2. According to Wikipedia...

"...The band's name comes from a Hindi term for a person providing cable television to a neighborhood. In a Vox interview, Rodney claimed the band took the name out of a Wired magazine article."

3. When I was about 12-13 years old,

in the early 70s, I had a friend that would say dishwalla. It was a joke for him.

dishwalla?
what?
dishwalla?
what?
do you swallow?

I never thought it was funny, but he sure did. I think of him every time I hear that song.
