Joan Baez sang a version; traditional ballad about a selkie--a seal that can take human form, and they live, if they live, between Scotland and Iceland and come up on all the islands and have sex with people. That's what I would've said if I'd been a Faroe Islands kid and gotten pregnant in 1350. "Jeez, daddy, it musta been a selkie!"
"The Glass Bottom Boat" (from the movie of the same name) sung by Doris Day:
The deep blue sea, the deep blue sea There's a lot to see in the deep blue sea The glass bottom boat, you will agree Can show you the magic of the deep blue sea

Oh I wish I was a fishy in the brook Oh I wish I was a fishy in the brook I'd go swimming with my cutie And without my bathing suitie Oh I wish I was a fishy in the brook
They call him Flipper, Flipper, faster than lightning, No-one you see, is smarter than he, And we know Flipper, lives in a world full of wonder, Flying there-under, under the sea!
It's a beehive of buddin' son and daughter life, Every family has plans in view. Even down in the brook, the underwater life Is forever blowin' bubbles too.

Underwater moonlight sets the body free. Underwater moonlight baby you and me. Underwater moonlight. He was pink and she was pink and onward they did row. Didn't see the giant squid though, it was fairly slow. When they hit the bottom they were well and truly dead. The statues took their place and then they rowed back home instead.

"Atlantis," Donovan I think those are all the sung words in the whole seven minute or however long thing--the rest is recitation, but the sung part repeats long enough to have satisfied stoners of 1968. Or so I hear.

What do they got? A lot of sand!
We got a hot crustacean band
Each little clam here
Know how to jam here
Under the sea
From Disney's Little Mermaid
rats, deborah beat me to it.

There's a hole in the bottom of the sea!
campfire song
It was sad, it was sad
It was sad when that great ship went down....
(to the bottom of the sea)
"The Titanic"
Underneath the waves
Mermaids wavin'
Wavin' to mermen
Wavin' sea fans
Sea horses sailin'
Dolphins wailin'
Red snappers snappin'
Clam shells clappin'
Muscles flexin'
Flippers flippin'

Under the sea
In an octupus's garden

I am a man upon the land
I am a silkie in the sea

Off the coast of Austraila
I dove way down deep
For all I could see of that Great Barrier Reef
It was nothing
Compared to you it was nothing

Come along and follow me
To the bottom of the sea
We'll join in the jamboree
At the Codfish Ball!
Oh I wish I was a fishy in the brook
Oh I wish I was a fishy in the brook
I'd go swimming with my cutie
And without my bathing suitie
Oh I wish I was a fishy in the brook
The turtle wished that it could fly
Way up high into the sky
Over rooftops and then dive
Deep into the sea
And in the sea there is a fish
A fish that has a secret wish
A wish to be a big cactus
With a pink flower on it
"Tree Hugger" - Kimya Dawson
a current favorite of my 4-year-old and my husband :)
Joy to world
All the boys and girls
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me
Fishy,fishy in the brook
Daddy caught it with a hook
Mommy fried it in a pan
And baby ate it as fast as she can.
~nursery rhyme song
They call him Flipper, Flipper, faster than lightning,
No-one you see, is smarter than he,
And we know Flipper, lives in a world full of wonder,
Flying there-under, under the sea!
~Flipper theme song.
I loved that show :)
We had a dog named Flipper, because of that show! TV shows used to have wonderful themesongs. Now... ih.
Bobbing along
On the bottom of the
Beautiful briney sea...
(I know it from a Disney sing-along tape from when Kirby was little. From "Bednobs and Broomsticks"? but I never saw the movie.)
We all live in a yellow submarine,
a yellow submarine,
a yellow submarine
Yellow Submarine ~ The Beatles
It's about as useless as a screen door on a submarine:
Faith without works, baby,
It just ain't happenin'.
Rich Mullins
Come up, come up
oh sweat Thresher Shark,
one of us today will die,
one will go down the other ones throat,
beneath the pitiless sky.
Shark Fisher's Chant -Leslie Fish
And with his brace and auger
In her side he bore holes three
And sank her in the Lowland,
Lowland, Lowland,
Sank her in the Lowland Sea.
"The Golden Vanity," traditional
Oh, a pirate's life is a wonderful life
They never bury your bones
For when it's all over
A jolly sea rover
Drops in on his friend Davy Jones!
Disney's Peter Pan
It's a beehive of buddin' son and daughter life,
Every family has plans in view.
Even down in the brook, the underwater life
Is forever blowin' bubbles too.
-"Spring, Spring, Spring" from "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers
I saw a starfish on the ground
He was half buried in the sand
-Sister Hazel "Starfish"
Oh come ye starry starfish
Livin' in the deep blue sea
Donovan... I forget the name of it
Rise again, rise again,
Let her name not be lost to the knowledge of men
All those who loved her best and were with her to the end.
Will make the Mary Ellen Carter rise again.
"The Mary Ellen Carter" -Stan Rogers
Underwater moonlight sets the body free.
Underwater moonlight baby you and me.
Underwater moonlight.
He was pink and she was pink and onward they did row.
Didn't see the giant squid though, it was fairly slow.
When they hit the bottom they were well and truly dead.
The statues took their place and then they rowed back home instead.
Underwater Moonlight by The Soft Boys
pandora, pandora's aquarium
She dives for shells
With her nautical nuns
pandora's aquarium...tori amos
Oh, the shark has pretty teeth dear
And he shows them pearly white
Mack the Knife (heard it on an oldies station while I was working in the yard)
The shells in the ocean
Will be my deathbed
The fish in deep waters
Swim over my head
"I Never Will Marry," traditional
Way down below the ocean
Where I wanna be
She may be
