Barenaked ladies .. great Canadian band. Song the title is referencing is called Brian Wilson.

Oh ok, they're "BNL" now? We need a shorthand for the Barenaked Ladies?

[–] p1mrx@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago

They have used "BNL" officially. I recall they had an Enhanced CD (maybe Rock Spectacle) with a video that began "This is BNL TV", but I can't find a copy on the internet.

The barenaked ladies are TRIPLE PLATINUM, are YOU?

Ah yes, the "One Week" and BBT theme song guys.

I used to run a wonderful BNL Geocities page back in the 90s. I was interviewed by Entertainment Weekly about it, which is the most random moment of my life.

Yeah it was so random. I remember the journalist leaving me a message on my parents' answering machine and was so shocked. It amounted to just a sentence or two but it was still wild.
