Sorry, but unfamiliar with the first song. I am familiar with “Moon River” by Andrew Williams (1927-2012) and “At the Hop” by Daniel Rapp (1941-1983) and the Juniors though. As for the modern-day ear worm “Baby Shark”, I would’ve preferred “Under the Sea” by Samuel E. Wright (1946-2021).
The fish prodigy really had me with Moon River, but from there on, not so. After that all I could see was a fish filet, lightly fried with waffle fries.
And in breaking news, the concert over at the Breaking Cat News home was abruptly ended when a ravenous Garfield showed up. The Peep toads were quickly dispatched and digested. The cats attending the concert described it as a horrendous sight for all to witness. Film at Eleven.
Yeah, I’m not too fond of “Baby Shark” either. I guess that was what changed Garfield’s mind about using the singing fish to make money. Also, since people have been mentioning Michigan J. Frog, I remember my mom recorded that cartoon for me off of TV years ago when it aired on “The Bugs Bunny and Tweety Show”. And there was also the “VeggieTales in the City” episode “The Singing, Dancing Lobster”, which you can tell by the title is pretty self-explanatory.
Reminds me of an old joke.While, flying south a bird gets caught in a blizzard. Its wings freeze and it falls to the ground. As it is very close to freezing to death, a cow comes along and deposits a cow patty on the bird which thaws it out and saves its life. It is so happy, that it sings at the top of its voice. Overhearing it, a coyote uncovers the bird and eats it.
There are three morals to this story:
1. Not everyone who craps on you is your enemy.
2. Not everyone who takes crap off you is your friend.
And last but certainly not least:
3. When things are going your way, keep your frigging mouth shut!
Golly, I’m just sitting here reading the Funnies today with a tape playing Doo Wop in the stereo and the Flamingos played “I Only Have Eyes For You.” It took me a couple of weeks before I realised that was an ad on TV and several more times to figure out what was being advertised. The music and the ‘story’ were far more important than Bezos’ pseudo-monopoly.
That singing fish got exactly what he deserved for singing “Baby Shark”> Garfield deserves an award (lifetime supply of lasagna?) for saving the world from being tortured bt that fish singing it.
I worked at a bar in college and we had a DJ night and this bald guy played baby shark 6 in the night. Some times twice in a row. I wanted to violent things to him also but I am a human and do need money.

Nice to know Jim Davis hates Baby Shark. I do to with passion. Under the Sea is way better than that pile of hot garbage.

I think a fish HAS to sing “Baby Shark”. Clever, except now it’s stuck in my head.

Maybe if the fish sang a song about lasagna then maybe he would have not eaten the fish.
