Squid fight at the Marquesas
Bookie tuna gives odds
Loaches, mollies, and guppies
You'll see
Even tetras and cods
Heaven's holdin' a full-moon
High tide just for us
Let's get seats by the squid-pool
Eel school
Just slithered off o'their bus
Come on
Seaweed is our friend
He'll hide us from sharks
Come on
'Til the inkin' ends
'Til the inkin' ends
You don't have to swim here
Current flows our way
Just open up all your gills
Sit still
And you can breathe okay
(instrumental)
I know your Daddy's a marlin
A billfish known to all
With fifty eels to attend him
They all send him
Squirm at his beck and call
But you won't need no swordfish, honey
Join me at ringside
Let's watch these calamari
Parry
All their tentacles and fight
Come on
Catfish is our friend
He'll usher today
Come on
'Til the inkin' ends
'Til the inkin' ends
Squid fight at the Marquesas
Watch them suckers compete
Got plankton that we can snack on
Back on
Our coral ringside seats
Ohhhh, come on
Come on
(blub blub blub blub)
Ohhhh, come on
Come on
(blub blub blub blub)
Ohhhh, come on
Come on
(blub blub blub blub)

Somethin' fishy about this parody.
Thanks Rick - this parody's a sonar-reflection from "Floundershout", I guess...
This is great! "Calamari parry" - hee hee! :-D
Meriadoc - thank you Sir, Ma'am, Sirmam, Mamsir, Ramsim, Simram, and Rimasm!
That's priceless...getting a fish parody out of this...fresh fish, I hope? LOL yea...I like the calamari too (but not to eat). Twisty title. :D
Thanks, Adagio! You betcha - them fishies are bold, saucy and FRESH all right!
Just how FRESH would that be? ;D

Of all the ones I have seen, this might have been the funniest. I was almost crying. I just heard Midnight at the Oasis a few days ago for the first time in years. Priceless!
I am sick and tired of unending arguments about what to name my new band...today I threatened to name the band "SQUIDFIGHT!" No reason. It just sounded goofy. A Google search turns up "Squid Fight At The Oasis." I lost half a Diet Coke out my nose...thanks Johnny D. You owe me a new keyboard!
Thanks, marriottblacklab, and thanks, KC --- Googling can be hazardous to your Coke! ;-)
After two years, let me commend you for an excellent parody of Maria Muldaur's opus (plus a clever parody of Dean Martin's work in your comment).
Thanks, JJ.
