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?
