Chris may have been inspired by an old European fairy tale, "The Fisherman and His Wife," wherein the fisherman of the title is granted a wish in return for sparing the life of a magical fish. (The story was collected in the early 19th century by the Brothers Grimm, and not long afterward inspired a famous Russian poem by Alexander Pushkin.) Alternatively, he might just be dishing out random gibberish as usual.
'''I Got A Fish''' is a video uploaded by [[Chris]] to [[YouTube]] on 27 [[April 2009]]. In this video, Chris jog-dances in place while a stupid song full of [[random-access humor]] that he made up plays in the background. The song is about his apparent possession of a wish-granting fish; despite this claim, he does not actually have one. It should be noted that the video features a voiceover, something he didn't do often. It's also probably the closest that Chris has ever come to carrying an actual tune.


The video is so bizarre and stupid that [http://www.wbcn.com/topic/play_window.php?audioType=Episode&audioId=3705145 the fucking ''media'' got in on it]. It's just the radio, but Chris's [[fail]] cannot stay contained for much longer.

Welcome to the David Lynch movie of your nightmares.
WBCN, hitting the nail on the head.

I Got A Fish is a video uploaded by Chris to YouTube on 27 April 2009. In this video, Chris jog-dances in place while a stupid song full of random-access humor that he made up plays in the background. The song is about his apparent possession of a wish-granting fish; despite this claim, he does not actually have one. It should be noted that the video features a voiceover, something he didn't do often. It's also probably the closest that Chris has ever come to carrying an actual tune.

The video is one of the few cases where the mainstream media got in on it.

The audio file included with the Power series of videos is a modified version of this song, but with the word "fish" replaced with "dick."

Chris reprised the song in Twelve New and Old Things of Christmas (2015), and again on New Year's Day 2020, where he included it in his first tweet of the decade.[1]
