Fun Music Information -> Relient K
This is the most recent information about Relient K that has been submitted to amIright. If we have more information about Relient K, then we provide a link to the section where it appears (the actual page whenever possible).
Band Name Origins:
- The band picked this name because they thought "crappy band, crappy car"; even though they are a great band. But they had issues with the copy right of "Reliant K". So they changed the 'a' to an 'e'. Another option that Matt T thought of was for it to be "Reliant Que"; because at the time they were picking the name, he was a Spanish student. Submitted by: Caroline
- The other definition is right, it's just that it was Matt Hoope's car, not Matt Theissen's. Submitted by: darren

| "K Car" | Kind of a stretch, but they were named after the Relient K car, so... On the "Relient K" album, no less! - Emi |
Song Titles Not Used as Lyrics:
Song Name | Comments & Submitter Name |
| "The Only Thing Wose Than Beating A Dead Horse Is Betting On One" | Nothing even close to the title is used in the song. I'd show you a chorus, but this song is so short it doesn't even have one! It ends with, "We control the chaos In the back of our minds Our problems seem so small But they grow on us Like gravity But gravity still makes us fall" (You can also look this one up under "Super Short Pop Songs.") - Jonathan S. |
| "Which To Bury, Us Or The Hatchet" | The title isn't mentioned ANYWHERE in the song! The chorus goes: "No, I don't hate you/Don't wanna fight you/You know I'll always love you/But right now I just don't like you" Which particular one of these lines people would think is the title, I don't know. - Jonathan S. |

Story about this misheard lyric by: Jonathan S. The lyric immediately before this one is "I'm poor, I'm starving, I'm flat broke, I've got no cash to spend," so i thought the singer was saying he was so poor, he had to eat somebody's ink pen! XD |

Bad Grammar in Song Lyrics:
"Who I Am Hates Who I've Been"
The Lyrics: ...And I was positive that unless
I got myself together I would watch me fall apart Why: It should be, "I would watch MYSELF fall apart", but I can see why Matt (the singer) would go the other route--it might have been tricky trying to add that extra syllable.

"untitled (posibly called "Silly Shoes")"
On the album "Two Lefts Don't Make A Right...But Three Do", once track 15 ("Jefferson Aero Plane") stops, the CD keeps playing. About two minutes later, a rather silly track starts playing (you'll know when you get to it when you hear some guy shout "PEPPERONI!").
