In the song, there is lyric that says the lake never gives up the dead. That's because the lake is deep enough and cold enough that throughout much of the lake, the lake bottom never mixes with surface water. It's very cold, not much above freezing and has no oxygen. Most of the time when someone drowns, if the body sinks, after some time it floats as decomposition gases form. But not in Lake Superior. When a body reaches the bottom it stays there, preserved.

Given the subject and the bolded, I was tempted to make a fishing pun. But I decided not to take the bait.

A news story from 2004...
--------------------------
Thieves caught as they try to silence parrot

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Afraid a talkative parrot might prove to be a stool pigeon, three thieves returned to the scene of the crime to silence the bird — only to be caught by police. After making off with DVD players, computers, radios, TVs and other electronic gear, one of the burglars realized that a parrot in the home had heard him use the nickname "J.J." for one of his accomplices and was repeating it.

"They were afraid the bird would stool on them," police Maj. Billy Garrett said.
They went back for the bird and were loading it into the getaway car when police arrived.
The chase ended a few blocks away when the men crashed their car.

The light-green parrot, a 6-year-old bird named Marshmallow, flew away when its cage broke open.
Felicia Cobb and her children have not seen their pet since then.

A timeshare salesperson dies and is offered a choice of heaven or hell. Being a cautious type person, he asks to see both places before he chooses.

His "guide" first shows him heaven. Lots of angels playing harps, floating around on clouds, surrounded by people the salesperson has never seen.

Next, they visit hell. Here the salesperson sees lots of his old friends, laughing, eating pizza, player poker, and having a great time.

The salesperson thinks for a moment and then informs the guide that hell will have to be his choice.

Half a second later, the salesperson finds himself chained to a wall of fire and brimstone, the beer, pizza and poker are nowhere in sight and the temperature is unbearable.

He sees his guide off to the side and cries out to him..."hey, hey, hey,this is not what you showed me."

The guide smile and simply replies, "That was the model."

Why, yes. Doesn't everyone? If you hold it up to your ear you can hear Harry Belafonte singing "The Banana Boat Song." LOL!

DaveNV, you are telling us your age. Harry Belafonte singing "The Banana Boat Song" was how many decades ago. LOL

A cement truck crashed in 1959 near Winganon, Oklahoma. The mixer was too heavy to move so they left it. The locals have since repainted it to look like a Nasa space capsule.
