The name of the band is a corruption of (the actual Ukrainian term would be "співаючі труси"). The Russian term "singing panties" is a popular sarcastic reference to the proliferating scantily-clad girl groups with poor vocal abilities and undemanding lyrics in late Soviet and the subsequent post-Soviet pop music scene.Marian J.
