I think it's "Cunniff" with a C, though.  yep:  http://www.jillcunniff.com/ Looks like the Beasties probably spelled it wrong in their lyric sheet since every online lyric search spells it K single-N.  In which case, the way you have it is more correct as a direct quote from your subject.  Or possibly she spelled it that way back then as a punk version? I like the stage-dive panel.
