Shark Shirt from Shark Shirt by Taylor Nodell

Shark Shirt is about finding the little things that are significant in everyday life. While working at the Aquarium of the Bay, I frequently found myself fascinated and inspired, either by the marine life, the patrons, by my coworkers, or by something I learned that day. It seems much more important now, to recognize these moments of significance occurred in my regular routine of work. Not that working at the aquarium was perfect, but here are some examples of meaningful "little things" that occurred during my tenure at the aquarium:

Learning the Otters by name and learning to tell them apart.

Picking up a sea star to let little kids touch them and their explosion of joy and disgust and fascination.

Watching the female bat ray's "ready to mate" behaviour

Talking to an Australian girl who was starting a semester abroad to study Veterinary care at UC Davis.

Taking guests behind the scenes to have them hold shark eggs and see the real size of our giant sea bass (curved glass makes them look smaller) and me definitely not touching the moon jellies to see that their stings are minor if at all.

Lyrics

Hangin in my Shark shirt
Serving simple surprise,
To someone’s several simian like miniaturized

And I don’t know,
How I got here today,
Some feat of engineering took me under the bay.

Hangin in my shark shirt

Hangin in my sharkshirt,
With a cheese sandwich for lunch
Bundled busting bananas right off of the bunch,

And I’m arty
I’ll be out at a party,
Singing Judas Priest, for now I’m munching Havarti

Hangin in my shark shirt
Hangin in my shark shirt
Hangin in my shark shirt

Hangin in my shark shirt,
What do you call a group of sea stars?
Crawlin round in tidepools,
Gettin’ wasted out of bars

With crustaceans,
Avoiding predation,
You could call a group a of them a wet constellation

Hangin in my shark shirt

Hangin in my shark shirt,
Touching the coast
Passing past the pond, posing, projecting a ghost

I’m never late
But, haven’t been in forever,
I might not be good looking, but I’m sharper than cheddar

Hangin in my shark shirt
Hangin in my shark shirt
Hangin in my shark shirt

Nothing else bites
When Im in that shark shirt
Nothing else bites
When I’m in that shirt
