The Oz

Питерская группа "Оркестр ЗАЧЕМ", записала несколько политических и малоизвестных песен Джона Леннона. Сначала планировалась запись этих песен на русском языке, и компания EMI была не против, но когда запись шла к концу, вдруг передумала и запретила их переводить. Пришлось петь их по английски, после этого как-то нелепо было представлять эту программу с русским названием группы, было решено найти удобное для англоязычных слушателей название, которое сложилось из первых букв коллектива, кроме того у Джона есть несколько песен, с похожими названиями: "Do The Oz" и "God Save The Oz".
