Shamu was born this day in 1985 in Orlando, Florida. She was the first killer whale to be born in captivity and survive. Her place of birth was Sea World.

A good day to do fish songs: Three Little Fishes, Fisherman’s Luck, Mack the Knife (sharks, anyone?). I can’t think of any songs about killer whales, or even whales.
