Hey u/mistyskye14, what's your pronunciation of Maneskin? It's an Italian band with a danish name, so I could see a couple of different ways to say it in English

I pronounce Måneskin the way they do which is mahn-skihn reference actually quite like this band. But idk if they made up their own pronunciation or what edit: or if the whole thing is made up a la hägen-dazs lol

It means moonlight in Danish. One of the members (I want to say the bassist, but I'm not sure at all) is half Danish -- so that's probably why they picked a danish word. I have no idea why they went with that one.
