The style and sound of the band is a unique, somewhat bizarre mix between Anastasio's jam band style, the bass-oriented funk metal music of Claypool, and the reggae-influenced beats of Copeland. To many, this is considered to be the bridge between the music of Phish and Primus. After the release of the band's only album, The Grand Pecking Order in 2001, the band's members returned to work of material with their main bands.
On February 10, 2006, it was announced that Oysterhead would be reuniting for one more set at the Bonnaroo Music Festival.

@nuke97
Wow havent heard this before !! thanks!
@airbenz100
airbenz100 I first heard this on napster in the 90's. with bass amplifier hooked up, it had the most kickass bass of any song i had. It was more fun to listen to than any other cover of the song.
@mattassad4964
Yes!
@spershall
I can't listen to this band without fantasizing about being the peanut butter in a Stewart Copeland/Les Claypool sandwich.
@Nightfall95
@nuke97 No problem man! I love their cover of this song. I have a couple covers from this show if ya want me to put them up.
@airbenz100
@nuke97 i heard this when i downloaded it on napster in the 90's. with speakers and bass amplifier hooked up to the computer it had the most kickass bass of any song i had. and it's more fun to listen to than any other cover of the song.
@registerme2
So does the third phrase "Oh Oh! me ears are alight". which is what many people thought it was when I was a kid.
@Eilenbrat
"...I don't want to end up like Andy and Sting".
