  • "Daniel Dolphin" has a surprisingly bittersweet ending for a song from their children's album: It starts out as typical lighthearted fare, with a group of children befriending a seemingly magical dolphin named Daniel. However, things take a dark turn when the dolphin takes their grandfather to some sort of underwater fountain of youth and returns him as a newborn baby - the parents take in the child, but assume that the grandfather is dead and it's Daniel's fault, so they have the dolphin killed. Never Say "Die" is averted here, since the song includes the lyric "they killed him angrily".
