Deep Cuts: Songs for the Seafood Lover in You

I know what you’re thinking:  Can he put together a playlist of seafood-themed songs and not include The B-52’s or Barnes and Barnes? Flounder, please: “Mexican Seafood,” Nirvana “Neon Meate Dream Of A Octafish,” Captain Beefheart “Superfast Jellyfish,” Gorillaz “Ol’ Diamondback Sturgeon (Fisherman’s Chronicles, Pt. 3),” Primus “Keep Fishin’,” Weezer “Weird Fishes/Arpeggi,” Radiohead “Fish Taco,”…

I know what you’re thinking:  Can he put together a playlist of seafood-themed songs and not include The B-52’s or Barnes and Barnes? Flounder, please:

“Mexican Seafood,” Nirvana

“Neon Meate Dream Of A Octafish,” Captain Beefheart

“Superfast Jellyfish,” Gorillaz

“Ol’ Diamondback Sturgeon (Fisherman’s Chronicles, Pt. 3),” Primus

“Keep Fishin’,” Weezer

“Weird Fishes/Arpeggi,” Radiohead

“Fish Taco,” Dick Dale

I’d also like to give a shout out to Prince’s “Starfish and Coffee,” though I’m not sure that’s actually edible.  Your turn:  Pass the tartar sauce along with your seafood playlist.

    Oh, The Waterboys. Any opportunity to throw them onto a playlist should not be missed.

    “Fisherman’s Blues” – the Waterboys, probably is stretching it off base, huh? Does the catching of the eventual meal count?

    You never fail to produce some surprises! I can’t match your deep cuts…but how about Catfish John by Alison Kraus. Also some Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Fishing in the Dark.
