Sharks and music

According to this news release, sharks can be trained to distinguish jazz from other kinds of music. So, at long last we can get a definitive answer to the question that has plagued Mudcat and others for years: what is folk music? Simply train a shark to recognize folk music. Then, whenever anybody asks whether X is folk music, just play X to the shark. The shark will react the way it has been trained to if it is folk music, and won't react if it isn't. Foolproof!

Hammerheads are particularly fond of M. C. Hammer.

Shipwreck ballads, music to their sensors.

Don't forget West Side Story,
with the Jets versus the Sharks.
