Twenty Songs For Shark Week

23/7/2017

Today Discovery Channel kicks off his annual shark week extravaganza. For this year's edition they even planned a stunt: Michael Phelps is going to race against a great white shark. 
Here at Merchants Of Air, this is another great excuse to dive into music history and compile a list of songs. So here are twenty songs about the shark way of life.
​Enjoy.

John Williams & The Boston Pops Orchestra - Jaws Theme

Every good list needs a good intro and what song could fulfil this purpose better than the original Jaws Theme?

Accept - Fast as a Shark

And we blast off with some fierce heavy metal because it's fast as a shark, or something like that. Here's Germany's Accept, playing the eighties classic live on Masters Of Rock.

Sharky Sharky - Bring The Rock

My favorite children's music band, Scotland's Sharky Sharky have been dressing in shark costumes and rocking their fins off for a while now.

Reggae Shark

Here are three clips about a stoned shark solving (and causing) trouble in the ocean. 

Split Enz - Shark Attack

Apparently, the eighties were a good time for shark related tunes. New wave band Split Enz came up with this uplifting tune in 1980

Guns Love Stories - Shark Bait

Swiss post-hardcore act Guns Love Stories certainly deserve a place here. Why? Because this is Merchants Of Air, where we promote the bands we review and like. It's as simple as that. Anyway, read our review here. 

Frank Zappa - Get Whitey

The Yellow Shark is an album of orchestral music by Frank Zappa, released in 1993. It was the last Zappa album released before his death one month later. 

Wailing Souls - Shark Attack

We secretly love dub and reggae here so this groovy tune by Wailing Souls had to make our little playlist, don't you think? After all, it's supposed to be summer here. 

Bitchslicer - Sex with Sharks

According to science, sharks love death metal (read) so I guess the animals will enjoy a bit of thrash metal too, especially if Bitchslicer promises them a happy ending...

Mastodon - Megalodon 

Of course the mother of all sharks deserves a spot on this list and who better than professional noisemakers Mastodon to showcase the might power of the megalodon.

The "Sleepwalk" Guitars Of Dan & Dale - The Shark Bite

"The what?", you might say. But yes, this song was released way back in 1965, even before most of our readers were born. Doo-wop at its finest...

LL Cool J - Deepest Bluest

Well, the movie is called 'Deep Blue Sea' so of course LL Cool J made a song called 'Deepest Bluest'. That's what rappers do, you know?

Electrotete - Shark

For an ambient tune about sharks we have to check out Juno Reactor's side project Electrotete and his 1994 single, (guess....) 'Shark'. 

Limp Bizkit - Shark Attack

Nu-metal icons Limp Bizkit apparently also write a song about sharks and - oh surprise - it sounds like almost every other Limp Bizkit song (which isn't that horrible actually). 

Furryz Fornicate - Shark Tits

In the category "what the holy shit?", and thus right after Limp Bizkit, comes doomcore act Furryz Fornicate and their delightful tune 'Shark Tits', guaranteed to brighten you after a day of burning in hell.

Aceloria - Shark (ft Knownaim)

I have no idea what genre this, nor do I know this artist is but I like it and that's all that matters.

Eija Merilä ‎– Tiikerihai 

What? We like to keep things varied around here. Maybe a bit too varied sometimes.

Das Merman ‎– Sharks 

It took us a while to find an EBM tune about sharks but we did it. It's even called 'Sharks' and it bloody stomps. Well done  ​Das Merman

Greenfly - Shark Attack

In the drum & bass scene we found quite a few shark related tunes but this one by Greenfly was by far the best.

Blue Oyster Cult - Shooting Shark

And of course we end with a classic. Blue Oyster Cult have been with us for decades and released this song in 1983.
