THOUGH some critics have derided them as a mere novelty act, Barenaked Ladies offer testimony that persistence and hard work can pay off in big ways. Thanks to relentless touring and impressive media savvy — as well as undeniable pop smarts — the Canadian band has seen its grassroots following grow into a solid fan base both in its native country and abroad. By sticking, for the most part, to a philosophy that espouses good times (as opposed to grand statement), the group has carved out a niche of its own, and its prospects for a long musical future look better than ever. Initially a duo, Barenaked Ladies got its start in 1988, when childhood friends Steven Page (vocals/guitar) and Ed Robertson (guitar) discovered they enjoyed singing together at summer camp. More... (Submit New Barenaked Ladies Lyrics) (Submit New Barenaked Ladies Lyrics) BNL ROCKS | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song She's On Time performed by Barenaked Ladies They write the most awsome lyrics--in a light happy way. For deep, dark, thoughtful, Don Henley--but I digress. This song, a "Bonus Track" is just so light and bouncy, and about taboo sex! You GO guys!! haunting | Reviewer: jul ------ About the song What A Good Boy performed by Barenaked Ladies I think this song is about addiction. A hairshirt is actually a form of penence and made out of a rough animal fur with the hair side against the skin...very uncomfortable. "Woven from your brown hair" tells me someone else brought him to this point of addiction. The Best Night | Reviewer: Sharing ------ About the song The Old Apartment performed by Barenaked Ladies I used to have the best apartment that was part of a duplex. And after I moved out they were planning on knocking it down. And that's happening in the next few weeks. So me and my old roommate broke into our old apartment, just to sit on our balcony. And we were singing this song. Sailor Moon!!!!!! | Reviewer: allie ------ About the song One Week performed by Barenaked Ladies HAHAHA!!! i've listened to this song basically a million and one times and i never caught that little bit about sailor moon before! i totally used to watch that show everyday after school - i didn't even realize anyone else knew it existed... haha and i sing this song at least once a week in art class - mostly because it annoys this justin kid....and because it's BOMB!!! A great song deserves praise! | Reviewer: Brady Manning ------ About the song Alcohol performed by Barenaked Ladies What a song this is. First, to be clear, I am not of legal drinking age and I have never had a sip of alcohol in my life, and yet I feel this is one of the greatest songs I have ever heard. Why? Because this song is catchy and innovative. The tune stuck in my head as soon as I first heard this song, and I love the words to. It sort of tells the story of an alcoholic... while he is drunk. It is a love song to alcohol, which is a fun concept. Also, it is a very innovative song. The way that the song changes gears (as well as octaves) is beautifully done and entertaining. I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!!! Deep | Reviewer: Christina ------ About the song What A Good Boy performed by Barenaked Ladies This song makes me cry when I hear it. It reminds me of our plight as teenagers. the pressures of school, the loneliness, and the need for something just beyond our reach.....I did'nt know then it never goes away. Tragic | Reviewer: SMW ------ About the song What A Good Boy performed by Barenaked Ladies I love the way BNL use the word "hairshirt" in this song. A hairshirt was used a long time ago to ensure the wrongdoer wouldn't forget his crimes. It's woven out of itchy material, so it's very uncomfortable. I think this song is about someone who made a decision, passed up something amazing and is now stuck in another situation he can't get out of. He is reminded of what he passed up... and even though it's not right, he still wants what he passed up. Very sad song. funny | Reviewer: zoe ------ About the song Light Up My Room performed by Barenaked Ladies i don't know why but just the thought of what this is saying makes me laugh. It is a town with electricity streaming through it and radio playing through there teeth... its just funny. Elf's Lament Classic | Reviewer: HunnerD ------ About the song Elf's Lament performed by Barenaked Ladies This song is destined to be a Christmas classic. It has wonderful barenaked harmonies, lyrics which have a great hook - and can be enjoyed by young and old. The upbeat melody is irresistable. Play this one often with your family over the holiday season - you'll find yourself replaying this one over and over in your head, and enjoying every minute of it. Beautiful!!! | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen/We Three Kings performed by Barenaked Ladies I can just listen to this version over and over. Beautiful, brings tears to my eyes everytime I hear it! God Bless! Falling for the first time | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Falling For The First Time performed by Barenaked Ladies I've never heard this song. Does anyone know the literal meaning to the lyrics? Like, how would you take it if a guy you might like sings it to you? One of the Greatest Break-up Songs Ever | Reviewer: Billy ------ About the song Break Your Heart performed by Barenaked Ladies This song is nothing short of amazing. If you've ever been in a relationship that you've wanted out of, but stayed because you didn't want to hurt them, you will be able to relate. This song is beautiful. lol love this | Reviewer: soldier0cross ------ About the song Pinch Me performed by Barenaked Ladies This song totally reminds me of being a kid and just that simple peaceful feeling of life. Its truly magnificent Dreams | Reviewer: Nick ------ About the song When I Fall performed by Barenaked Ladies Personally, I agree with Anonymous. The song(which is incredible) is about taking risks, but not specifically love. How I'm grasping it is that every body is afraid to take risks, including window-washers(who have very little left to lose) and business men(who can afford to take a risk). This man wants to become more than what he is, but he needs to know that he has someone to fall back on if he ends up regretting his decision. barenaked ladies=lovee. | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Pinch Me performed by Barenaked Ladies this is a really original band and i just love them. 'pinch me' and 'one week' are two simply amazing songs! Oh thoes Memories.. | Reviewer: Morena ------ About the song The Old Apartment performed by Barenaked Ladies This reminds me of where I used to live, an apartment in the city, just a triple decker apartment filled with people who we hated, but I miss it to death. I would stomp on the floor to get the people downstairs mad, and my older sister would take the broom handle and hit the celiing, to get the people upstairs mad..haha I miss it:[ Childhood pinch | Reviewer: Bungaloogan ------ About the song Pinch Me performed by Barenaked Ladies I like this song because it reminds me of when i was just a little kid, maybe three or four.I listened to it all the time back then. our dance | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Pinch Me performed by Barenaked Ladies me and my friend want to do a duet dance this year and doing pinch me would be soooooooooooo cool. lol some of the lyrics are just FUNNY when you actualy listen to them. My fave | Reviewer: joelle ------ About the song Box Set performed by Barenaked Ladies Even though this song is a relative oldie from BNL's first album "Gordon", it stands up well. The clever lyrics are meaningful AND they rhyme and scan. There's a Latin beat and some flashy piano playing. What else can you ask for? Steven Page's vocals? It has them too. Contrast with "Garden Party" by Ricky Nelson, a dull-as-dishwater lament on a similar topic. I listen to this song every day. Obsessed, you say? Maybe, but it's a great song. Give it a try. this song is the best! | Reviewer: Duncan ------ About the song Some Fantastic performed by Barenaked Ladies this song reminds me alot about how i live life, and think about things. which is probably not the best way. but i want alot out of life and so does whoever is in this song. BNL's is the best band ever!
