'The Monkees' name is actually badly spelt and grammatically incorrect. It was meant to be 'Les Mes Clefs'.

Frustrated with 60s recording technology, Jim Morrison had a vision of the future and called his band The Digital Audio Workstations. Sadly, this proved a bit of a mouthful, so the name was frequently abbreviated and misheard.

It turned out to be no better than reel-to-reel technology. The cross talk on Break On Through (To The Other Side) was terrible. They had to record it two times.

Riders on the Storm was originally just called The Storm, but the band were so impressed with the charity-shop instruments they used on the track that they decided to credit them in the title.

Israeli 60's Popsters Esther and Abi Ofarim originally planned to record their Hit "Cinderella Rockafeller" in Esher but in the end opted for St Johns Wood....

Times have changed since then, nowadays you would not be allowed to shoot a Zebra crossing. However being Israelis and Kibbutznics, they were at ease with the bare feet rule

Muse were just a timid band from Devon originally called Mouse until one day a local publican misspelt their name. The rest, is as they say, history.
