Good luck!

Irriating for me however is that Men in Why Aye Men... Because it is "Man" in its original meaning. But I think you call yourself "The Why Aye MEN",
so that's ok with me!  :D

Hi... well... the original meaning of the MK song is "Why Aye, friend" (singular) but, when we were looking for a band name, I often say to my friends "Why Aye, men!" (so "Why Aye, my friends"). We were not so sure if it's really in perfect English (anyway, "why aye" sounds like a Geordie slang) but we liked that name, so the name of the band became "Why Aye Men".

That's all... : )
