裸體淑女合唱團(tuán)(Barenaked Ladies)是一個曾獲得格萊美提名的加拿大搖滾樂隊(duì)，由1988年活躍至今。2007年樂隊(duì)為生活大爆炸寫了主題曲。 98年因一曲“One Week”榮登全美告示單曲及現(xiàn)代搖滾榜雙料冠軍，讓Barenaked Ladies一下子紅翻全球，也讓樂迷們正視及注意到他們的音樂。這組成軍于加拿大多倫多的Barenaked Ladies，由主唱兼吉他手Steven Page、主奏吉他手Ed Robertson兩位為樂團(tuán)主軸及創(chuàng)作中心。他們于92年推出的首張專輯《Gordon》，在廣泛融合民謠、搖滾、藍(lán)調(diào)等元素加上幽默自省、輕松活潑等漫想的詞意內(nèi)容，讓Barenaked Ladies首次出擊即獲得了滿堂彩，All Music Guide網(wǎng)站更給《Gordon》四顆星的高評。

基本內(nèi)容：在Barenaked Ladies Are Me發(fā)行之后的第二張專輯，也是他們放棄大廠牌之后的第二張專輯，這支加拿大團(tuán)體是我認(rèn)為被 underappreciated的代表，他們的音樂總是能夠給人驚喜，雖然我不是很喜歡他們最成功的One Week，但是對于其他的一些作品我是相當(dāng)喜歡的，對于他們商業(yè)上的不完全成功感到很失望，他們的這張專輯依然如同之前的專輯一樣的好聽，雖是indie 樂隊(duì)，但是絕對要超越很多英國的indie團(tuán)體，也許他們最大的資本就是音樂的好聽。
他們演唱了美劇The big bang theory的主題曲《the history of everything》
他們廣受好評的歌曲有《it's only me》《what a good boy》《brain wilson》《it's all been done》《pinch me》
Barenaked Ladies Are Men is a companion disc to the predecessor, Barenaked Ladies Are Me. Although recorded during the same studio sessions, the discs were released five months apart. Are Me is the quieter of the two, while Are Men could be described as the feistier, noisier twin brother. Given their adult contemporary history, the Ladies's version of 'feisty' is hardly a venture into death metal, however Are Men contains an evolutionary quality that may well bring new fans into the fold. Nearly two decades into their career, the lads' growth can in part be measured by a handful of increasingly layered soundscapes ("Serendipity," "Another Spin") that bear a slight resemblance to the harmonies that the Beach Boys were penning around the time of their Pet Sounds release. The disc's biggest surprise is the politically cutting "Fun& Games," written from the perspective of a world leader assessing the war. "There's no need to draft them/you could hear us laugh then/the poor and black all need the room and board" sings Ed Robertson, as a New Orleans-style jazz band poignantly encircles the vocals. "One and Only" is a lush track that combines the harmonies a la Crosby, Stills, and Nash with a Foo Fighters-style chorus. Longtime fans can rest easy, however knowing that other tracks ("Running out of Ink," "Half a Heart") are done in that straight-up, traditional Barenaked style that fuses catchy pop melodies with clever lyrics.
