In case anybody out there cares, the name "Benoni" appears in the Bible, in the book of Genesis. It appears when poor Rachel, the well-loved wife of Jacob/Israel and mother of Joseph, lies dying in childbirth. When the midwife tells her that she has just given birth to a second boy, she names the child "Benoni", which translates as "Son of my sorrow." However, after her death, Jacob decides such a name would be too burdensome for the boy, so he changes the name to "Benjamin," which has been translated as "Son of my right hand," and (I believe) "Son of the south." Just a little Biblical trivia, lol. P.S. This is a rather strange song.
