Fish, fishing

(Read only, anymore; sorry.)
Short version of rules
Without using a search engine to find one, write down at least eight words of a song containing the word (or the topic, if it's a general topic).
If it's the newest word, play once, and wait for another player to play before you go again.
On older words, you can play over and over without waiting!

"You and me goin' fishing in the dark, lyin' on our backs, countin' the stars, where the cool grass grows"
(Nitty Gritty Dirt Band)
(That's been stuck in my head for two days...maybe now it will leave.) ;)
There are men who in their leisure
Like to fish for salmon
There are others who for pleasure
Like to play backgammon
(G. & I. Gershwin)
Fish heads, fish heads, roly poly fish heads.
Fish heads, fish heads, eat them up, yum.

"fish in the sea, you know how i feel
river running free, you know how i feel . . ."

"summertime and the living is easy, fish are jumping and the cotton is high"

Short ones, tall ones,
Fine ones, kind ones,
Too many fish in the sea
The Marvelettes
Singing Joy to the World
All the boys and girls now
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me

Good one, Benjamin! It made me think instantly of this one, also from "Porgy & Bess":
Old Jonah, he live in that whale
Old Jonah, he live in that whale
Yes, he made his home in
That fish's abdomen
Old Jonah, he live that whale
What a wonderful day for fishing
The old Hawai'ian way
Bing Crosby "The Hukilau Song"
Oh girl when I'm in love with you,
keep fishin' if you feel it's true.

Now I know you're not the only starfish in the sea
If I never hear your name again it's all the same to me
Red Rubber Ball
The Cyrkle
Joe Schnumm, fish at large;
The first time I saw him
He was under a barge.
--"Joe Schnumm," by John Acorn, from his TV show Acorn, the Nature Nut. A teaching song about water pollution and conservation.
Deborah - you stole Jeremiah's song! (I know, that isn't it's name, but it is here!). Also, did you know that Paul Simon wrote "red Rubber Ball"?
And on that note...
"My father was a fisherman, my mama was a fisherman's friend.
And I was born in the boredom and the chowder.
So when I reached my prime, i left my home in the Maritimes,
And headed down the turnpike to New England, sweet New England."
Paul Simon, "Duncan's Song"
