Even if you’ve never heard Greg Kihn’s music, you probably know who he is—he’s the character who comes up with dumb puns on his own name for most of his album titles. Let’s see, so far there’s been Next Of Kihn, Rockihnroll, Kihntinued, Kihnspiracy, and the latest, Kihntagious. What’s next? Workihn In A Coal Mine? How long Kihn this go on?
Kihntrol yourself, because it seems that the California rocker is a victim of cirkihnstance. “I always hate the titles,” kihnfesses Greg. (OK, we’ll stop, put away the torture devices.) “What happened this time is that I went to Paris after I finished the record. While I was away someone came up with the title Kihntagious and I wasn’t around to veto it. When I came back I made a sour face, but this is the third time it’s happened and every time it’s happened before, the record has been successful. So I should always hate the titles and they should always keep coming up with them. I think that’s what God intends. The formula works great so I shouldn’t fuck with it, right?”
