Did anyone else hear of this (I think) alt-rock band with that name? I don't know much about them other than their name which I came across by accident while searching for a CD recently. Here's their discussion board.

I guess you know "Death Cab for Cutie" was the title of a song by the Bonzo Dog Band (an early 60's group). Curiously, the Beatles featured it in Magical Mystery Tour during a scene where a lounge band plays it while a stripper dances.
Death Cab for Cutie
That night Cutie called a cab. Baby, don't do it She left her East Side room so drab. Baby, don't do it She went out alone in town Knowing it would make her lover frown. Death cab for Cutie Death cab for Cutie Someone's going to make you pay your fare.
The cab was racing through the night. Baby, don't do it His eyes, they were keeping Cutie in sight. Baby, don't do it When he saw Cutie it gave him a thrill Don't you know that baby cabs can kill? Death cab for Cutie Death cab for Cutie Someone's going to make you pay your fare.
Cutie, don't you play with fate. Don't you leave your love alone. If you go out on this date His heart will turn to stone. Bad girl Cutie, what have you done? Baby, don't do it Slipping, sliding down on Highway 31. Baby, don't do it The traffic lights change from green to red. They tried to stop but they both wound up dead. Death cab for Cutie Death cab for Cutie Someone's going to make you pay your fare. Someone's going to make you pay your fare. Someone's going to make you pay your fare Someone's going to make you pay your fare.

Yeah, I didn't realize until recently that Neil Innes of Monty Python and Rutles fame was previously a member of the Bonzo Dog Band. He wrote all the music for the Rutles' parody songs and for many Monty Python songs as well.
