It's a type of fish, and they are making word plays with the name of the fish. Why? I'm not sure of the origin of this one. I imagine it's like the beans or the beef stroganoff memes - the origin doesn't matter much at this point.

The English word for the fish is "sturgeon".

🎶 Like a sturgeon, caught for the very first time! 🎶

I tried my hand on one of those AI image makers... Almost got kicked off twice because apparently "like-a-virgin-era Madonna but a sturgeon" is considered inappropriate somehow.

Probably because of the word "virgin"

Also I was thinking more about "Like a surgeon" which is Weird Al's parody
