In an alternate universe, The Manta Ray is a part of that same upper echelon as The Twist, The Electric Slide, and The Macarena. Very popular at wedding receptions.

Frank said his voice was slowed down in this song to give that weird vocal effect. But i only mention that as an excuse to say: this song is brilliant.
