The Name

Posted over 5 years ago
A few days ago,I was just talking to my friend about Death Cab For Cutie.And we discussed about where the band name comes from.He had an interesting theory.There is a young boy and a girl lovers.And the boy ask for a cab for her girlfriend.She is cute by the way.And on the way,the cab crashes and she dies.So this is a death cab for a cutie....That's really interesting...Sorry for the girl,happy about the band...

  3. Zeroskilz says The name also happens to be the name of a song performed by Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band. I believe this is usually credited as the origin of their name. Missed the Beatles reference in the documentary though. I'll have to rewatch it. Both origins are credited at "Wikipedia":http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_Cab_for_Cutie

  5. Zeroskilz says According to the article on Wiki, the Beatles reference is from the movie The Magical Mystery Tour. I don't know anything about the movie or even many of the Beatles songs (don't tell anyone); so, I cannot be of much more help. I haven't had time to check the DVD today, but there, evidently, is a reference. Worth checking into some more; just for the sake of trivia.

  6. whiteshadow says yeah...it definitely came from the bonzo dog doo-dah band song titled "death cab for cutie" so I'm sorry that story theory doesn't work out.
