Though you could definitely make a case of how "of the" are not really trochaic but are really pyrrhic
Dudette, you had me until pyrrhic. I never remember pyrrhic.

"I'm a Caribbean amphibian! I like to hop in the tropical seeea! Caribbean amphibian! Won't you sing along with meeeee! Won't you sing along with meeeeeee, ribbit ribbit!"
That sounds like a criminally cute and ridiculous toy. I want one now.
