Happy Birthday Jon Fishman: That Time He Covered Katy Perry

Rob Slater on February 19, 2015

Today, Phish drummer Jon Fishman hits half-a-century and to celebrate, let’s turn back the clocks to 2009 where he delivered his crown jewel on stage. The first “Harpua” of the 3.0 era and first in over six years featured one of Fish’s most adventurous moments on stage (which is saying a lot) when he covered the then-popular “I Kissed a Girl” by none other than Katy Perry. It went about as you’d expect.

In the words of Trey Anastasio: “So wrong on so many levels.” Relive that glorious moment below.
