This article needs a lot of work. -- Zoe

Is the title of the album really Suprise, or Surprise? -- Zoe

OK, I looked it up. As I expected, it's SuRprise. -- Zoe

Removed link from Pub rock (UK) as I don't think this band fit the bill, esp. if they were not formed until 1987 quercus robur

I can't help but point out that In 1994 they released their first album Deluxe in 1995. is the most incredible sentence I've ever seen.

Revert

For some reason, someone blanked the talk page. I put it back. DCB4W 01:28, 24 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Name

You probably don't know that Ezra is a very common name by Israeli men. I don't know about the name of the band, but now when you know that Ezra is a name might give you a tiny clue for the band's name.

Ezra was the original singer in the band before they where signed, he left becuase he thought the rest of the band had no talent, though soon after his departure the amount of people who went to their shows sky rocketed, thus they renamed theirselves "Better than Ezra"

The band has only had one singer. So the story above about an "original singer" is not true. Per the article, the band does not disclose the origins of its name. Unless that changes (and I doubt it will), there is no reason to speculate as to the origins of the name.--Mercer123 21:49, 23 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nikka Costa sample

Can someone add that BTE sampled Nikka Costa's 2001 song "Everybody's Got Their Something" for "Juicy"?

And "Everybody's Got Their Something" was also used for Desperate Housewives ads.[1]

Nope, The Ezra version "Juicy" is used on Desperate Housewives

They did a cover of the the love is stronger than death

Unanswered

I sent a letter to them asking about concert dates, free stuff, etc., but they didn't write back! Very dissapointing.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.154.84.226 (talk) 19:39, 22 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
