The Squid
J Rice Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wolf goes woof, cat goes meow.
Horses neigh, and bat goes squeak.
Cow goes moo. Pig goes oink, and the villager goes hmmm
Pigman grunts. ghasts go myahh, and the sheep goes ba ah ah

But there′s one sound that no one knows...

WHAT DOES THE SQUID SAY!?

Ring-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding!
Gering-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding!
Gering-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding!

WHAT THE SQUID SAY!

Wa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pow!
Wa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pow!
Wa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pow!

WHAT THE squid SAY!

Hatee-hatee-hatee-ho!
Hatee-hatee-hatee-ho!
Hatee-hatee-hatee-ho!

WHAT THE squid SAY!

Blub-blub-blub-blub-blub-blub!
Blub-blub-blub-blub-blub-blub!
Blub-blub-blub-blub-blub-blub

WHAT THE squid SAY!
Pointy teeth, derpy path, little health, and swimming fast.
Giant eyes, undersea, and suddenly you're in a tree .
Your skin is blue, so beautiful, like a diamond in disguise.

But if you meet a friendly horse, will you communicate by mo-o-o-o-orse?
...mo-o-o-o-orse? ...mo-o-o-o-orse?
How will you speak to that h-o-o-orse?
...h-o-o-orse? ...h-o-o-orse?

WHAT DOES THE squid SAY!?
Jacha-chacha-chacha-chow!
Jacha-chacha-chacha-chow!
Jacha-chacha-chacha-chow!
WHAT THE squid SAY!

Fraka-kaka-kaka-kaka-kow!
Fraka-kaka-kaka-kaka-kow!
Fraka-kaka-kaka-kaka-kow!
WHAT THE squid SAY!
A-hee-ahee ha-hee!
A-hee-ahee ha-hee!
A-hee-ahee ha-hee!
WHAT THE squid SAY!
A-oo-oo-oo-ooo!
A-oo-oo-oo-ooo!

What does the squid say?

The secret of the squid, ancient mystery.
Somewhere deep in the sea, I know you′re swimming.
What is your sound? Will we ever know? Will always be a mystery; what do you say?
You're my guardian angel, hiding under the sea.




What is your sound? Will we ever know?
I want to, I want to, I want to know!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to J Rice’s song “The Squid” are written as a parody of the popular children’s song “What Does the Fox Say?” The lyrics explore the various sounds made by animals in the Minecraft video game, with the repeated refrain of “What does the squid say?” The lyrics describe the physical characteristics of the squid, such as their pointy teeth, derpy path, little health, and swimming fast. The song also touches on the beauty of the squid’s blue skin, which is compared to a diamond in disguise. Despite being presented in a humorous way, the song also delves into deeper questions, such as whether or not we will ever truly know the sounds made by the creatures living in the sea.


The song’s chorus is made up of a series of nonsensical sounds, such as “ring-ding-ding-ding-dingeringeding” and “jacha-chacha-chacha-chow,” creating a fun and catchy melody. The song’s popularity can be attributed to its lighthearted and silly nature, as well as the fact that it taps into the vast and devoted Minecraft fan base.

This dude is amazing!
He is literally shape shifting and scaling the body to make a run animation!
Keep up the good work :)

@Hax 0p he did make the animation, just because he references the poses on the characters doesn't mean he didn't make it.
