Background notes
Archive material and source history
Boys Don't Cry came out of Liverpool with a single that caught people off guard. "I Wanna Be a Cowboy" wasn't what anyone expected from an alternative rock band in the early 90s, but its oddball charm and deadpan delivery made it stick around. The song became their calling card, a strange little anthem that somehow worked.
They released three albums between 1993 and 1999, starting with the self-titled record that featured "I Wanna Be a Cowboy." Their later work moved into more polished and sometimes darker territory, but that first single remained what most people remembered them for. The band broke up in 2002 after nearly a decade together.
What's left is mostly that one peculiar song and the memory of a band that didn't quite fit anywhere. "I Wanna Be a Cowboy" still surfaces occasionally, a reminder that sometimes the strangest ideas are the ones that last.
