i don't remember the first time i heard this track but it's one of the nuttiest ones coming from scruff. he generally has a sense of humour in his music but this sits on the fence of idiocy and brilliance.
the plan was probably make a track consisting of all the vocal samples he could find about fish and work it all together. it's a song that sort of tells it's story in somewhat disjointed form but you don't care about that since it has a chorus that is nothing short of genius.
it rivals lemon jelly's "nice weather for ducks" in how a random sentence or a set of words can become that catchy and will order a room in your head for weeks. "nice weather for ducks" has the sentence "all the ducks are swimming in the water" and "fish" has a rhythmic annotation of the word "fish". the pattern is sort of bo diddley but it also adds a vocal fill saying "eating fish".
scruff's collaging on this is great and it all stays in place with a track that consists of a chopped up drum break & a filtered bassline. the track also goes into a tempo change once the first chorus kicks in. remarkable is that with that change the song goes sort of into a danceable rhythm but i don't know if anyone would actually bust this out in that sort of environment.
