Band Name Origins:
- It was originaly a name the band Isocracy (fellow gilman st. band) had used. Operation Ivy just borrowed the name from them and it just became permanent. The name Operation Ivy is the code name they gave to the first nuclear bomb testing they did in the Bikini Islands. Submitted by: jgfibnffodn
- It's taken from a nuclear testing program in the 50's, an attempt to create a fusion bomb which was more powerful than the fission bombs that were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. http://www.operationivy.com/name.php Submitted by: phildo

Story about this misheard lyric by: Dave Johnson I actually didn't mishear it this way, though Jesse's singing can occasionally be indecipherable (though he's a lyrical genius). Credit for this one goes to an ex of mine who used to see opiv all the time, but only had the album as a dubbed tape. For years, she thought those were the lyrics. Of course, this is the same girl who was once driving down the road with friends in her pink Bug, saw another pink car and said, 'I wish I had a pink car...' so do with this what you will... |
