DEÄTHMÜFFIN UPDATE: THE BAND FORMERLY KNOWN AS THUNDERNUTS

We are Banäna Deäthmüffins. But as longtime fans know, we didn’t start out as Banäna Deäthmüffins.

Like a lot of bands, we went through several names before settling on the current one. Early favorites were Barefoot & Pregnant, Buckwheat & Radishes and Wet Riser.

Finally we settled on The Thundernuts – partly because hey, great name, and partly because we already had the theme song ready to go.

It didn’t start out as the theme song, of course. It was a song I wrote 15 years ago after coming across a package of Wah Yuen Thunder Nuts.

(I say I wrote it, but really the song more or less wrote itself. As you’ll gather if you bother to press Play.)

Unfortunately, as it turned out, Thundernuts was already taken as a band name. So we moved on, and eventually settled on Banäna Deäthmüffins.

But we still had the song.

And here it is.



No lyrics sheet required, really.

Glory be.

HELPFUL LISTENING TIP: The song stands alone on its own, but for maximum pop-culture appreciation, it does help if yr familiar with the Thundercats.

FUN FACT: The end bit is a half-assed tribute to the MC5. As if you need me to tell you that.

Hoooooooooooooooooo,

This is dF
