80's Sea Creatures Song Trivia

The theme for today's 80's trivia is sea creatures in honor of such famous songs like, "Rock Lobster" by the B-52's. After all, I've been known to throw a lobster or two on the grill during a cookout (right next to a pile of shrimp). And the song is one of the all time greatest party tunes, beloved by fans of 80's music and fans of seafood alike.

The song mentions plenty of other sea creatures besides lobsters. It includes references to clams, mussels, jellyfish, piranha, narwhals, catfish, and stingrays. It prompts me to wonder if the undersea world provided a theme for any other records from the 80's . . . In fact, it did!

The cover of Bananarama's first album shows the girls frolicking under the waves, accompanied by dolphins, tuna, halibut, and at least one lobster. What was the name of the album?

Bonus Question: If the B-52's and Bananrama can be said to have displayed a passing fixation with sea creatures, there was another band from the 80's that was downright obsessed. Song titles like "Fish Below The Ice," "Hammerheads," "Coelacanth & "Underwaterboys;" lyrics that remind us that "we could still end up with the great big fishes." What was the name of the band?
