FZ: That's right, you heard right, the Secret Word for tonight is Mud Shark! And of course with the Mud Shark Secret Word is the Mud Shark Arpeggio... a marvellous little arpeggio, and now the mating call of the adult male Mud Shark...

|
Mark: Wait a minute... we're gonna do a little dancing... a little dancing thing called the Mud Shark... Now, this dance started up in Seattle
|
Howard: Yes...
|
Mark: The story...
|
FZ: Lemme tell you the story 'bout the Mud Shark...
|
|
Mud Sh-sh-shark
|
|
FZ: Bring the band on down behind me, boys...
|
Howard: Say! Good God! Ain't it funky! Say!
|
FZ: The origins of the Mud Shark are as follows...
|
|
Mud Sh-sh-shark
|
|
FZ: There's a motel in Seattle, Washington, called the Edgewater Inn... The Edgewater Inn is built out on a pier... so that means that when you look out your window you don't see any dirt, it's... got a bay or something out in your backyard...
|
|

|
|
FZ: And to make it even more interesting, in the lobby of the aforementioned motel there's a bait and tackle shop where the residents can go down and, whenever they want to, rent a fishing pole and some preserved minnows and schlep back up to their rooms, open the window, stick their little pole outside and within a few minutes actually catch a fish of some sort that they can bring into their motel room and do whatever they want with it, you know what I mean?
|
|

|
|
FZ: Now in this bay there's quite a variety of... fish!
|
|

|
|
FZ: Not only do they have mud sharks up there, they got little octopusses that you can catch
|
|
Fish!
|
Mud Sh-sh-shark
|
|
FZ: And all of these denizens of the deep can come in real handy...
|
|

|
|
FZ: Let's say you were a travelling Rock and Roll band called The Vanilla Fudge... let's say one night you checked into the Edgewater Inn with an 8mm movie camera...
|
|
Mud Sh-sh-shark
|
|
FZ: Enough money to rent a pole, and just to make it more interesting...
|
|
Mud Sh-sh-shark
|
|
FZ: A succulent young lady!
|
Howard: Nooo!
|
FZ: With a taste for the bizarre...
|
|
Mud Sh-sh-shark
|
|
FZ: My mind drifts back... to a meeting, a chance meeting in the Chicago O'Hare Airport...
|
|
Mud Sh-sh-shark
|
|
FZ: Where the members of The Vanilla Fudge told Don Preston about a home movie they made at the Edgewater Inn... with a mud shark!
|
|
Mud Sh-sh-shark
|
|
FZ: And I'm gonna tell you, this dance, the Mud Shark, is sweeping the ocean!
|
