  • No. They were boys. -- Jmabel | Talk 01:59, September 9, 2005 (UTC)
    • Except maybe the Jackson 5? Although the Jackson 5 didn't write their own songs… -- Jmabel | Talk 02:05, 26 March 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Last name?

Do Asya and Chloe and their father Mike and their mother Maria have a last name? User:Angr 09:20, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

For some reason, they won't give their last name out in interviews, according to the Sunday Times. -- Dandelions 15:28, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

edit: and now I've added a link to the article in question and a line stating that; the article says something like "we aren't allowed to know their last name".

  • Seems to me like a pretty healthy decision for someone who would like to have a private life. - Jmabel | Talk 06:42, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mr. Show basis for name?

One episode of Mr. Show with Bob and David featured a sketch about an Oasis-like band named Smoosh. They are so lethargic that, on a TV interview, a psychologist is on hand to keep them from answering questions by saying "dunno" or making some sarcastic remark. They also hold a contest in which a lucky winner will travel with them to the moon, where that winner will be shot in the back of the head. --216.165.62.36 10:16, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Seems unlikely as basis for name, at least unless the band were to say otherwise. I suppose they could have seen a rerun; the older of the two would have been about 6 years old when it went off the air, and was about 8 when they named the band. - Jmabel | Talk 21:52, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
Indeed, we now have a clean citation for a different origin. - Jmabel | Talk 22:42, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Favorite"

I can't find a strong citation for Eels calling Smoosh their favorite band, but here is a weak one: http://rocknrollruinedmylife.blogspot.com/2006/06/eels-astoria-london.html. Looks like a decent blog, but probably not really meeting our standards for a citable source. - Jmabel | Talk 05:50, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
