Forever Dolphin Love is the title track of the album that began life as Please Turn Me into the Snat; SXSW's blurb, seen in a search summary, says the album was renamed after its ten-minute centerpiece. Mockasin is presumed to be the sole writer, though credits were not verified. It was recorded at his parents' home in Te Awanga. No direct comment from him about the song was found; his remarks about a dolphin who leaves, and a man who loved it, concern the two albums rather than this song specifically.
It is the most played song in Mockasin's setlist.fm statistics, at 38 performances, including the second song at LIKE in Tokyo on October 1, 2023, the third at La Cigale in Paris on October 20, 2023, the fourth at the Sydney Opera House Playhouse on October 16, 2025 and the eighth at The Others Way in Auckland on November 29, 2025. Its first performance was not found. Erol Alkan made an Extended Rework in 2012, released as an EP on November 26, 2012, and there is a Mickey Moonlight Sludge remix; no covers or samples were found.
