The Eel Thing (song)

"The Eel Thing" is a song off the Every Ape and His Brother album The Chicken of the Opera. It is about the titular sea monster destroying various modern sea vessels, while one crazed survivor's warnings go completely unheeded. The song is a parody of "The Real Thing" by Bo Bice.

History
This song was first proposed some time after the original was heard on-radio in 2005. When the Dozerfleet founder's sisters became fascinated with the original song and purchased Bo Bice's album, urges to make this parody grew stronger. The evening of Wednesday, September 23rd of 2009, that desire came to a head, and this parody was written.

"The Eel Thing" was finally submitted some time in the afternoon of Thursday the 24th to AmIRight's website. It was approved the following Friday.

Reception
So far, the song has received all 5's from two votes at AmIRight, making it one of Every Ape's most popular entries.
