GUESS THE REFERENCE ------------------- Last week: "I'm Not In Love" by 10cc. 10 correct entries, 3 wrong or incomplete, including the best entry of the week from Christina Perozzi: The Pretenders Haiku (Or The Indecent Proposal Haiku Remake) "I'm Not in Love" but I'd about do anything For a fat cool mill She doesn't mention 10cc, so I wonder if she thought that it was a Pretenders song. No matter, she gets a Shows List Dollar (only one). Random winner is Vytenis Markevicius. (No cries of unfair influence from the people at work, please. He's not my boss any more.) Winners, send me your US Mail address. Send your entries for this week to shows@tezcat.com. Be sure to include your name in the entry so I can tell you if you win, as well as band name and song title. 10CC ADDENDUM ------------- I mentioned 10cc as being a "seminal" band. I'd always heard that the band got their name because 10cc (cubic centimeters) is supposedly the volume of the average male ejaculation. Over half of last week's GTR entries mentioned that same story, too. I checked my copy of the excellent book "Rock Names" by Adam Dolgins, which is a collection of stories behind hundreds of different band names. It refutes the story. The following is from an interview with "music industry impresario Jonathan King, who also named Genesis": Interviewer: Tell me about 10cc and how that came about. King: I started my own band label in the early 70s called U.K. Records and I picked up this master called "Donna" by this group that was put together by a guy that I knew from Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders a long while back [guitarist Eric Stewart]. I had to give them a name there and then because I had signed the record, and I went to sleep that night, and I had this dream that a band of mine on my label made number one on the album and singles charts simultaneously in America, and the band was called 10cc. So I gave them that name the next morning. Everybody then decided that this was apparently meant to be the amount of an average male ejaculation which was absolutely far from the truth; it had not been a wet dream, I can promise. Interviewer: Is 10cc actually the true measurement of...? King: You, I'm sure, would know more than I, since I've never had an orgasm. Interviewer: I had heard that you, knowing that the average male ejaculation measured 9cc, had decided to call them 10cc you thought they were above average. Is that apocryphal? King: Totally apocryphal. There's a lot of apocryphal stories about names, and unfortunately, most of them are much more amusing than the ugly reality, which in this case is that the name came to me in a dream, a bit like Joseph.
