"Sample in a Jar" is a song by the American band Phish. It was released as the second single from the band's fifth studio album, Hoist. The song peaked at No. 49 on the Radio & Records Rock chart.[1]

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.”[2]
