In “Ai Ai Maria”, they also sing the little verses: “Go to Faliro to see the shark, which with its first dive will make one bite of you, and we’ll never see you again.”

As for Faliro, it must have originated from some event.

I remember the event very well indeed. Just as the song says: “Go to Faliro to see the shark.” Indeed, at one point the newspapers were full of “reports” of a shark sighting in Faliro, which was so crowded in the summer…

A random prompt reminded me of another verse that must have been inspired by the same event:

And Stavrakis the nightclub singer, he’s got flair as well,
he looks like the dogfish that ate the little boy.
