Origin on the Band's Name?

Latest comment: 12 years ago4 comments4 people in discussion

Anyone know where the bands name came from or how they chose it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.136.31.82 (talk) 19:48, 23 January 2008 (UTC)Reply

It's explained in the article. It comes from a nickname for the melodica. Badagnani (talk) 04:22, 2 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Even from way over here in the UK, I'm pretty sure that in the US a slang term for a part of the female anatomy is HOOTERS ?!? Thegraciousfew (talk) 15:50, 26 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

So what? That doesn't mean that the band's name has to come from this meaning of the word hooter. It has some other meanings, too.--Sylvia Anna (talk) 18:50, 26 February 2012 (UTC)Reply

Live Aid

It says here that The Hooters were the opening band of the Philly Live Aid concert. But in the listing in the Live Aid concert article two acts are listed as having played before them. So what is correct? Any sources?--Sylvia Anna (talk) 18:58, 8 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

I am planning to add some new content for this page include the release of their album in 2017 and mentioning some of their stateside concerts and events. I just wanted to check to see if there was anyone who objects to changes being made. ZoeyLenore (talk) 19:58, 4 October 2019 (UTC) ZoeyLenoreReply
