What Phish sounds like to people that don't like Phish

This parody is at least a few years old, but I had never heard/seen it before. I just stumbled upon it here: livemusicblog.com...


It's a bit silly, but it cracked me up, so I figured I'd share it.
Especially the vocals/lyrics.

Ok, obviously I'm a Phish fan.......

This is hilarious, why haven't I seen this before? I'm almost ashamed lol it's pretty much what phish sounded like to me the first time I heard them. I'm going to have to post this on NSAbook

Holy Crap!!!

I followed these guys around New England in my younger years. I fell off when Trey did his own thing and I never looked back.

Ganja Goo Ball anyone?

The video is spot on.

What do you mean you followed them? You mean spied on them? Hum...? Makes you wonder.

Anyway I have never heard a Phis song and I will listen to the first video I find on YouTube.


How come no one told me about Phish? I like this song. It reminds me of when bands were really creative and played good music.

Phish was a tour band with quite the following. Kind of like the Dead except different. They would go from college to college. Play weekend events at abandoned airfields where thousands would Woodstock out so to say. You could bounce around from tent to tent and party to party and still hear Phish jammin out. Quite surreal at times. Mix that with some other mind altering stuff and my goodness.

I only am like a minute into this and I am dying already.

Thank you for attempting to murder me today.

I searched and found a few random music related websites where this was posted, and just skimmed over the comments. There were many more people who thought it was funny, but I did see several comments from hardcore fans that were angry about it. That got me to thinking about it, and I bet the guys in Phish even thought it was funny. I don't think Trey would be able to watch that without laughing. lol

I've watched it 5 or 6 times now, and it's still 'snippin' cracking me up every time.



Apparently, this parody is titled 'You Ate My Fractal', and this↓ is the T-Shirt for it. Supposedly, made by the same guy who did the song, whoever he may be.

I had to ask my good pal Merriam-Webster what a 'Fractal' was. It might even be slightly funnier now, because the phrase 'You Ate My Fractal' makes even less sense now than it did before. lol

fractal

: any of various extremely irregular curves or shapes for which any suitably chosen part is similar in shape to a given larger or smaller part when magnified or reduced to the same size

Personally, I've never been a real big fan, but I've had plenty of friends who were/are. It's probably safe to say that the 'creativity' part, is what they're all about. (The improvised live performances..... a Jam Band). They're not putting out hits.

I was kinda thinking that a better title for this might have been:
'This is what Phish sounds like when you're 100% Clean & Sober'.

I hadn't really paid much attention to the title. I didn't realize there were more of them. After a quick Youtube search for 'Shreds', I now see there are many many more. I'm gonna stay away from them for now, because I know that once I get started watching more, I won't be able to stop, but there are several that I wanna watch.

Creed just doesn't seem fair though. That shouldn't count. Scott 'The Macho Man' Stappage is just way too easy. They didn't have to edit the vocal track. I'm sure that's exactly what he sounded like. lol





@1:45, he did sound like Randy Savage. I thought it was intentional. I thought for sure that somewhere near the end of the song, I was going to hear 'Snap Into A Slim Jim'. I was actually quite surprised to not hear it.

Should have ended with,
"Yeah please kiss me. I know you want to........
........Snap Into A Slim Jim, aahhh yyyeeaaaaahhh!!"

Major Phish fan here! Great band and that video was hilarious!

Last I was able to see them was 2010 at Merriweather....I'm hoping to see them again this July but, we'll see.

I'm going to go watch that video again.
