Haven't heard the song, but I LOVE his work. I have his "Spawn 'Til YOu Die" cap and pin, his "Alaska Snacktime" tee shirt, his book on fish (autographed, no less!)....

Better than good. Almost better than best. I think he's off on the Burgess Shale stuff, though.

The only music advertised at Ray Troll's website is a CD called Dancing to the Fossil Record where it says "music composed and performed by Russell Wodehouse," and describes it as "contemporary, jazz-tinged grooves."

This page says Troll and Wodehouse perform together as the Rappin' Ratfish Brothers.

If that's not a song of his, mary, it's a line from one. I've heard it. Let me ask my Alaska brother, 'cause that's where I heard it. Back to you.
Blessings,
Barbara

You can hear this song at http://www.trollart.com/sound/004squawk.html. This is my transcription:


AIN'T NO NOOKIE LIKE CHINOOKIE
© Ray Troll 1987
As sung by The Squawking Fish on their album "Squawk n Roll" (1987)

Well, you know I really love you; yes, I really do.
We got a love that is so strong,
But there's one thing I been thinkin' as I sit in here a-drinkin',
Somethin' that you've known all along:

That, darlin', I love fishin' an' not just a-wishin'.
I've got to have that rod in my hand.
I want to set that hook; I don't want to read no book.
I know that you will understand
When I say that—

CHORUS: There ain't no nookie like chinookie.
There ain't no head like steelhead.
There ain't no motion like the ocean,
And there ain't no humpies in my bed.
No, there ain't no humpies in my bed.

There ain't nothin' like some lovin' from a salmonoid cousin.
It's so very sweet and sublime.
Ain't nothin' I love better than muckin' up my sweater,
Wallowin' in all of your slime.

Well, cold-blooded love is really where it's at,
An' I finally got a partner that don't talk back.
Ichthyology, it was never so much fun,
Just snaggin' all those fishes on the run.

That's why we say that—CHORUS

Don't ever kiss a coho or walk a dog salmon.
Don't ever sock a sockeye or go out bearded-clammin'.
You wouldn't give me herpes, no, not to this fella.
Just give me love an' with it, salmonella.

With Oncorhynchus nerka an' Oncorhynchus keta,
I tell you, boy, there's nothin' could ever get much sweeter,
So, baby, give me all of it, your hook line an' sinker.
I only want your oily little sphincter.

CHORUS


[The Squawking Fish—sometimes billed as "Ray Troll and the Squawking Fish"—consisted of Ray Troll, Caroline Minor, Russ Wodehouse, and Craig Koch. They were active in the 1980s.

[This song is also performed by Ray Troll and The Ratfish Wranglers on their album "Where the Fins Meet the Frets" (2007). The Ratfish Wranglers at this time consisted of Shauna Lee, Dave Rubin, Amos Hopkins, Craig Koch, and Patrick Troll.]
