This page was made Song of the Month forJune 2019.
"Intelligence" is a song from the Danish animated film Help! I'm a Fish. It features Joe as he persuades other fish to take the potion he stole from Professor Mac Krill to become intelligent.
The original Danish version of the song was performed by Joe's voice actor, Nis Bank-Nikkelsen. In the English dub, the song was performed by Joe's voice actor, the late Alan Rickman, and a chorus as the other fish.
Once, there was only silence, and not a speck of hope in sight
And every tiny bubble burst on its journey to the light
But the spark of creation will flicker again
It's a brand new era, about to begin
Now, we've been caught, we've been sold and left out in the cold
Evolution's been passing us by
But with this potion in hand, we've been given the chance
It's time to turn the tide
Come join me and seize this opportunity
Alter your destiny
One single drop will be enough to put you on top
Intelligence, say you'll lead the way
Intelligence, have a sip today
We owe it all to Joe
One potion, one ocean, one ruler of all
It's a vision I've seen, it's the world of your dreams
It's a pearl in the palm of your hand
And with the power of speech, it is all within reach
We can swim to the Promised Land
But promise us Joe, you'll be our guiding light
Such an amazing guy
King of the cod, lord of the krill, the prince of the whales
Intelligence, say you'll lead the way
Intelligence, have a sip today
We owe it all to Joe
King of the cod, lord of the krill, the prince of the whales
