THE MUD SHARK DANCING LESSON!
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 out 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
of 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 ist more interesting --a
succulent young lady (Mnaaah!) 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
Out
You go out
So far out
You do the Mud Shark, baby . . . etc.
