Chorus of Calamari County, also known asCalamari Shanty in the European version ofSplatoon, is a folk song performed by theSquid Sisters in the first annual Youth Folk-Singing contest. This song rose them to fame because it caught the eye of committee memberShy-Ho-Shy and helped them arrive inInkopolis. The Squid Sisters did not compose this song; in actuality, it is an ancient melody. It is danced duringGachi Bon Matsuri.
