Barenaked ladies .. great Canadian band. Song the title is referencing is called Brian Wilson.

Oh ok, they're "BNL" now? We need a shorthand for the Barenaked Ladies?

I used to run a wonderful BNL Geocities page back in the 90s. I was interviewed by Entertainment Weekly about it, which is the most random moment of my life.
