THE MUD SHARK DANCING LESSON!
Mud Sh-sh-shark
We're gonna do a little dancing,
A little dancing thing called the Mud Shark
Now, this dance started up in Seattle
Lemme tell you 'bout the Mud Shark...
The origins of the Mud Shark are as follows: There's a motel in Seattle,
Washington called the Edgewater Inn. The Edgewater Inn's built on a pier.. so
that means that when you look out your window you don't see any dirt --
it's got a bay or something out in your backyard,,, And to make it even more
interesting, in the lobby of the aforementioned motel there's a bait and tackle
shop where the residents can go down whenever they want to, and rent a fishing
pole and some preserved minnows and schlep back up to their rooms, open the
window, stick their little pole outside and within a few minutes actually catch
a fish of some sort that they can bring into their motel room and do whatever
they want with it... you know what I mean?
Now in this bay there's quite a variety of ah... fish! Not only do they have mud
sharks up there, they got little octopusses that you can catch. And all these
denizens of the deep can come in real handy...
Let's say you were a travelling Rock and Roll band called the Vanilla Fudge.
Let's say one night you checked into the Edgewater Inn Motel with a 8mm movie
camera, enough money to rent a pole, and just to make it more interesting -- a
succulent young lady (Mnaaaah!) with a taste for the bizarre...
My mind drifts back to a meeting, a chance meeting in the Chicago O'Hare Airport
where the members of the Vanilla Fudge told Don Preston about a home movie they
made at the Edgewater Inn with a Mud Shark. I'm gonna tell you, this dance, the
Mud Shark, is sweeping the ocean!...
Out
You go out
So far out
You do the Mud Shark. baby ... etc
