Smash Notes
What Inspired the Name “caspar Babypants”
at 2:40
Answer
Caspar was Chri's nickname while performing with Mark Sandman and a band called Morphine in the 1990s. Chris was living in Boston, and when it got really cold outside, he needed a hat, except he had no money for one. Instead, Chris found a pair of wool baby pants in a clothing exchange and it fit perfectly on his head! The kids in his neighborhood started to call him Babypants.
When The Presidents ended and Christ started to sing for the kids, he put Caspar and Babypants together and became Caspar Babypants.
