We all remember the day that Phish gave Seattle the wonderful idea to use the "Wiiiilsooon" chant to announce the arrival of #3 to the field.
Trey Anastasio (lead guitarist of Phish, pictured above) did a cover of a Gorillaz song called "Clint Eastwood" on his album Traveler. The cover is definitely worth a listen and Jennifer Hartswick uses her voice to great effect. The last verse mentions a Russell. Obviously the original songwriters were referring to someone else but so was Anastasio when he wrote "Wilson" thirty-some years ago for his music thesis that no one was even supposed to hear.
It was just a happy coincidence that their names happened to be the same.
Anyway the line from "Clint Eastwood" goes "...through Russell, not his muscle but percussion he provides."
What's that I hear you say? Percussion has absolutely nothing to do with the Seahawks' Wilson? Ah, but that is where you are wrong.
If you want to be even sillier, as phans are prone to do, you might even notice that Phish have another song called, what else, "Alaska."
