A Fun Parody of “My Favorite Things” with an Aquarium Theme
When the Monterey Bay Aquarium closed in March 2020, as a Volunteer Monterey Bay Aquarium Guide, I was so disappointed. My Thursday afternoon volunteer gig was the highlight of my week!
I can’t wait until we open soon!
The Aquarium staff thought they would have a little fun and created this delightful parody sung to the tune of “My Favorite Things” from the Sound of Music – only it’s “My Favorite Aquarium Things”!
Just click and give a listen, you’ll love it!
Song lyrics
Squids that are giant
— or common or bigfin
Hand-feeding sharks with a neoprene mitten
Avocets, penguins and albatross wings
These are our favorite Aquarium things
Sardines and anchovies — oodles and oodles
Octopus poop that
looks like one long noodle
Bat rays that swim with a flap of their wings
These are our favorite Aquarium things
Dolphinfish darting with colorful flashes
Sea otters diving and making big splashes
Delicate drifters and creatures that sting
These are our favorite Aquarium things
When the Zoom fails
When you’re muted
When the WiFi’s bad
We simply remember Aquarium things
And then we don’t feel so sad
A Mola mola that looks like a frisbee
Kelp Forests swaying and making you dizzy
Sea stars with tube feet that help them to cling
These are our favorite Aquarium things!
