Calamari Inkantation is a song performed by the Squid Sisters.
Description
Calamari Inkantation is primarily an electronic style song, showing musical similarities to certain J-Pop songs. In-game, the Squid Sisters version is actually a cover of the chorus of Calamari County (see below). The song is shown to have major significance, and the melody is being described as being etched into Inkling and Octoling's DNA, and listening to the song causes them to have powerful effects, from heightened strength to curing brainwashing. It is first played during Enter the Octobot King! At the beginning of the fifth and final phase, the Squid Sisters, as Agents 1 and 2 override DJ Octavio's I am Octavio, to play Calamari Inkantation, which gives Cap'n Cuttlefish the strength to break free of his restraints and dance, while Agent 3 continues on and defeats DJ Octavio, who is also led to dance with the music.
In the Super Smash Bros. series
The song also appears in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, and has a chance of playing in the Moray Towers stage. It's also one of the songs that can play when the Squid Sisters Assist Trophy is in use, along with Ink Me Up, and plays when fighting the final boss in Classic Mode as Inkling.
Lyrics
From the booklet included with Splatune was the official lyrics for Calimari Inkantation. The lyrics are nonsensical; the Japanese hiragana simply gives the pronunciation.

Chorus of Calamari County

Also referred to as the Calamari Shanty in the European release of Splatoon, this is a folk song rendition of the song, with few instruments used. It is meant to depict a recording of various Inklings singing along together, presumably by the beach. The beginning and end of the includes ambient noise of Inklings talking and the waves crashing of a nearby body of water. In-game, this version is not actually a remix, but rather the original version before the Squid Sisters made their own version, although the ambience suggests, that the chorus is not the original song either, as the song could be so old and traditional that no original recording exists, similar to various real-life traditional songs. Another theory is that it is a recording of Callie and Marie's winning performance in the first Inkopolis Annual Youth Folk-Singing Contest as depicted in the 17th Sunken Scroll, a promotional video released depicting the young Squid Sisters in the same kimono outfits depicted in the Scroll dancing to this version. However, multiple voices other than the Squid Sisters can be heard in the recording.
Although it is only mentioned in the game through the 23rd Sunken Scroll, this song is not actually heard in Splatoon, instead it was first listenable in Splatune. In Splatoon 2, the song can be heard playing in the background in Skipper Pavilion, but is only noticeable during Recon, where no other music is present.
