Kevin Bacon writes song about giant squid
Just in case you weren’t traumatised enough by the treatment of the giant squid by the Japanese scientists who recently snapped both photos and a giant tentacle, actor/musician Kevin Bacon has decided to rub salt in the wound:
ACTOR Kevin Bacon was so moved by the story of a giant squid he’s written a song about it.
The gigantic creature was recently snapped deep in the Pacific Ocean by Japanese scientists.
And the Mystic River star was moved to get musical after learning that the rare squid lost one of its tentacles breaking free from a hook.
Kevin said: “They’ve been looking for this poor guy. He lives 3,000 feet under the surface of the water and he’s been down there and nobody’s ever photographed him.
“These Japanese guys sent the camera down with a big hook on it and then they hooked him. And he fought for four hours and ripped his own arm off and swam away.
“I was like, ‘That’s terrible… I’ll write a song about it!’”
But warm-hearted Kevin now has one problem with his new track - he doesn’t know what to call it.
He added: “I want to know the actual scientific name of the (squid) because that’s going to be the title of the song.”
Anyone out there with suggestions for Kevin?
(It seems that Clem has some ideas over at Tonmo)
