The question is "Who WAS Flipper".
The answer is a friendly dolphin who befriended a young boy. The theme song went like this:
They call him Mikey, Mikey, he posts faster than lightning,
No-one you see, is a bigger post whore than he,
And we know that Mikey, lives in his mother's basement,
Driving there - behind the wheel of a Su-bar-oooooo
Everyone loves the clown prince of OT,
Ever so complimentary and silly is he,
Thanks he will give when women post their selfies,
The number one leg-humper is he!
They call him Mikey, Mikey, he posts faster than lightning,
No-one you see, is a bigger post whore than he,
And we know that Mikey, lives in his mother's basement,
Driving there-behind the wheel of a Su-bar-ooooo
Or something like that.
