC Radio One on 31st January 2008 and at around 2pm, she has a feature called The Topical Track. That day's topical track was The Offspring's Original Prankster, which was dedicated to the late TV presenter and joker Jeremy Beadle who died the day before. I somehow thought that Jeremy Beadle was mentioned in the song but I checked the lyrics and saw that a little known celebrity called Janet Reno was mentioned. Soon I realised that Jeremy Beadle was not very known in Canada or the USA. |
