GIANT SQUID WATCH

KEVIN BACON - BACON PENS SONG ABOUT GIANT SQUID


[EDITOR: WTF?]

Actor and musician KEVIN BACON was so moved by the story of a giant squid recently photographed in the deep waters of the North Pacific Ocean, he's written a song about it.

Bacon, who is a huge fan of all things scientific, was fascinated when he learned that Japanese researchers had been able to snap pictures of the gigantic sea creature.

And he was moved to get musical after reading that the squid lost one of its tentacles breaking free from a hook.

He says, "They've been looking for this poor guy. He lives like 3,000 feet under the surface of the water and he's been down there and nobody's ever photographed him. These Japanese guys sent the camera down with a big hook on it and then they hooked him. And he fought for four hours and ripped his own arm off and swam away. I was like, 'That's terrible... I'll write song about it!'''

But Bacon now has one problem with his creation - he doesn't know what to call it.

He adds, 'I want to know the actual scientific name of the (squid) because that's going to be the title of the song.'
