Harry Hood (song)
"Harry Hood" is a song that is commonly performed live by the American band Phish, although it has yet to appear on a studio album. It is one of Phish's most frequently performed songs, featured in 345 live performances since its debut on October 30, 1985.
Background
"Harry Hood" refers to the Hood Dairy Co., a New England dairy company based in Boston. While the band was living with Brian Long in Burlington, Vermont next to a Hood milk plant, "Harry Hood" was the company mascot of the Hood Milk Co., and this character was featured in a 1970s television commercial in which people opened their refrigerator to find Harry Hood standing inside. The lyric, "Where do you go when the lights go out?" most likely refers to this advertisement, and to the automatic light in a refrigerator. A "Mr. Minor" is also mentioned in the song, a reference to a previous tenant of the house. While living in Mr. Minor's former apartment, calls for Mr. Minor by debt collectors and such would frequently interrupt band rehearsals. For that, the band added the line "Thank You, Mr. Minor."
