[Spoken Intro] Awoooo! Alright, skates and rays, you're locked into the coolest frequency in the deep blue sea! I'm your host, spinning the platters that matter, and tonight we’re celebrating a crew that’s been rockin’ the ocean floor for hundreds of millennia! Forget what you saw in the movies, these ain't mindless machines, they are an evolutionary masterpiece! Put your fins together for the undisputed apex predators... kar-KAR-uh-don kar-KAIR-ee-us! Let's go! [Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] Well, they’ve been swimming this globe since the ancient days, Highly successful bauplan riding the waves! Got a calcified cartilage skeleton, so don't need no bone, Cruisin’ temperate reefs or the open ocean zone! Knights play chess on fine grain sand, Is how we organize the coolest fish in the band! (Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order!) [Chorus] Oh, they're K-selected, taking it slow, Living up to seventy, don't ya know! (Slow and steady!) Got the loops of Lorenzini feeling your heartbeat, Swimming out to White Shark Cafe for a treat! Yeah, they're the kings of the coast, ruling the scene, Sharpest-smelling apex you've ever seen! [Verse 2] Now when they be pups they’re hanging in the nursery zone, Eating flatfish and rays in warm water’s foam! But when they get older, they do an ontogenetic shift, Hunting big pinnepeds where the rookeries drift! They got a lateral line ta feel the pressure around, Rolling eyeballs back in their head ‘fore they bite down! [Chorus] 'Cause they're K-selected, taking it slow, Living up to seventy years, don't ya know! (Slow and steady!) Got the loops of Lorenzini feeling your heartbeat, Swimming out to the White Shark Cafe for a treat! Yeah, they're the kings of the coast, ruling the scene, The sharpest-smelling apex that you've ever seen! [Instrumental Break] [Saxophone Solo] [Spoken Bridge] That's right, babies! They’re an open population riding those currents far and wide! Let's take it all the way to the beach! Come on! [Outro Chorus] Oh, they're K-selected, taking it slow, Living up to seventy, don't ya know! Got the loops of Lorenzini feeling your heartbeat, Swimming out to White Shark Cafe for a treat! Yeah, they're the kings of our coast, ruling this scene, Sharpest-smelling apex you've ever seen! (kar-KAR-uh-don kar-KAIR-ee-us!) [Outro] See you at the surf line, baby! Yeah! [Big Piano Chord] [End]
