This is your final party jam for the night before the Day of the Dead. Never forget that the world is mostly water. We are but tiny creatures clinging to driftwood on the waves over their domain; and they only become dimly aware of us when they are h...
Kick off your deep dive with the very real Loch Ness Monster. Many miles is still too close.
Many Miles Away (Synchronicity II) by The Police
I hope you're seeing the Frogger video in your mind. And not thinking of what this really means.
I Come From The Water by Toadies
A rocked out tale as old as time. Beauty and the soggy beast. Edmunds' bandmate Billy Bremner from Rockpile wrote this on a bender. Still rocks.
The Creature from the Black Lagoon by Dave Edmunds
Little Li Lykke Timotej Zachrisson from Ystad, Sweden, has become a bit of a monster herself, in all the best ways.
I Follow Rivers by Lykke Li
We've only scratched the surface of this Sea Monster iceberg. Break out your oxygen tanks there's no telling how low this thing goes.
Ground On Down by Ben Harper
Told from the point of view of Godzilla, perhaps.
Get The Party Started (I'm Coming Up) by Pink
Ann and Nancy Wilson were the original man eaters.
Barracuda by Heart
No shark songs. This would be the place for it but no. Sharks are too maligned and cows kill more people than sharks. You might say that's because cows don't swim but I'd say keep your dad jokes to yourself. Anyway, tiny jaws are the real killers.
Piranha by Tripping Daisy
Little fish, big fish. Whatever. This song is all creepy.
Down by the Water by PJ Harvey
You're not doing a Sea Monster list without Cthulhu. It's just not going to happen. This is the only song about the fellow I can tolerate, and then only barely. Plus Oysters are a bonus.
The Old Gods Return by Blue Öyster Cult
The party turns to conversations of Frida Kahlo and Virginia Woolf and feeling overwhelmed. Never doubt that your heading is true.
What the Water Gave Me by Florence + the Machine
Every party needs a long, slow background song to bring on the flood of philosophical debates and bad relationship choices. This is the part that everyone will remember.
From the Edge of the Deep Green Sea by The Cure
Time to get up and move. Besides everyone was taking themselves too seriously.
Lake Monsters by They Might Be Giants
C'mon now. You wouldn't have made it through the pandemic without it.
Wellerman (Sea Shanty) by Nathan Evans
If you are watching “Below” you know.
Fisherman's Blues by The Waterboys
Lovers, muggers, and thieves. What finer way to end the evening? Feel free to play “Orinoco Flow” by Enya when you want to clear the place out and go to sleep.
