Gefilte fish on a stick! Spaw, yer a RIOT!!! Wait till I tell the fam...

Calamari in The Shade
That Smelt
One Two Baccala My Shoe

Sorry, Italian fish joke...

Here's one of MY favorites, a CLASSIC country song from the early 80's:

I LOBSTER AND NEVER FLOUNDER^^

I was a cook and she was a waitress
Down at the Salty Dog Seafood Cafe
And somewhere 'tween the clam juice and the seaweed salad
Some little shrimp just lured her away

Oh I lobster and never flounder
He wrapped his line around her
And they drove off in his carp
Oh I lobster and never flounder
I octopus his face in, he'll only break her heart.

I said just squid and leave me for that piano tuna
If you want to trout something new
She was the bass I ever had, now my life has no porpoise
Oh my cod I love her yes I do

Oh I lobster and never flounder
He wrapped his line around her
And they drove off in his carp
Oh I lobster and never flounder
I octopus his face in, he'll only break her heart.

Spoken: Frankly scallop, I don't give a clam!

Geez, you ARE in rare form, 'Spaw.

I'm a goin' fishing, let's go fishin,
You kin come a fishin' too!

And

You get a line an' I'll get a pole, honey
You get a line and I'll get a pole,
Meet you down at that crawdad hole
Honey, baby o' mine...

are fragments in mind -- make good hummin' on your way songs. Now, is that the best and greatest use of WW's humming? Dunno ... ask her!

Bing & Louis (aka GOD in my book):"Gone fishin' ".BTW hasn't there been a recent thread on this or has my deja vue met my premonition and cancelled out? Haven't fished much since childhood, but it's great therapy even if you never catch any thing isn't it!

It's that time of year. I have a river in my backyard and a mystery pal just put a new Browning casting rod and reel on my desk. I still have to buy, as Beanster says, the peripherals (I say about $500 worth of fishie tchotchkes) and, well, learn to fish.

But I feel I ought to have some good fishing songs to speed me on my way. I can't at this point think of a single one, except "Down in the meadow in an itty, bitty pool ...."

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
