Death Cab for Cutie

Death Cab for Cutie - I Will Follow You into the Dark (Official Music Video)
Death Cab for Cutie

This tune came on the radio this afternoon and I remembered thinking that Death Cab for Cutie was a weird name for a band when my kids first told me about it a zillion years ago, which got me wondering where did they get the name? Fear not, the Internet knows all. It comes from a song by the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band, which is also a weird name, but it's at least more understandable to my aging brain. The tune was never a big hit, but it did get used on a TV show and in a Beatles movie.
