BTW, it's Bad LEF-tenant

We're having none of that American LOO-tenant crap on here.

Many thanks.

Its LOO-tenant. Bernard said so himself in the songbook interviews.

I don't get why people in parts of Europe pronounce is "leftenant." It sounds cool..

But the word or phrase "lieu" is always pronounced as "loo" isn't it? As in, "In lieu of a race, we will have...".

Lef-tenant is common in Canada, Australia, New Zealand and other parts of the world, as well as the UK...

There's a whole discussion if you Google the words - I just wasted 10 minutes reading through some of them!

(and still none the wiser)!

I thought it was Bad NeilTennant Only joking, I love PSB

72 000 'fans' on Facebook says it will be a hit

A tad devious, nicking all the NO fans like that...

Even Bad DavidTennant is better than LOO-tenant.

bad loo-tendant the ones that don't mop the floors or give you a free squirt of cheap aftershave

Does this mean Barney will be shouting "WEF" between songs?

Given events in the film that the band is named after, I am expecting Bernard to demonstrate his willingness to offer fans a "free squirt" of something else entirely.

Keitel, full-frontal. A cinema classic.

Well, when you put it that way... Looks like I'll have to fly over and check out the spectacle.

I was planning a UK trip for my birthday...

If they would come to Japan, I'd be delighted, but I won't get my hopes up too high.

That being said, I've never seen the said Harvey Keitel film in question.

For the benefit of NOOLs sexual avant-garde/out-and-out deviants, I'd just like to gently point out that my comments above about the possibility of Bernard ejaculating on stage were meant in jest.

Thanks.

Eww!

Sorry

Eff!

I think I already knew that.

But anyway, back on topic, if they choose to call it 'loo-tenant' then I don't really care.

Loo or Left, either way they're still Bad. :(

So now we all know.

I'll pronounce it however they do- that's how I learned not to say ber-NARD.

Heard it all before?

Did you know the name of this new band came from a time when Barney was riding in a car with the Pet Shop Boys. Neil had only just learned to drive, and wasn't very good. Chris told him to turn right, Neil went the opposite direction and crashed into a tree. Neil got out and rushed to the back of the car to open the trunk. Frantically, he started to fill his rucksack with dozens of lightbulbs he had "helped himself" to at Woolworth's. Which all lead to Barney saying.. "BAD LOOT, TENNANT!"... and the rest is history!
