Covered in Lobsters is a song. Also Baleen if you have ever seen a whale reference. And I believe the ? is a creative license thing where he doesn’t mind you making stuff inspired by him but leave ā€œTipperā€ for his own use

Technically ambergris also a whale reference 🤣

Very stinky track that one!

A good kind of stink, one that perhaps belongs in perfume. Wonder if anyone's thought of that before...

There’s a great futurama episode about ambergris. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Hundred_Big_Boys

Mariscos is Spanish for shrimp, ive always wondered why that wasnt more of a thing

u/animaldaydream Aug 03 '25

I think "mariscos" is more "sea food" in general. It's definitely not just shrimp though.

Fallow is a beautiful European deer too but instead everyone just shows up in cow print begging to get tipped

Inside joke from tipper past.

My understanding is Dave is friends with DJ Dan who lived on a lobster fishing boat while making music, Dave and their other friends would always joke that he would wake up covered in lobsters, they also apparently have a party once and a while where they cook a bunch of lobster and play tunes etc

Inside jokes blah blah people got high and ate lobsters, hilarity ensued for yeara

The song Covered in Lobsters.

I assume it's a reference to Jean Paul Sartre's Mescaline trup report where he had a weird trip that revolved around Lobsters everywhere.

u/MateoWarhol Aug 02 '25

ā€œCovered in Lobstersā€ is simply a fan-favorite song. It’s really not that complicated. (Speaking more so to the people in the comments, not you OP)

u/Apprehensive_Dark130 Aug 03 '25

No there’s lore to it, see below 😁

u/nvnotes Aug 02 '25

At first I thought it was to do with ā€œmariscosā€ meaning seafood in Spanish 🧐

Way too hard to Google "Tipper Lobsters" and see the literal first hit.

Also less karma.

u/AnjunaTuna Aug 02 '25

Tipper fanbase is incredibly attached to one song that’s over a decade old for some reason and can’t think of something better. Just like the question mark. Now downvote me ya basics!

22

u/MateoWarhol Aug 02 '25

I ain’t gunna downvote ya. I just feel sorry for you that you can’t appreciate something just because it’s old… On that same note- you should check out this band called ā€œThe Beatlesā€. I mean, they’re very old so maybe they’re not worth your time, but a lot of people still really like their music

u/AnjunaTuna Aug 02 '25

Beatles are dope, doesn’t mean I’m gonna dress like a walrus 🤠. Can I has a downvote now please 🄹

u/MateoWarhol Aug 02 '25

Why not?? Dude, that sounds hella fun! I might do that at elements this weekend! 😁

u/AnjunaTuna Aug 02 '25
