Band logo: "The sweetest music this side of heaven"
signature song: Auld Lang Syne -- to this day, first song of the New Year played in Times Square.
trivia: Guy owned and raced high-powered speedboats. Won the 1946 APBA (American Power Boat Assn) Gold Cup.

Name origin: Since Guy was Canadian and all his band were Canadians, he thought the name was no-nonsense and to the point. Then he added the adjective "Royal", because "Guy Lombardo and His Canadians" just seemed to lack something. The rest is history.

Latest single: Warmer Than Hell -- Released in 2007 to help combat global warming. "They're not that environmentally conscious, but they've heard of global warming." said group spokesman Marty DeBergi. "Nigel thought it was just because he was wearing too much clothing – that if he just took his jacket off it would be cooler." The band played on the London leg of the SOS/Live Earth concert series. The band performed "Stonehenge", the aforementioned "Warmer Than Hell", and "Big Bottom" at Live Earth.

Trivia: In September 2002, the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary included the entry: "Up to eleven: up to maximum volume" a reference to Nigel's famous amplifier that had controls that went beyond the usual maximum setting of 10.
