‘Under the Sea’ is a song from the 1989 Disney film The Little Mermaid. It’s sung by a crab called Sebastian with the motive of convincing her mermaid friend Ariel, not to leave the Ocean. I couldn’t help but wonder what it would sound like if Sebastian sang it to Ariel today. Well, here goes. Sing along in a gloomy minor key because it’s pretty dark and sad though it’s comically appeasing…
Ariel, listen to me
The human world, it’s a mess
But life under the sea isn’t any better since our home is their garbage dump
The seaweeds were so much greener
In my great grandma’s place
I dream about living back then
Its clean waters I hallucinate
I look around the World around me
Right here where I used to call home
Such alarming things around me
Oh so many traps and gore
Under the sea, under the sea
Darling its hotter I need a doctor
How do we flea?
Up on the sea they cruise all day
Calling the dying fish fresh buffet
While we are scuffling
Struggling to be breathing
Under the sea
Down here all the fish are missing
All dead o’er the waves they float
The food we all eat taste crappy
Because it’s all plastic rolls
The human who eats me is happy
But they in for a worser fate
One day all their tummy's aching
Because it’s their wastes they ate
