Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Down With Disease. By Songfacts®.

Supposedly, this is the only Phish song to be given music video treatment. Directed by bassist Mike Gordon, it failed to get any airplay and has been hugely ignored (MTV2 played it occasionally). It did, however, appear on Beavis & Butthead, only to be turned off a second later. Beavis & Butthead made sure to mention that fish swim in their own poop.

Tom Marshall, who wrote the lyrics to this and many other Phish songs, has said in interviews that this is about the time he had mono and was sick in bed for weeks.
