Shark Attack

by @jeremykazoo

Liner Notes

Inspired to include some clapping in a song by @rowankingsbury, and a conversation with my daughter when she was very young. My first submission with my kazoo!

Lyrics

If there's one thing I never worry about
It's a shark attack on my street
They might be endangered but they've never endangered me.
They wander the ocean basins but ours is dry and arid
My safety assured by the complete lack of hammerheads

no man eating shark is out to get me.
They just don't live long on the prairie.

Even if there was water, the -40 would do them no good
Completely cold blooded they'd get no help from a coat and a hood
They can smell a drop of blood in water the size of Calgary
But with zero humidity they ain't smelling The Shining

no man eating shark is out to get me
They don't last long on the prairie

15 million years since we had an ocean man
It was the massive megalodon that was swimming around back then
But those seas all dried up and left a plain behind
Pretty sure I could out run him even if I had my feet tied.

Apex predator
Not in this weather
Solitary hunter
But not on these dirt roads

What I like about this is how it kinda, KINDA seems like it might be about something else, but NO it's actually about the safety of being landlocked, haha

The start and stop of the clapping is also fun. So fun and funny with a soulful kazoo. Well done.

Favorite line: "15 million years since we had an ocean man"

Fun write! Weaving in the megalodon put a smile on face, made wider by the kazoo.

I love this ! Finally! Someone has exposed the anti-shark establishment and their hateful lies about sharks! This is a very clever write highlighting all the reasons we (mostly) have no reason to fear sharks! I love the comparison of a drop of blood in the ocean to The Shining! Oh, and, I enjoyed that kazoo awesomeness at the end!
