Under the Sea

How is it possible to ever be under the sea? In. On. By. Near. Next to. Above. But never, ever, under. Not without alot of digging.

I partly blame Disney. In particular, Howard Ashman, (lyricist on The Little Mermaid) but then the song sounds rubbish with just 'in'.

I think its more fun to be under something than in it although both have their merits: under the bed or in the bed? Its a tough choice.

What about the underground? That is technically both under the ground and in the ground. Is the sea like the ground? In which case you can be under it without any digging. I guess you can be under some of the sea, just not all of it. In which case the song, and subsequent phrase should be 'Under Some Sea'.

This is trickier than I first imagined. Like that game where you have to get the wire thing round the mini-rollercoaster without touching it and making it buzz. Or jigsaw puzzles. Or getting rid of thrush.
