Funny parody by our friend Courtney (Justin Solonynka’s wife) of the Beatles’ song “Help!” With a little intro borrowed from “Octopus’ Garden” – since that’s where kelp grows!
Kelp!

Lyrics:
Kelp! I need some seaweed
Kelp! Not just any seaweed
Kelp! You know it’s what I need, Kelp!
(When - when I am hungry)
When I am hungry, oh so hungry like today
(I love to eat - kelp in every way!)
I love to eat some Kelp, I love kelp in every way!
(Now - my kelp is gone)
But now my kelp is gone and I’m walking out the door
(and now I find - to forage at the shore)
Now I find, that it’s the time to forage at the shore
(Chorus:)
Kelp grows in the sea not on the ground
In underwater forests, it abounds
Help me get that kelp from where it’s found
Won’t you please, please Kelp me!
(Can - be utilized)
Kelp can be utilized in oh so many ways
(As food or fuel - stays and stays and stays)
As food or fuel, that green algae stays and stays and stays
(And - now and then - )
And every now and then I sing like John and Paul
(I know that kelp - and also ethanol)
Kelp can be used for food and also ethanol
(Chorus)
When I am hungry, oh so hungry like today
I love to eat some Kelp, I love kelp in every way!
(Now - my kelp is gone)
But now my kelp is gone and I’m walking out the door
(and now I find - to forage at the shore)
Now I find, that it’s the time to forage at the shore
(Chorus)
Kelp me, Kelp me - ooh!
