Barenaked Ladies: The Naked Truth

TELL ME WHAT'S ON!

The Barenaked Ladies are a Canadian rock band, formed in 1988 in Scarborough, Ontario. The band quickly developed a cult following in Canada, with their self-titled 1991 cassette becoming the first independent release ever to be certified gold in Canada. Their debut with Reprise Records, Gordon, featuring the singles "If I Had $1000000" and "Brian Wilson", was released in 1992.
The band's style has evolved greatly throughout their career, and their music which began as exclusively acoustic quickly grew to encompass a mixture of a wide array of styles including pop, rock, hip hop, rap, etc.[citation needed] They are most commonly billed as an "alt rock" band.
"One Week" remains the band's most successful single. Other well-known singles include "It's All Been Done", "Pinch Me", and "The History of Everything" (the theme song to the sitcom The Big Bang Theory).
