[edit] Okay, but what the f*** does it mean?
What does the phrase 'black velvet band' actually mean? Why that phrase as opposed to pink spotted bunkadoo or the yellow striped band or the standing on one leg, facing north and urinating against an electrical socket band? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.157.186.91 (talk • contribs).
- Simple. It's the black velvet band worn by the girl in the song. Heck, it's in the chorus, even. As to why that phrase, you'd probably have to ask whoever wrote the song... Brittany Ka 22:17, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
