There are other artists with the same name:
2) Airhead is a metal band of four formed in 2003 at Tampere, Finland. The music is versatile and obviously influences are picked up from various musical genres. In short its a mix of lowtuned guitaring, distinctive rhythms uncommon to the genre and catchy melodies topped with sarcastic yet fun lyrics. This self-assured group would get bored by sticking to one type of music so they constantly need to evolve and develop their unique style, which today could be labeled as Street Metal.
3) Airhead (formerly Jefferson Airhead) is a British indie-pop band that achieved some success in the early 1990s, at the tail end of the Madchester music movement.
They are likened to The Wonder Stuff, Flowered Up, The Mock Turtles and early Blur. Forced to change their name from Jefferson Airhead due to its (deliberate) similarity to Jefferson Airplane, Maidstone-based band Airhead achieved minor UK Singles Chart success with singles "Funny How" and "Counting Sheep". After releasing one album and a handful of singles, they were dropped by their record label Korova and released their final record, the That's Enough EP on Mother Tongue. They are probably best remembered for "Funny How", which although not their highest-charting single was played heavily on BBC Radio 1 at the time of its release.
In 1996, Airhead made a brief return to the live scene, when they supported Kula Shaker, at the Tunbridge Wells Forum.

I Don't Mind
Airhead Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You take your best shot, have a go, but there’s so much stuff that you don’t know about me
These days someone as nice as me is hard to find
You can call me if I’m free, I don’t mind
We all know that life’s not fair
Well you can dance or you can sit and stare at the floor
Say all the things you want about me now, I don’t care
These days someone as nice as me is hard to find
You can call me if I’m free, I don’t mind
I don’t mind the things you say, you never mean them anyway
You know the score, there’ll come a time
When things turn round, well I don’t mind
The Airhead song "I Don't Mind" is about a person who is secure in themselves and their value, despite being constantly belittled and insulted by others. The opening lines suggest that the other person may think they have the upper hand, but the singer of the song is not blind to their insults and negativity, and knows more about them than they may realize. The repeated line "call me if I'm free, I don't mind" is a clear indication that the singer is not bothered by the negativity, and is content in their own worth and ability to handle it.
The chorus of the song takes a turn from focusing on the other person's insults to discussing the larger issue of the unfairness of life itself. The singer acknowledges that life isn't fair, but rather than become discouraged or defeated by this fact, they remain hopeful and continue to dance and live in their own truth. The phrase "I don't care" is repeated at the end of the second verse, emphasizing the singer's self-assurance and lack of concern for what others may say or do.
Despite the repeated reassurances that the singer is unbothered by the other person's insults, the bridge of the song suggests that there may come a time when the tables turn and things change. The line "there'll come a time when things turn round" implies that the singer believes in karma or some kind of ultimate justice, but regardless of whether or not that happens, they will still be secure in their own self-worth and value as a person.

One of my favourite bands and very underrated, I think they only ever made the one album.
Steve Atchison
Absolute classic album, criminally overlooked
Sam Deville
Dug this CD out last weekend, took me straight back to the nineties. Stellar band.
This video though, probably cost no more than 10 quid to make.
Shaun Garaghty
The videos got better and better ( and more expensive)
