Fishbone 101: Nuttasaurusmeg Fossil Fuelin' the Fonkay is a two-CD compilation album by the American rock band Fishbone, released in 1996 by Sony Music. The first disc contains album tracks (some in edited versions) from the Fishbone albums up to 1993. The second disc contains B-sides, alternate versions, EP tracks, demos, and other non-album items from the same time period.[1] "The Goose" is a previously unreleased cover of the song by the funk band Parliament. The previously unreleased demo track "Alcoholic" was later rerecorded for the 1996 studio album Chim Chim's Badass Revenge. The previously unreleased demo track "Pink Vapor Stew" was later reworked as "Party at Ground Zero" on their 1985 debut Fishbone, and another demo recording, "Game of Destruction", was also reworked as "Pressure" on their third LP, 1991's The Reality of My Surroundings.[2]
