Just as Pogue means "kiss," meaning there are two bands named Kiss, the same is true of Power Station. There's the pop-rock supergroup The Power Station, but also the German electronic band Kraftwerk, whose name means "power station" in German.
@Bacopa68
Жыл бұрын
Thanks for that info about Kraftwerk. I have dabbled in German enough to know that makes perfect sense. Power Station it is. I have recently learned that a GFI switch is called something in German that amounts to "forlorn stream" in English cognates. As poetic as that is in English; stream=current, and forlorn=looked past, so current is leaking out somewhere, perhaps through a human body, better switch off.

The reason The Beatles used 'beat' in their name wasn't just because they were playing music. While they were growing up, a very popular form of jazz was called 'Beat' and the people who liked it were called 'Beatniks'. I think Ned Flanders' parents were Beatniks - the boys wore berets and had goatee beards. The girls had big baggy sweaters. It is because Beat music was so prevalent in the late 50's and early 60's, just when The Beatle members were getting started, that they used that spelling. The name may well have been a response to The Crickets - I'm just talking about the spelling in the name, nothing deeper than that. I'm an old fart - I recall this stuff.

I would like to also point out that "Beyonce" is an Anglicization of her mother's Louisiana Creole maiden name. Also, Beyonce's dad's former boss was a friend of my family. I heard him say that the best worker on his new team had quit to manage his daughter's singing career. I asked who that was and he said "Girl's Tyme; They sing at malls." At the time, Matthew Knowles was a top-rated sales and support rep for the medical equipment division of Xerox. He was makin' boocoo dinero. BTW, "boocoo" is a French-derived slang term once used on the Gulf Coast of the US between Mobile and Houston. I think they still use it in Alabama. "Dinero" is just Spanish for "money". Mabe a good video subject would be French derived terms used as slang in the southern US. "Boocoo", "Lagniappe" and "P**n-T4ng" would be obvious examples.

You could probably do a lot of videos on band names, given there are so many bands and many with unusual, unexpected, or interesting names. Like Toto, Steely Dan, Genesis, or Everything But The Girl. Tears For Fears, Talking Heads, ABBA, Asia, Yes, Led Zeppelin, Blood Sweat and Tears, Earth Wind and Fire, The Buggles, etc, etc. The list goes on forever. You could group them under different subjects, too, like bands named after place names: America, Asia, Chicago, Kansas, Boston, Europe, etc.
