Liner Notes

@pooka Lyrics, vocals
@morti Guitars, drum programming, backing vocals
@claudia Keys

@morti: I was really excited to collaborate with Pooka this FAWM and when he sent me these lyrics about some kind of fish or something, you can't imagine how angry I was but actually I really like how this turned out. Unbalanced Grass is back and we're awesome.
The above isn't all true. Pooka's a very dear friend and I got everything I both expected and wanted out of this. Just wanted to update in case anyone thought I was actually angry because I genuinely laughed my head off and had a lovely time.

@pooka: I had no idea how this was going to turn out; I just wanted to write a song about my favourite Pokémon. Morti turned it into something amazing - a mix of beachy vibes, soaring Pokémon-style guitars and a dash of late-noughties Unbalanced Grass. What he's not telling you is how many times I had to re-record these vocals, but whatever he did with them is great.

Lyrics

What's with this fish?
His scales are so red
His fins are so white
A crown on his head

But what has he seen?
His eyes are so wide
I'd like him to say
What he's feeling inside

Magikarp, Magikarp, Magi Magi Magikarp
Karp karp karp, Magi Magi Magikarp
Magikarp, Magikarp, Magi Magi Magikarp
Koiking Magikarp

There's more to him
Than meets the eye
His vacant stare
Points to the sky

For this cool fish
Has hopes and dreams
Magikarp knows
More than it seems

Magikarp, Magikarp, Magi Magi Magikarp
Karp karp karp, Magi Magi Magikarp
Magikarp, Magikarp, Magi Magi Magikarp
Koiking Magikarp

And so take in
His best of features
So innocent, he's
The best of creatures

Get Magikarp
And you'll beat Ash
With a simple command:
Magikarp SPLASH!
Magikarp SPLASH!
Magikarp SPLASH!

Magikarp, Magikarp, Magi Magi Magikarp
Karp karp karp, Magi Magi Magikarp
Magikarp, Magikarp, Magi Magi Magikarp
Koiking Magikarp

Magikarp, Magikarp, magical Magikarp
Karp karp karp, Magi Magi Magikarp
Magikarp, Magikarp, Magi Magi Magikarp
Koiking Magikarp

Magikarp, Magikarp, Magi Magi Magikarp
Karp karp karp, Magi Magi Magikarp
Magikarp, Magikarp, Magi Magi Magikarp
Koiking Magikarp

Magikarp, Magikarp, magical Magikarp
Karp karp karp, Magi Magi Magikarp
Magikarp, Magikarp, Magi Magi Magikarp
Koiking Magikarp
