The Salmon Dance |
| Hello boys and girls, my name is FatLip, |
| And this is my friend Sammy the Salmon. |
| What 'do? |
| Today, we're going to teach you some fun facts about salmon, |
| And a brand new dance. |
| Let me introduce to you a brand new dance, |
| I know you're gonna love it if you give it one chance. |
| It's not complicated, it's not too hard, |
| You don't even have to be a hip hop star. |
| See anyone can do it, all you need is style, |
| Listen up peep gang, I'ma show you how: |
| Put your hands to the side, as silly as it seems, |
| And shake your body like a salmon floatin' up stream! |
| I'll float up stream |
| You know how we do it, you know how we do it |
| Again. |
| All my peeps spend part of their life in fresh water |
| And part of their life in salt water |
| Wow, very interesting. |
| We change round a couple of days after spawning |
| Then we die |
| When I first did the Salmon, all the people just laughed. |
| They looked around and stood like I was on crack. |
| I heard somebody say out loud "what the fuck is that?" |
| "This nigga's dancin like a fish while he's doin' the snap" |
| But the more I kept doing it the more they were feelin' it, |
| And then I heard some bitches say "yo that niggas killin' it". |
| By the end of the night, everyone was on my team, |
| And the whole club was dancing like a salmon floatin' up stream! |
| I'll float up stream |
| You know how we do it, you know how we do it |
| Again. |
| Most of our friends find their home waters by sense of smell |
| Which is even more keen than that of a dog or a bear |
| Wow |
| My family also rely on ocean currents, tides |
| The gravitational pull of the moon |
| I'm floatin' upstream again |
| The moon? |
| Fish pay attention to the moon? |
| Wow. |
| Who knew? |
| Did you know? |
| What? |
| That I could go to Japan, and back. |
| You're kidding me. |
| Amazing. |
| Jeez. |
| Polluted water can kill both baby salmon, that are developing |
| And the adult salmon, that are on their way to spawn |
| Wow what a shame, what a shame |
| Huh? |
| Woah |
| Wow. |
| Hey s-kids, hey give it up for s-Sammy the Salmon and his amazing salmon dance |
| Huh? |
| Whadda ya say? |
| Alright |
| Who's hungry? |
