so, who knows the story of the bands title origin......and, anybody know where the old man sound bytes on amputations comes from......???

Death Cab is named after a song by the Bonzo Dog Dooh-Dah Band (Bonzo Dog Band). Quite simply, it's a song about a girl who dies in a cab car crash when she's cheating on her lover. (I just recently found this out, too)

The Tavern. Song played in. Magical mystery tour. Beatles.

I listened to it last night actually, I think they should play it before each death cab concert over the pa!
