      Embarrassed to admit I immediately tried to fill "Call me ___" with MAYBE before I spotted the theme, but overall, great theme, and lots of fun clues in there!

        Moby Dick is one of my favourite books and I still definitely tried to type MAYBE, because that is an absolute banger of a song.
