huge Prince fans, but did you stumble upon them because they are named after a Michael Jackson outtake?

No, they started playing and I listened to them before I knew that Mj had a song called Monkey Business.

These three songs are not their best, but were the biggest hits.

Listened to My Friends. The only thing 'funky' about them is the funky-ish bassline. The lyrics were dreadful neutral
It is not known why FuNkeNsteiN capitalizes his name as he does, though some speculate sunlight deficiency caused by the most pimpified white guy afro in Nordic history.

Ignore the lyrics and their pronanciation! They´re just making fun of the czech people and their way of living. Czech people love going to pubs and drink beer. lol
