A Sand Dollar's Breakfast is Totally Metal | Deep Look

Wet Dream Video By Kip Adotta

Zawash says...

It was April the forty-first
Being a quadruple leap year
I was driving in downtown Atlantis
My barracuda was in the shop
So I was in a rented stingray
And it was overheating

So I pulled into a Shell Station
They said I'd blown a seal
I said, "Fix the damn thing
And leave my private life out of it
Okay pal?"

While they were doing that
I walked over to a place called the Oyster Bar, a real dive
But I knew the owner
He used to play for the Dolphins
I said "Hi Gil"
You have to yell, he's hard of herring

Think I had a wet dream
Cruisin' thru the Gulf Stream
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
Wet dream

Gil was also down on his luck
Fact is he was barely keeping his head below water
I bellied up to the sandbar
He poured me the usual

Rusty snail, hold the grunion
Shaken not stirred
With a peanut butter and jellyfish sandwich on the side
Heavy on the mako

I slipped him a fin
On porpoise
I was feeling good
I even dropped a sand dollar in the box for Jerry's squids
For the halibut

Well the place was crowded
We were packed in like sardines They were all there to listen to the big band sounds of Tommy Dorsal
What sole

Tommy was rockin' the place with a very popular tuna
Salmon Chanted Evening
And the stage was surrounded by screaming groupers
Probably there to see the bass player

One of them was this cute little yellowtail
And she's giving me the eye
So I figured this is my chance for a little fun
You know, piece of Pisces

But she said things I just couldn't fathom
She was too deep, seemed to be under a lot of pressure
Boy, could she drink
She drank like a . . .
She drank a lot

I said "What's your sign"
She said "Aquarium"
I said "Great, let's get tanked"

Think I had a wet dream
Cruisin' thru the Gulf Stream
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
Wet dream

I invited her to my place for a midnight bait
I said "Come on baby, it'll only take a few minnows"
She threw me that same old line
"Not tonight, I gotta haddock"

And she wasn't kidding either
Cause in came the biggest, meanest looking haddock
I'd ever seen come down the pike
He was covered with mussels

He came over to me and said
"Listen, shrimp, don't you come trollin' around here"
What a crab
This guy was steamed
I could see the anchor in his eyes

I turned to him, I said
"A-balone, you're just being shellfish"
Well, I knew it was going to be trouble and so did Gil
'Cause he was already on the phone to the cods

The haddock hits me with a sucker punch
I catch him with a left hook
He eels over
It was a fluke but there he was
Lying on the deck, flat as a mackerel
Kelpless

I said "Forget the cods Gil
This guy's gonna need a sturgeon"
Well, the yellowtail was impressed with the way I landed her boyfriend
She came over to me, she said
"Hey, big boy, you're really a game fish
What's your name"
I said "Marlin"

Think I had a wet dream
Cruisin' thru the Gulf Stream
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
Wet dream

Well, from then on we had a whale of a time
I took her to dinner, I took her to dance
I bought her a bouquet of flounders
And then I went home with her
And what did I get for my trouble
A case of the clams

Think I had a wet dream
Cruisin' thru the Gulf Stream
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh

Wet dream
Cruisin' thru the Gulf Stream
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh

Wet dream
Cruisin' thru the Gulf Stream
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh

Not quite so relevant to this video, but the Coelacanth is almost exactly like the earliest tetrapods (and also rather cute). Some of the related fish have legs, or very leg-like fins, and walk on the bottom of the sea floor. The lungs of the lung fish are useful for both buoyancy and breathing... and the fish which can do these things perhaps has an advantage over the larger fiercer fish which can't.
>> ^L0cky:

Heh, I could have kept my mouth shut
Seriously though, that's amazing. They also have a modified swim bladder, just like the early tetrapods.
Like a lot of things in evolution, for all the people that doubt x could evolve from y, there's usually not one example of a solution but many.
>> ^oritteropo:
But some fish do sprout legs, and thrust themselves out of the water. They're even rather cute, see http://blog.nus.edu.sg/lsm1303student2011/2011/03/24/africanlungfish/

>> ^L0cky:
People talk about fish jumping out of the sea and sprouting legs as part of evolution. I think it'd make more sense to be something like this.

Where the F have you heard of people believing fish sprouted legs and thrust themselves out of the water ? Pro Tip: do not hang around those people.

that is creationist's understand of evolution.

Haha, I didn't mean it quite so literaly. But generally when I hear/read people giving generalised examples of evolutionary history, it often involves the fish leaving the sea at some point.

Thinking about it though, it depends if fish existed before mammals or not, as they definitely have a common ancestor.

/me goes check

Yeh, so the current understanding is that we have a common ancestor with fish, being a chordate, which can be both vertebrate and invertebrate. But that's a rather subjective take on when evolution left the sea.

It's not easy to find a phylogenic tree with a marker saying which species left water first.

/more checking

So what I meant by "fish jumping out of the sea and sprouting legs" were the tetrapods, which evolved from chordates leading to out of water compatible lungs; then fins to limbs etc.

However, they weren't the first creatures out of the sea. There were arthropods for starters (invertebrates, which also became insects).

My point was really that I can see this type of creature (an echinoid) evolving to be amphibious before either the arthropods or tetrapods; mostly because they would have a simpler path of evolution to be able to do so.
