"Sample in a Jar" is a song by the American band Phish.

On the surface, the lyrics seem to deal with a relationship argument while intoxicated. In The Phish Book, Trey mentioned that the song is “basically about sitting in a car with the seatbelt on, drunk.”[1]

The song is covered by the band Little Feat on the album Chinese Work Songs. [2]
