"Flying Fishmonger" is the updated version of the theme song specially commissioned by Reginald Fletcher for his attempt to jump McGregor's Gorge of Doom with his motorcycle during his days. This song and the original version are heard during the episode "The Flying Fishmonger" and are revealed to be integral to the plot of the episode. The original version was so dreary, it caused it to rain, and delayed Reginald from jumping McGregor's Gorge.
Lyrics[]
Choir: Holy, Holy Mackerel
Holy, Holy Mackerel
Holy, Holy Mackerel
Holy, Holy Mackerel
Phineas: He's bald on top
He's got an artificial hip
He's gonna take a hop
He's gonna take a trip
He's weak in the knees
And he can't find his keys
But put your hands together
'Cause he's here to please
He's a Flying Fishmonger (Flying Fishmonger)
He's a Flying Fishmonger (Death-defying wonder)
He's a Flying Fishmonger with nerves of steel
He's got an old blender motor
And a pair of wheels
