Dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum-dum... Theme music from Jaws Splash Grab Pull Blub Blub blub I make a pretty good shark, huh? A deranged dolphin is more like it. A shark's fin is straight and back- a dolphin's is curved, like yours. Well, you'd be deranged too if you were made to perform in front of crowds eight times a day. Whatever you say, Flipper.

They call him Flipper, Flipper, faster than lightning, no one you see is smarter than he. And we know Flipper lived in a world full of wonder.

I see today’s strip has already made it into Wikipedia!
“in a Sunday strip from August 28, 2011 Red plays a parody of Jaws (film), a film from 1975.”

The old fin in the water gag is far older than Jaws. I suspect the John Williams part has been added since then.

The reason he knows the song PRIOR to ’75 is because he is the brilliant originator! He just happened to share his little pool escapade with a buddy of his, a son of John Williams :).
