1) The Huntingtons were a pop-punk band from Baltimore, Maryland.
They formed in 1993-1994 in the Maryland/Delaware area by Cliff Powell (aka Cliffy Huntington), Mike Holt (aka Mikey Huntington) and Mike Pierce (aka Mikee Huntington).
In 1996, their debut Sweet Sixteen was released by Flying Tart Records. A few months later, their first attempt at recording Ramones covers, entitled Rocket To Ramonia saw limited release via the Burnt Toast Vinyl label. At this point the band added a second guitarist, Tom Rehbein (currently of Small Towns Burn A Little Slower). After working with producer Mass Giorgini for the band's next album, Fun And Games, Tom was replaced by Brad Ber. After the album's release in the summer of 1997, the band started touring and gained a cult following. Their big break came in 1998, when they signed to Tooth & Nail Records and released High School Rock.
After touring for the High School Rock release, the band made a conscious decision to take their Ramones sound to the extreme and released five albums in a one year period. Live: The Good, The Bad And The Ugly, File Under Ramones and Get Lost all made it into stores before 1999 was over. The band also played the first of what would become two shows as Joey Ramone's backing band at at CBGB's in NYC. Plastic Surgery and Split were both released to stores in January of 2000. During this period the band went through multiple line-up changes before finally settling in for good with Josh Blackway (aka Jonny Huntington) on second guitar and Rick Wise, formerly of Tantrum Of The Muse, on drums.
The band spent the remainder of 2000 on the road touring throughout the US and Europe.
The spring of 2001 saw the release of Rock 'N' Roll Habits For The New Wave (a collection of newly recorded versions of selected songs from the band's pre-Tooth And Nail era). After perfecting their Ramones-meets-90's pop-punk sound, the band went in a much more pop oriented direction for the Songs In The Key Of You album, which was released in late summer 2001.
Cliffy left the band just before the release of the Songs In The Key Of You record and after a short break, the band regrouped with new guitarist, Andy Dibiaso and toured throughout 2002.
2003 brought two more releases from the band: an EP entitled The Soothing Sounds Of... and their final full-length of all new original material, Self-Titled Album.
The band ended their 10-year run in 2005 with a 30 song best-of disc entitled Growing Up Is No Fun: The Standards '95-'05 and played its final show at the Cornerstone Festival, bringing back Cliffy on guitar.
2) The Huntingtons were a late-60s garage rock band from Aberdeen, Washington.

Huntingtons Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I never wanna put anybody above you, no
'cause you're the only one for me
veronica I wanna kiss you
Don't wanna give myself a chance to miss you, no
'cause you're the coolest girl for me
When I walked up to you and I took your hand
And we danced all night and I held you so tight
do you remember the night when I walked you home
And all the times we talked on the telephone
And all the silly things you said to me
The lyrics to Huntington's song Veronica express the singer's strong feelings of love and devotion towards a girl named Veronica. He proclaims his love for her and asserts that he never wants to put anyone above her because she is the only one for him. He also expresses his desire to kiss her and not give himself a chance to miss her because she's the coolest girl for him.
The second half of the song is a reminiscence of past memories he shared with Veronica. He talks about the night they met at a dance, and how they danced all night, and he held her so tight. He also recalls the moment he walked her home and all the times they talked on the telephone, and how she said silly things that he cherished. The song is simple but powerful, full of pure innocent emotions that come straight from the heart.
