The Salmon Dance - The Chemical Brothers, Tom Rowlands, Ed Simons

Hello boys and girls, my name is Fatlip

And this is my friend, Sammy the Salmon ****(What it do?) ***

Today we’re gonna teach you some fun facts about salmon,

and a brand new dance.

Let me introduce to you a brand new dance

I know you’re gonna love it if you give it one chance

It’s not complicated, It’s not too hard

You don’t even have to be a Hip-hop star

See, anyone can do it, all you need is style

Listen up please gang, I’m a show you how

Put ya hands to the side as silly as it seems

And shake your body lika Salmon floating upstream

I’m floating Upstream

You know how we do it, you how we do it,

again

(Sammy the Salmon)

All my peeps spend part of their life in fresh water and part of their lives in

salt water.

(Fatlip)

Wow, very interesting

They change a couple of days after spawning, then we die

When I first did the salmon, all the people just laughed

They looked around and stood like I was on crack

I heard somebody say outloud what the fuck is that

This nigga’s dancing like a fish while he’s doing the snap

But the more I kept doing it, the more they be feeling it

And then I heard some bitches say yo that nigga’s killing

By the end of the night, everyone was on my team and the whole club was dancing

lika salmon floating upstream

I’m floating Upstream

You know how we do it, you how we do it,

again

(Sammy the Salmon

Most of our friends find their home waters by sense of smell which is even more

keen than that of a dog or a bear

(Fatlip)

Wow

(Sammy the Salmon)

My family also rely on ocean currents, tides (uh) the gravitational pull of the

moon

(Fatlib)

The moon?

Fish pay attention to the moon?

Wow (I'm floating upstream again) Who

knew?

(Sammy the Salmon)

Did you know…

(Fatlip)

What?

(Sammy the Salmon)

That I can go to Japan and back

(Fatlip)

You’re kidding.

Amazing.

Gezz.

(Sammy the Salmon)

Polluted water can kill both baby salmon that are developing and the adult

salmon that are on their way to spawn."

(Fatlip)

Wow, what a shame.

What a shame.

Huh.

Wow

Hey, kids, give it up for Sammy the Salmon

and his amazing salmon dance.

Huh, what ya say?

Alright.

Who’s hungry?
