* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: "Whatever Floats Your Float" is about the animals putting on an "animal pride parade," but when Odee arrives nobody can figure out which species they are. They try to fit them as either a giraffe or a zebra, but they reveal they're an okapi, and explains, "It doesn’t matter what we are as long as we’re proud of who we are." It's clearly a metaphor for trying to fit nonbinary people into a gender binary, compounded by the fact Odee does actually use they/them pronouns.
