Okay, this one is mostly a joke. It's not all  a joke, but mostly a joke. And isn't humor art? This video is primarily dedicated to the legendary Smooth Sharks comic and ensuing Twitter replies. It's one of my favorite stupid internet jokes ever, and I don't usually go for the "repeating a falsehood while making fun of people who try to fight with you" jokes much.

Aside from that, there's a personal touch in that Enya was the artist played for my nap times as a very young child, according to my parents. I find this song very soothing, actually. To pay tribute to that, along with real shark videos and the iconic Jaws, I included some shark media from my childhood, like Finding Nemo and the often-forgotten Discovery Kids show, Kenny the Shark. The big one featured here, though, is Shark Tale, as it's a part of my childhood of course but also a Dreamworks film, and just so happens to exist on a combo GBA cartridge with the movie Shrek. I was ecstatic at this find, as it perfectly tied in to the All Star ending of the song and album.

As one of the only people in the world who enjoyed Shark Tale, thank you.
