| [ Help ]
It seems that folks, for some strange reason, have a hard time
pronouncing the name of our band.
Audio Samples:
 |
Oscar-Award winning actor Robin Williams. Who knew he
was such a fan? |
|
Eric as heard on 97.9 FM Sound Portal
in Graz, Austria. |
|
Need more help? Well, we have compiled these easy lessons.
Lesson #1
|
This may be the most important lesson of them
all. Do not attempt to phonetically pronounce
the band's logo. If you do you'll call them "Are
he three hey I oh" And that's not a good
thing.
|
|
Lesson #2
|
Y + AH = Ya
NEXT - XT = Ne
Z + N + EYE + YOU = Zniyoo
(hint - sounds similar to the exclamatory "Why
You!!")
|
|
Lesson #3
|
The Pronunciation of Ya-Ne-Zniyoo as it relates
to the popular TV show of the 60s Gilligan's Island.
Although the SS Minnow was often referred to
as "the tiny ship", it was actually
a YAcht. Try as they might, the castaways
could NEver effectively execute a plan
to leave the island. I wonder if the sound of
the Skipper's snoring (Zzz) at NIght
bothered any of them. I know it would bother me
and I'm sure it would bother You tOO.

|
Lesson #4
|
The Swedish word for yes = Ya
The name of the town Nesconset without the "sconset"
= Ne
The sound of a bumblebee (zzzz) + N + first person
singular + second person singular = Zniyoo
|
|
Lesson #5
|
Y + "open wide at a doctor's office"
= Ya
Take the word End, turn it around and drop the
D = Ne
Instead of saying, "Hello, how have you
been since the last I've seen you." Say "Hi,
you." Now replace the H with a Zn, leave
the i and change the spelling of you to Yoo =
Zniyoo
|
|
Lesson #6
|
Take the name of the famous dance known as the
Cha Cha and remove the first Cha. Now replace
the remaining Ch with a Y and we have Ya
Take Ned Beatty's name and remove the letters
d - y and we have Ne
Finally, take the word moonshine.
Invert it so we have shinemoon.
Replace the sh with a zn and drop the n and e.
Replace the m with a y and drop the remaining
n and we have Zniyoo
