Is anyone else bothered by the addition of the word “just”, which throws off the whole rhythm and doesn’t need to be there in any way?
It works if you pronounce the last word as three syllables. I don’t know if that’s the correct way to pronounce it, but it is the American way to pronounce it.
“I’m a bitch”
3 syllables
“I’m an orca”
4 syllables
“Sinking yachts”
3 syllables
“Off Majorca”
4 syllables
Adding “Just” makes it 5, which is too many for the pattern
Also, “Imma hit you with my tail” is one syllable too many. “I’ll” would work better.
5 works just fine.
It’s awkward, especially since the “just” is completely unnecessary.
Naw, the line should only be 4 syllables. “I’m a mother” is the og.
I’d imagine whoever wrote this doesn’t know how to pronounce Majorca
I know how that’s my favorite Zelda game
I smoked majorka’s ass once.
GUD SHIT
Orcas have been such bros to humanity (no wild orcas have ever been recorded intentionally attacking humans) that if they’re hitting boats I’m starting with the assumption that it’s the humans fucking up. There’s a lot more history of humans being cruel/stupid to wildlife than there is of orcas doing the same to us.
Orcas have rarely injured and in one case killed their trainers when held captive, but that’s essentially them fighting being held hostage. “No one is sure what causes the animals to react in this way, but boredom, frustration and ill health, both physical and mental, have all been implicated,” says Rob. “These incidents have resulted in serious injuries to trainers and, in one case at least, proved to be fatal.”
Made me giggle at work. Quality.

Fun fact: orcas are not whales. The name “killer whale” is a reversal of their previous name, “whale killers”. They’re just mean dolphins.
They normally aren’t mean. Orcas used to hunt whales with us. We would give them all the stuff we didn’t want, and they’d herd whale pods to the ships.
They’re mean to seals.
Well they eat everything that they can get a hold of, as a species, except us. Individual pods have varied diets
I really meant badass, but they can definitely be mean. All intelligent animals have a mean side.
Dolphins are mean dolphins.
Dolphins are whales source
I’ve never seen a convincing source for this factoid. As best I can tell, “killer whale” was never “whale killer” in recorded written text.
*Orcas are nice dolphins
I’m a goddess, I’m a queen
My teeth are not baleen
I’m with the orcas.
Sink them all.
Aren’t they going after sailboats? These aren’t like mega-yachts owned by Bezos. It’s like someone’s entire life savings, retirement plan
You know I wouldn’t want it any other waaaaaay!
I want to believe that orcas absolutely would belt out singer/songwriter hits from the 1990s if they could.
Man I’m just glad this isnt happening in Cali. I really like sailing.
Am I the only one trying to shoehorn these lyrics into Steve miller’s joker?
So you make enough money to purchase a luxury boat? Well do I have THE vacation destination for you!
These have mostly been small sailing vessels, and in some cases the family home. We’re not talking about the 1% here.
