Took me a minute to remember, then..... YEAH! According to Wikipedia:

Eric Idle, the [Monty Python] sketch's original performer, reflected on the band's name in a 1999 performance:

"I once wrote a sketch about rock musicians and I was trying to think of a name that would be so silly nobody would ever use it, or dream it could ever be used. So I wrote the words "Toad the Wet Sprocket". And a few years later, I was driving along the freeway in L.A., and a song came on the radio, and the DJ said, "that was by Toad the Wet Sprocket", and I nearly drove off the freeway."
