When the Foo Fighters were wrapping up their Your Favourite Toy album, Dave Grohl thought he had the perfect title. It came from a line in the title track that goes “Get back, hear that boy/Someone threw away your favourite toy for good.” “For Good” was the original name of the song, too. Those two words stuck in his head because they seemed to encapsulate many of the themes throughout the record.
So it was settled: The song would be called “For Good,” and the album would also be entitled For Good. But then, a problem.
The second Wicked movie came out on November 24, and it was called Wicked: For Good. That was annoying. Dave realized that there couldn’t be two things called For Good in the market at the same time, so that’s how both the song and the album ended up being called Your Favourite Toy.
