I went to a karaoke bar for my birthday. Who knew, before yesterday, that I would learn there is a little yellow fish in the deep blue sea that needs help? Aparently, Danish dance music experts have been busy at work since my last stay coming up with the most mindless lyrics possible. The saga of Barbie and Ken brought Danish culture forward to compete with the US, where such hits as “Move, bitch, get out the way” and “It’s getting hot in here” really set the high water mark musically. However, “Litte Yellow Fish” with its interrogation, “Do you wanna take a whalebus – wanna meet a stupid shark? Do you wanna ride a seahorse or hide in an oyster park?” put Denmark way ahead. Although this song started as a children’s video, using it in a dance song is cultural genius.
