(The Great White Shark Who Played The Blues)


Official UnderGuide Entry

Beneath the sloopy surface of the Murky Mooblum Sea

The creatures of the deep were not as happy as could be

For several millennia they'd listened to the sound

Of several million of themselves, swimming round and round

Occasionally a Coelacanth would sing a little song

But couldn't keep the locals entertained for very long

And nowhere were the shortcomings of fishdom to be felt

More than in the Murky Mooblum Sea along the Fnertoid Belt




Well the mayor of Mooblum wasn't quite as bimbly as supposed

And within a few odd billion years a party was proposed

The likes of which the sub aquatic world had never seen

A super-modern, hyper-futuristic submarine

The best of Mooblumdom was on the guest list for the show

And so was all the worst as well as far as I should know

The Mooblecrabs, The Lobsterboys, The Squidulicious Pig

And Prehistoric Primal Slime all played a blindin' gig




But of all the acts who played there wasn't one who made the news

Like Old Blind Mad Fish Dog the Great White Shark who played the blues

He played The Deep Down Dirty Blues, he played Oh Wave to Me

He played the blues in every key, but mostly played in sea

With super wet vibrato licks and bottleneck techniques

He played a guitar solo that went on for seven weeks

While John Lee Fishhook and the band all did a splendid job

He howled like Howlin' Catfish and he wailed like Whalebone Bob

And so you ask 'was Murky Mooblums boredom problem solved?'

I couldn't say 'cos by the time they'd finished we'd evolved
