worked too.

Hi,

I just got my copy of Doniac Schvice today and what do I see from the pen
of Mike himself, the true words of what they are saying in You Enjoy
Myself:

"Wachusett Fiji is sun-hives to floor antsy."

Hey, I didn't make it up. There it is.

I was also reading about how they came up with the songs for "A Live
One." Mike mentions fond memories of Spartansburg which happens to be the
only Phish show that I have ever been to see. So here is a real genuine
newbie grovel, could someone please please send me an A+ copy of that
show. I have blank Maxell XLII 100 tapes ready to go. I would be ever
grateful for your kindness.

I will always attest to:

Wash Uffitze drive me to Firenze.

(Unsure of the word "wash," however...)

Uffitze is pronounced oofeetsy (3 syllables, not 2). It's a museum in
Italy, and Firenze is Italian for the city of Florence (Italy).
Honestly, we will never know for sure, but the ver. of YEM on Junta is
somewhat slower than in concert, and if you have good speakers, you can
hear the lyrics very well. (When I'm singing along, this is all I
could even think of that works...)

Trey told me the lyrics after i pleaded with him while i was perched at

my drunken persistence, he told me the background to the lyrics and then
the lyrics. He seemed a bit taken back by the fact that he fessed up- so
in his honor, i'll let all you clueless newbies continue to suffer the

i have met mike gordon, too, and he told me it is "wash aj abrams feetsies,

I met Trey a few years back, and he told me it was something that erupted
spontaneously with Phishman during their trip through Italy. After
playing outside the Uffizi, they were on their way to Florence (Firenze in
Italian) and started singing "What's Uffizi, Drive me to Firenze"

Jon

[Michael J. Symon]

Won't this question ever die?

Look it's plain and simple, at one time they were saying something
about "what's your fee to drive me to frenze?(sp?)" (you know the italian
taxi story) and some variations on that but then everyone and I mean
everyone started asking them what they were saying. This led the band,
phans, and all others concerned to start making up answers to this
question. At some shows the band has even sang different lyrics judt to
confuse people. The point is that what they are saying is not important and
even if you ask the band they will not give you a straight answer. Please
let this thread die and make up your own answer to this question.

I never thought I'd see the day when I responded to a WHATSIYEM post
again, but hey, you're never too old to ride a bike, right?

Aaaaaanyway...

You know, for all the guesses, and interpretations and so-and-so band member
told me, this, to me, seems to be the most believeable. I don't know why
either, it just does. Probably because it sounds correct if you say it.
I don't know Italian, and if someone said Uffizi to me, I'd proabably ask
them "What's Uffizi?" too. Couple that with those guys and their strangeness,
and it sounds good enough for me to believe. FWIW, from now on, this is the
story I'll believe.

BTW, believe everything you see, read, hear, have signed or tapped out to you.

I heard a rumour that they are actually saying

Buoy Man Cod Ship

JB

[Mapleleef]

wash your feet and drive me to firenzi
say it real fast or in other funky ways and you'll realize i am right

[TripnBilli]

All of these sound like it, but I think the right phrase is, " Watch your
fancy drive me to frenzy".

[DMalo57893]

They say "Piece of cheese, I want to see
Ananci".
Hope this helps!

[Josh Hedderich]

I was reading in the Phish newsletter, and that same question popped up.
Phish said that what they are saying is......"Washa Uffizi drive me to
Firenze"
Hope that helps you all out!

[Mark mez]

It has to be Watch your feces drive me to Velenzey!
This question was asked in th Doniac Schvice and I think Mike answered it
was
"Watcheset feegee is sun hives to floor antsy." (In case you were
wondering, yes he was joking).

Are you sure?

Come on, it doesn't matter
But while riding on a bus with a passenger
with bad foot odor.

"wash your feet please, they are driving me into a frenzy"

and they're only milking the mystery.

It's washa uffizi and drive me to firenze, not wash your face and drive
me to Firenze.

No. As Mike clearly iterated to me backstage at Great Woods last June,
its "I Ain't Gonna Work On Maggie's Farm No More."

p.s. ;^) (Latin for "Wash Uffizi")

[Steven Nilsen]

No, I remember somebody posting that it is actually "What's Uffizi drive me to
Ferenze." The story went something like this:
Dude was talking with Trey, asked the question, Trey responds, says they were
cruising through Italy when Fish begins singing "What's Uffizi? (where they
had just been) Drive me to Firenze." Then it just caught on.

Well if there is any thruth to what alleged Dude had said, then ther's you
answer. End of discussion.
but then...

Okay, Ignorant. I've always thought of washa as meaning wash
(the verb), as is the case in Reba (tiea, sinka, etc.) The Uffizi
mueseum just is. Therefore we have: (Implied you) wash[a] [the] Uffizi.

Rather than look for a deeper meaning, I'll spend my time getting
TCP/IP and SLIP running, because my shell account expires tomorrow. 8*(

P.S. I just remembered I have *another* friend at Stanford.

Stop asking what they're saying in YEM... It's whatever you want it to be.
