The Great White Shark Song
National Geographic | MySpace Video
National Geographic producer and underwater cinematographer Andy Brandy Casagrande IV puts himself in the role of a great white shark in this folky, tongue-in-cheek music video that has been screening at film festivals around the country.
Casagrande’s lyrics begin optimistically with lines like “if I was a great white I wouldn’t bite you…but I’d swim right next to you.” But when his shark personality starts pushing a message of conservation things take a turn for the macabre:
“cause it’s my ocean too…so please keep it clean…cause i can be f*cking mean…
and i got sharp teeth…and if i realize that you don’t care about the sea…
well that means you don’t care about me…oh well…that’s fine…
i’ll just bite you in f*cking half this time…yeah if i was a great white…yeah…
if i was a great white shark…
Editor’s Note: The video posted above features the edited version of the song. You can watch the version with the explicit lyrics on YouTube here.

Andy Brandy is a shark idiot who thinks he’s a conservationist. He is not.
He is a half assed stuntman seeking a few seconds of fame like Erich Ritter from a decade ago. As you can see from this video he is very uncomfortable in the water with these animals, and keeps whipping around every time they come near.
As long as there are sharks there will always be guys like Andy who wrap conservation with extreme encounters and call themselves heroes.
Shame on anyone who feels this video is in the best interests of sharks. All this video serves are Andy’s ambitions to get his next job and to highlight completely unrealistic shark encounters to a wider audience.
Yep!
