    dancing 
    lesson! 

    Mud 
    sh- 
    sh- 
    shark 

    We're 
    gonna do a 
    little 
    dancing, 

    A little 
    dancing 
    thing 
    called the mud 

    shark 

    Now, this dance 
    started 
    up 
    in seattle 

    Lemme 
    tell 
    you 
    'bout the mud 
    shark... 
    Verse 4


    The origins 
    of the 
    mud shark 
    are as 
    follows: there's 
    a motel 
    in 
    seattle, 

    washington 
    called the 
    edgewater inn. 
    the 
    edgewater inn's 
    built 
    on a pier.. 
    so 
    that means 
    that 
    when 
    you look 
    out your 
    wind 

    You 
    don't see 
    any 
    dirt 
    - - it's 
    got a 
    bay 
    or something 
    out 
    in your backyard,,, 
    and to make 
    it even 
    more 
    interesting, 

    in the lobby 
    of the 
    aforementioned 
    motel 
    there's a bait 
    and 
    tackle 
    shop 
    where th 

    Idents can go 
    down 
    whenever 
    they 
    want 
    to, and 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 

    Es 
    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? 
    now in 
    this bay 
    there's 
    quite 
    a variety 
    of 
    ah... 
    fish! 

    Nly do 
    they have 
    mud 
    sharks 
    up there, 
    they got 
    little 
    octopusses that you 
    can catch. 
    and 
    all 
    these 
    denizens 

    of the deep 
    can 
    come 
    in real 
    handy... 
    let's 
    say 
    you were 
    a travelling 
    rock 
    and 
    roll ba 

    Lled the vanilla 
    fudge. 
    let's 

    Say one 
    night 
    you 
    checked 
    into 
    the 
    edgewater inn motel 
    with a 
    8mm movie 
    camer
    a, 
    enough 
    money 
    to rent 
    a pole, 

    and 
    just 
    to make 
    it 
    more 
    interesting 
    - - a 
    succulent 
    young 
    lady 
    (mnaaaah!) with a tas 

    Are 
    the bizarre... 
    my 
    mind 
    drifts 
    back 
    to 
    a meeting, 

    a 
    chance 
    meeting 
    in the chicago 
    o'hare 
    airport 
    where 
    the members 
    of 
    the vanilla 
    fudge 
    told 
    don 
    preston 
    about 
    a home 
    movie 
    they 
    made 
    at the edge 

    Inn 
    with 
    a mud 
    shark. 
    I'm 
    gonna tell 
    you, 
    this dance, 

    the mud 
    shark, 
    is sweeping 
    the ocean!... 

    Verse 5

    Out 

    You 
    go 
    out 

    So 
    far 
    out 

    Outro 1
    You 
    do 
    the mud 
    shark. 
    baby 
    ... etc

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
