loteria silly theme jingle

Liner Notes:

This was written for card 30 in the loteria project, El Camaron - The Shrimp.

After this, I think we can say that we are officially not overthinking our songs this year And as far as we can tell, all the factual information presented here is true.

The guitar sound is an unplugged electric, recorded acoustically through a microphone, in case anyone is interested.

Lyrics:

And now, from the man who invented X-ray glasses...

Sea Monkeys
They're tiny and pink
Sea Monkeys
More fun than you'd think
Sea Monkeys
In the briny drink
Artemia Salina
Feed 'em spirulina

Sea Monkeys
They're instant pets
Sea Monkeys
It's as good as it gets
Sea Monkeys
You'll have no regrets
Microscopic fauna
They're native to Botswana

Sea Monkeys
Watch 'em come alive
Sea Monkeys
Love to swim and dive
Sea Monkeys
Just a buck twenty-five
Your favorite crustaceans in
Suspended animation

Sea monkey (sea monkey)
Sea monkey (sea monkey)
Sea monkey see monkey do

For sure there's TMBG influence. Wonderful job men. At this rate 14 songs are within reach eh.

Two thumbs up! Catchy, great harmonies (as always), perfectly goofy lyrics. Maybe They Might Be Giants will do a cover of this one someday.
