There is a form of paper work for unemployment called UB41. None of the band members had jobs or could get them so they all filed for unemployment. The money they got from it was used to start a band named after the form UB41. They didn't really get a good hit until Red Red Wine sometime in the '90s. I believe they are still preforming as a band, but have yet to have another hit as big as Red wine.
