"Shooting Shark" is a song by American hard rock band Blue Öyster Cult, appearing on the band's ninth album The Revölution by Night. Written by guitarist/vocalist Donald "Buck Dharma" Roeser with lyrics inspired by a Patti Smith poem, the song features a synthesizer-heavy pop sound mixed with rock elements. The song features Randy Jackson on bass, who would later go on to become a judge on American Idol from 2002–2013.[1]

"Shooting Shark" was a modest success, peaking at #83 on the Billboard Hot 100,[2] as well as #16 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock (chart) chart.[3]

Reception

AllMusic reviewer William Ruhlmann picked the song as an Allmusic reviewer's pick.[4] Errol Somay of Rolling Stone noted the song's saxophone solo, stating it "remind[s] us that Blue Öyster Cult are capable songwriters at both ends of the rock & roll Richter scale".[5]
