WallflowersBand Name Origins:
- The name comes from a traditional song on Bob Dylan's Bootleg Series compilation. Submitted by: Jeb again
- jakob posted on the band' site saying that they came up with "the wallflowers" after sitting around the dinner table. it was basically the only name that nobody hated. he said it was hard enough for 5 people to decide what to order, let alone choose a name that they'd have for the rest of the band's career. another popular theory around is that while the guys were at a photoshoot, they were pretty shy, standing off to the side. the photographer made a comment saying how they looked like a bunch of wallflowers. however, jakob's said that's incorrect and that it's all in the dinner theory.

Story about this misheard lyric by: Sagekat I didn't hear this song until after I had bought the CD. I was really disturbed by this song initially. I was going to return it and write to the band about how bewildered I was that they would use the term 'k***'. Luckily I looked up the lyrics online first. My bad. |

Nonsensical Lyrics:
"One Headlight"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: She said it's cold, feels like Independence Day
Why They're Nonsensical: This doesn't make sense because in July, America is usually warm. I bring this up because the Wallflowers are an American band, and Independence Day in the U.S. falls during the summer.
