"Shooting Shark: Love, Loops, and the Bite That Won’t Let Go"

This week on The Oyster Boy Podcast, we dive deep into one of Blue Öyster Cult’s most emotionally charged tracks — “Shooting Shark.” Inspired by a Patti Smith poem and drenched in '80s synth-pop and sax, this song tells the story of a love you just can’t quit. We break down the lyrics, explore the sonic identity, and reflect on what it means to be stuck in a loop of heartache, memory, and irresistible pull. Whether you’ve danced to it or cried to it — or both — this one’s for you.
