Long before the existence of memes or viral #content, there were certain random cultural moments which inspired long-running, often-repeated in-jokes for families, groups of friends or connected communities.
For hard rock fans of a certain vintage, one such moment occurs at the beginning of Aerosmith's video for 1989 single Love In An Elevator, where a department store elevator operator, played by model, actress and future Mrs Nikki Sixx, Brandi Brandt, recognises vocalist Steven Tyler, and purrs, "Good morning Mr Tyler, going... [saucy pause, lowering of eyes] down?"
Iconic.
Anyways, with that scene-setting out of the way, let's get to the point. Last night (July 11) hugely successful US 'jam band' Phish made an appearance on the The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, to promote their new album Evolve, and threw in some light comedy as a bonus, by delivering an a cappella, perfectly harmonised bespoke vocal cover of Love In An Elevator with its chorus adjusted to “Phish in an Elevator.”
