That song is based on a real lady, and she didn't just sell sea shells - they were fossils that were hundreds of millions of years old.

She and her family made a living off it, and she's now known worldwide for the incredibly rare fossils she carefully extracted and sold to museums.

Not the worst idea, all told.
