Toad the Wet Sprocket was an American folk pop band which consisted of singer Glen Phillips, guitarist Todd Nichols, bassist Dean Dinning, and drummer Randy Guss.

Toad the Wet Sprocket was formed in 1986 at San Marcos High School just outside of Santa Barbara, California, and drew its name from the Eric Idle monologue "Rock Notes" on Monty Python's Contractual Obligation Album (1980). The band's first public appearance was at an open-microphone talent contest (which they lost) in September 1986.
