and I think I now know what to call it.
[all gasp] "A Song for Ripple."
- Oh!
- Would you all like to hear it?
- Yes!
- Well, yeah!
- Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
- Okay, okay, but listen.
I'm all filled up with krill, so if you all want to travel with me, I sing it for you, okay?
I know you'll love it, but it's fine, you know?
It's no big deal.
- Okay, okay, okay.
- Yeah.
- Wow.
All right, well, we're about to head back down south ourselves, but how will we keep up with a giant humpback whale like you to hear the song?
- Oh, yeah, don't you worry your tiny little fins off.
I may be huge, but I'm a much better singer than I am a swimmer.
You'll be fine.
No big deal.
- Don't forget, Ludwig's songs can be heard for up to 20 miles from where he's singing.
- Yeah, so if you fall a little behind, it's A-okay.
All right, here is Ludwig's latest song in a personal concert just for you.
[laughs] But hey, it's fine.
It's no big deal.
[laughter] [Ludwig singing] - Wow.
- The song!
- It's beautiful.
- Whoa.
- I love it.
[singing continues] ♪ ♪ [laughter] ♪ ♪ - Bye, kids.
And before I go, here is the big finish.
[singing flourishes] - Wow!
- Wow!
Bye, Ludwig!
- That is so loud!
- See you next time!
- Bye-bye.
- Bye, Ludwig.
- Whoo!
