  • An Adult Swim bump, written in response to an email asking if the song 'Mermaider' was about mermaids that murdered or mermaids that were murdered, explained that 'Mermaider' "happens to be about homicidal mermaids that have murdered thousands of yellowtail tuna, and later tragically get murdered by a group of bi-polar octopi."
