Band Name Origins:
- No, the guy who said about the last name was the correct one. I'm not positive about the PHd thing, but..its definatly from fishman. check www.phish.com in the letters to the band section. the phil lesh thing isn't write..and i have no idea where the thing about fooling around with "phitch" is about. not correct Submitted by: cat-on
- Actually, all of them are wrong. Fish is taken from the name Jon Fishman. They changed it to PH because they all have PHd's in music. Submitted by: Eliza
Why the Name is Stupid:
- Isn't that a bit self-explanitory? I mean, even if they DID spell it "fish" isn't that still a bit odd? Submitted by: Susan

Story about this misheard lyric by: Sam Roberts I was with my friend listening to this song for the first time a long time ago. I heard the first line where this line is said and I misheard it. We couldn't stop laughing. Granted we were high at the time, but it was hilarious. We listened to that one like for over thirty minutes straight. Then we just sat with the music blasting playing video games and bobbing our heads the whole time. |
