Ain't it funky! Say! FZ: The origins of the Mud Shark are as follows Mud Sh-sh-shark FZ: There's a motel in Seattle, Washington, called the Edgewater Inn . . . The Edgewater Inn is built out on a pier . . . so that means that when you look out your window you don't see any dirt, it's . . . got a bay or something out in your backyard Mud Sh-sh-shark FZ: And to make it even more interesting, in the lobby of the aforementioned motel there's a bait and tackle shop where the residents can go down and, whenever they want to, rent a fishing pole and some preserved minnows and schlep back up to their rooms, open the window, stick their little pole outside and within a few minutes actually catch a fish of some sort that they can bring into their motel room and do whatever they want with it, you know what I mean? Mud Sh-sh-shark FZ: Now in this bay there's quite a variety of . . . fish! Mud Sh-sh-shark FZ: Not only do they have mud sharks up there, they got little octopusses that you can catch Fish! Mud Sh-sh-shark FZ: And all of these denizens of the deep can come in real handy Mud Sh-sh-shark FZ: Let's say you were a travelling Rock and Roll band called The Vanilla Fudge . . . let's say one night you checked into the Edgewater Inn with an 8mm movie camera Mud Sh-sh-shark FZ: Enough money to rent a pole, and just to make it more interesting Mud Sh-sh-shark FZ: A succulent young lady! Howard: Nooo! FZ: With a taste for the bizarre Mud Sh-sh-shark FZ: My mind drifts back . . . to a meeting, a chance meeting in the Chicago O'Hare Airport Mud Sh-sh-shark FZ: Where the members of The Vanilla Fudge told Don Preston about a home movie they made at the Edgewater Inn . . . with a mud shark!
