                      Herring California ( Skate Wolf)
   
          It's A Moray ( Sardine Martin) **

             No Milt Today ( Herrman's Hermit Crabs )

      ** Yes, I know......"It's A Moray " was first thought of by English poet & humourist Les Barker !

So, there arises the problem of just who we are going to get to sing all this Sole Music....


Fontella Bass?

Mary Kay Plaice?

Sting-Ray Charles?

Minnow Ripperton?

Catfish Hodge?

Billy Ocean?

Goldfish Mier


Or do we have to form up the best of us as "The Orange Roughy-ans"? Of course, we'll have to hold auditions to seperate the groupers from the groupies. We've got to be careful, as we're working without a net here, and we have to remember what happened to The Flying Wallendas and The Micky Mouse Club when they tried that. And we can't afford to gi in-seine, here, folks....

And we'll have to cull some salty fishing ditties from the Stan Bluegill collection.....

We can hold practice for our coral group out on the reefs and hope none of out singers develop polyps (though a little Neon-Tetra-Cyclene should clear that up). And, naturally, we expect you to work for scale, ...

Some of you Ick-Theologists can help select some proper Mackeral Worship songs besides "Praise Cod From Whom All Blessings Flow" for our upcoming sacred album....

And we have to get out the Old Bay Seasonal CD "Hark The Herring Anglers Sing" in time for the Christmas Rush....

Anybody have a photo of a baby-bass-in-net for the cover of the children's collection?

We need songs to warm the cockles of their hearts, so don't be shellfish now....

Don't think of these jokes as recycled as much as a Catch-And-Release Program....

WHAT?....I SAID........THIS WAS CAPTIONED FOR THE HORDE OF HERRING!!!!!

Actually, The ideal one to have had sung these songs was that fine chicken of the sea the late great Ethel Mermaid, star of "Annie Get Your Harpoon" etc., whose phenominally powerful voice always sang to the back roe. It was claimed back in the "Mudcat Advent Calendar '05" thread that she, in her long life, had been the one to sell the myrrh (antiquated spelling, but her kind were the source of the stuff) to the Three Wise Guys, causing the first Christmas Shopping Spree*.

Because of her unavailability, I feel we should consider instead our own Jeanine "Genie" Sprat, and we'll accept no "Not tonight, I've had a haddock." excuses.

If not, I suppose we could try and book Jennifer Cutting's Ocean Orchestra or something....

The lutefisk blues
by Solomon Gundy and the Ingonberries
:)

On the dish that inspired the song:
"Well, we tried the lutefisk trick and the raccoons went away, but now we've got a family of Norwegians living under our house"
The Ole and Lena joke book

"Lutefisk is not food, it is a weapon of mass destruction. It is currently the only exception for the man who ate everything. Otherwise, I am fairly liberal, I gladly eat worms and insects, but I draw the line on lutefisk" Jeffrey Steingarten, author of The Man Who Ate Everything

"Lutefisk is cod that has been dried in a lye solution. It looks like the desiccated cadavers of squirrels run over by trucks, but after it is soaked and reconstituted and the lye is washed out and it's cooked, it looks more fish-related, though with lutefisk, the window of success is small. It can be tasty, but the statistics aren't on your side. It is the hereditary delicacy of Swedes and Norwegians who serve it around the holidays, in memory of their ancestors, who ate it because they were poor. Most lutefisk is not edible by normal people. It is reminiscent of the afterbirth of a dog or the world's largest chunk of phlegm" Garrison Keillor's book Pontoon:

"Clams Have Feelings Too"
   
Birds are dumb cause small bird brain
But so are kids and old people
Some birds talk most other sing
I don't see you eating a talking bird
Pigs smell bad they roll in pooh
But so do kids and elderly
I don't see you chop off an old man's feet
Put them in a mason jar and pickle them
No chowder for you, cause clams have feelings too
Actualy they don't have central nervousness
No manhatten style, clams have the right to smile
Come to think about it they don't have a face
They have no face, no place for ears
There's no clam eyes to cry clam tears
No spinal cord, they must get bored
Might as well just put them out of misery
I don't believe it's selfish to eat defenseless shellfish
No chowder for you clams have feelings too
It could happen to you, clams have feelings too
I don't think they do, clams have feelings too
