Band Name Origins:
- The phrase "hot tuna" in drug-speak refers to when you are high on heroin - it's the opposite of "cold turkey". Submitted by: Heather
- The band was not originally called "Hot Shit".Guitarist and singer Jorma Kaukonen says the name Hot Tuna comes from a question posed in their song "Keep On Truckin' Mama".The song asks "Now whats thats smell like fish,oh baby,I really would like to know?"The answer is ,of course, "Hot Tuna".Incidentally,Hot Tuna's albums are credited as "Fish O'Baby" productions.
