Every dead body that is not exterminated becomes one of them.
It gets up and kills! The people it kills and kill!
Why is it?
Because they still believe there's respect.
Hello, Captain.
I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-
I-I was born
A zombie
From Mercury.
I just sleep.
I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-
I-I was born
A zombie
From Mercury.
I just sleep.
Ah-I-ah!
You got an alternative?
Yeah, yeah, I got an alternative.
Let's get in that old whirlybird
There, find us an island someplace, get in the, and spend what
Time we got left soakin' up some sunshine.
How's that?

According to some research I did, albatrosses are said to be the "bad luck birds", apparently.
Crows are bad luck on land and I guess albatross are bad luck by sea.
Maybe its a metaphor for like a "sea of zombies?"
Just as a side note, Gorillaz seems to really like this movie b/c they use a musical number from it as the Intro for their new album "Demon Days" (its the part where the two guys are outside the mall, getting ready to drive two trucks and block off the entrance, and the zombies are all crowding around the trucks).
The phrase "To carry an albatross around one's neck", which is often shortened by just making a reference to an "albatross," is often used, especially in Britain, as a metaphor for carrying a heavy burden of guilt. It originates from a famous narrative poem by Samuel Coleridge, "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner."
