Raspberries/Eric CarmenBand Name Origins:
- In the "Our Gang" shorts, someone from the Gang would often comment "Aw raspberries". The band thought this would be funny. Critics thought it was a "bubble gum" type of music name. (Let's see - the critics didn't get it? What a shock!) Submitted by: RICK HOLLY

Story about this misheard lyric by: Brandon Cox My wife had this song in an oldies collection, but didn't know the title. We had several discussions about the chorus, which she believed to be "Please go away", because of the way that she interpreted the song's meaning. She assumed, because of the girl's young age, that he wanted her to leave to avoid temptation. Upon hearing it several more times on a better sound system, she heard the "-th-" sound in the aforementioned phrase, and realized what was actually being said. We changed the title of the song to the appropriate version, but we left the mistaken title attached to the end in parentheses. We laugh about it to this day. |
