Abney Park - The Derelict

[Shapingle]

It took a bit to catch onto the rhythm of this song.

'How to make this song sound like a robot is singing it' Open 2 youtube tabs, play this song in both of them, then make sure they play at the same time, like this comment, enjoy! :D

[darkdragonsouls]

2 top comments are the same, by the same people, on diffrent months?

good song tho

[SkullboyVonGhastly]

Nicola Tesla, Oscar Wilde AND pirates? Steampunk was built just for me!

[JaiNobesIsARat]

@SkullboyVonGhastly Pretty sure it's Nikolai Tesla. But we're in agreement on all the rest.

[SirCorrino]

@JaiNobesIsARat It's Nikola Tesla, no i at the end.

[SkullboyVonGhastly]

@JaiNobesIsARat Hm... Yes, that is the English name of him. In Norwegian he is called Nikola, you see. But thanks for the correction!

[JaiNobesIsARat]

@SkullboyVonGhastly Ok. Glad I learnt that. I remember it because Nikolai is the name of the Prince of Ironfirst in the ficticious world of Might and Magic.

How is it pronounced? Because I always read it "Nick-oh-lie" but I guess that's not right...

[SkullboyVonGhastly]

@JaiNobesIsARat (Another) hm... I actually think that you might be right about the pronouncement, save that you say "lai" at the end. By the way I saw a film this weekend (The Prestige), where they talked about him, and there they both wrote and said Nikola, so I think that it maybe vary... Very confusing...

[LikeAMacho]

@AstergirlSithstress Most Vikings were pirates, however, not all pirates were Vikings

[SirCorrino]

@LikeAMacho Vikings were mostly traders, actually. Sure, we raided some poor Englishmen and their monasteries, but I mean, who wouldn't?

[SakiAiza]

Pirates vs Ninjas? I don't care about that. I'm just here for the awesome music. Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

[raynsung]

A pirates vs ninjas debate... fun! Pirates. I mean, lets face it, pirates are the meanest, scurviest raiders ever. Ninjas... silent, deadly, but aren't much of a match against the gun totin', back stabbin' pirates.

[ArchangelAzrael13]

Yes, his voice is very hot. His name is Captain Robert. AAAARRRRGGG! Where's the rum?

[CrapWrongButton]

I love this conversation. Here we have a disagreement - on Youtube, no less - and no one's mutilated the English language, as far as I've read. I've no stance on the pirates/ninjas debate, but I tip my hat to all of you!

[AspergirlSithstress]

@CrapWrongButton It's a Steampunk video. What the dickens did you expect??

[munchlord]

@drstrangeman a large part of the reason why pirates still exist today is because the term pirate is a lot more generally defined. Any sort of nautical brigand or robber is technically a pirate. The Viking raiders were a type of pirates as well.

[HahalolxD56]

@munchlord The vikings were vikings.

I do get what you're saying, but no. Vikings are not like pirates. Not at all.

[5522NOYB]

@HahalolxD56 Hm...actually, now that he mentions it, they actually do seem pretty similar. The generic word "pirate" pretty much just refers to someone who raids someone else's stuff from a boat. Of course, the vikings did a lot more than that, too. Similarities. Whether or not they're the same thing is debatable.

[AspergirlSithstress]

@5522NOYB Well put.

[AspergirlSithstress]

Hmmm... alcohol. Raiding. Wildness. Boats (big ones). Sounds Vikingly Piratey to me...Simply a variation in style.

[georgebojo]

@Carrack090 Besides, I've never heard of an airship ninja!!!

[1236sason]

pirates vs ninjas...

Asians got small dicks

and also pirates dont follow any codes of honor or what ever

so here pirates beat ninjas ! and also the pirate songs are awesome ! :D

[AspergirlSithstress]

@1236sason Every pirate has his or her own limits.

[AsheramK]

Cowboy beats ninja

Ninja beats pirate

Pirate beats cowboy.

[drstrangeman]

pirate>ninjas...pirates get airships, guns, rum, and women, plundered loot and timeless stories and songs, and fun movies. ninjas get a sword and rice wine and are nearly indistinguishable from their women. and crappy videogames and bad movies. winner pirates hands down.

[Carrack090]

@drstrangeman Coulda just summed it up with: "when is the last time you saw a ninja with wenches and rum?"

[drstrangeman]

@Carrack090 coulda shoulda woulda but didn't think of it.

[tehBlixxy]

@drstrangeman Nah. Pirates fail to ninjas. However, an AIRSHIP pirate, thats a much different story.

[drstrangeman]

airship pirates are like our air force. but they actually do shit unlike the NATO chair force. and how do you figure ninjas kick pirate ass? there is not a single ninja that made a single shift in history. pirates have shaped the history through out the world. and there are pirates of different nations, ethnic groups and they are still in existence. sorry pal (*not really though) ninjas are little more than glorified farmers with pitchforks turned spy for hire. historically of course

[tehBlixxy]

@drstrangeman But they had a very important shift in the history of Japan. The ninjas fought against the tyranny of corrupt officials and samurai and played a large role in ending the feudal era in Japanese history. They also developed very unique ways of assassination and spying. Neither are bad, however. Its like picking the shiniest diamond out of the shaft.

[drstrangeman]

@tehBlixxy ok. i'll give you that. but still the age of piracy has made an international shift in technological development along with tactics. the simple fact pirates still exist today it a testament to their efficiency and their determination. personally I'd rather deal with a ninja than a pirate for the simple reason a ninja might out right kill you. a pirate would sell you right into slavery along with all your belongings. historically it was woe to those who crossed a pirate at any time.

[drstrangeman]

besides if you wanna get all fantastical ninjas get all the credit because of the japan-a-philes and the over rated katana punks and sense all manga tends to be about japan only (with very very few exceptions like Hellsing) but pirates actually get recognized by novelists and movie makers with a massive success. but the ninja is just a dime a dozen generic assassin in black pajamas who if grouped together are really suck-tackular. basically pirates improvise adapt & overcome. ninjas don't

[tehBlixxy]

@drstrangeman If we're getting really technical, the history of ninjas is much better than that of pirates. But at the same time, you bash me when I say that the Airship Pirates claim superiority over Ninjas AND pirates.

[DragonCaraneth]

Random question, would keel-hauling someone on an airship be akin to high-altitude bungee jumping?

[realcelestialphoenix]

@DragonCaraneth yeah, just don't get caught in the propellers

[videocritic2463]

To err is human, TO ARR IS PIRATE!!!

[123LNR]

@videocritic2463 - YARHAAAA HARDIHAAAHARAHAAAA

[videocritic2463]

@123LNR that sounded like crazy cat lady from The Simpsons.

[123LNR]

@videocritic2463 - It most likely was, it most likely was!

[ConspiciousCultist]

@videocritic2463 To err is what a wench be sayin' when she messes up the rum order, TO WASH THE POOPDECK BE THE RIGHT THING FOR YE PHILOSOPHY NINNYS. Yarr.

[LikeAMacho]

Yo yo and a bottle of RUM

[nikuotaku]

this song is awesome and the best park is that as of this point, its has 1 dislike. That's pretty impressive.

[PeekingInTheKeyhole]

Im in love with that voice.

[killer992222]

Fan-freakin-tastic... That's the only word I have for this...

[Kirhean]

Ahh...if only they made a cameo in one the Pirates of the Caribbean movies...

I could see Cap'n Jack getting down to Derelict...

[PhysXProg]

@Kirhean i think alestorm would be a better choice than abney for PotC

[Fpsfan59]

With a yo-heave-ho and a fare-ye-well,

A sudden plunge in a sullen swell.

Ten fathoms deep on the road to hell--

Yo-Ho-Ho and a bottle of rum!

[VooDooDollMaster]

Wow I'm really happy to see how many views this song has gotten. I want more people to know how amazing this group is!

[videocritic2463]

To Err is human, TO ARR IS PIRATE!!!

[AlexielSnape]

recently read 'Treasure Island'. I am TOTALLY grabbing this album!

[videocritic2463]

to err is human to Arr is pirate.

[AspergirlSithstress]

@videocritic2463 LOL!

[feefeenou]

I can't tell if I should jig or rock out to this.

Probably both. 8D

[AspergirlSithstress]

@feefeenou Well, it sure took you long enough! Care to join me and my crew? Mullets, bucket boots and 1895 Colt-Brownings are currently existing in abundance!

[feefeenou]

@AspergirlSithstress YEEHAW!

[NazhooCS]

In a few Days I'll go to the beach with some friends ... Now I have a theme song for drinking! jajaja!!

[ratholin]

This song and aether shanty make up for clockyard on this album.

[AspergirlSithstress]

@ratholin Make up for...are you implying there's something wrong with Clockyard?? HERETIC!!

[ratholin]

@AspergirlSithstress yes I love their intention but not all their efforts. I think clockyard was tedious and drawn out. I am not a fanboy only a over of good music so I'm always a heretic to anyone who worships the catalog instead of the message.

[ratholin]

@ratholin *lover

[AspergirlSithstress]

@ratholin "the catalog instead of the message"

???

I just enjoy the song.

[ratholin]

@AspergirlSithstress a catalog is the term for a band's collected songs. e.g. "I have the complete Dr. Steel catalog he hasn't put out a song I don't own. " When you start pretending even the lesser songs by an artist are masterpieces you discount the term.  Derelict and aether shanty and building steam were the best songs on this album the others were lesser to one degree or another. If clockyard had been the best song on the album it'd have been a bad album. Side note, awesome screen name.

[AspergirlSithstress]

@ratholin What if you're not pretending? What if you don't think the songs are lesser at all, and even like them better than Clockard, Building Steam, and Derelict? Not everyone has the same taste. And besides, some artist just create masterpieces everywhere they go--greater and lesser masterpieces, but all masterpieces just the same....

[JasanQuinn]

Did Abney Park just take a level in Badass? I think they just took a level in Badass!

[AspergirlSithstress]

If this song tickles your fancy, try Alestorm. Wolves of the Sea, To the End of our Days, The Huntmaster. Keelhauled. The Quest. Captain Morgan's Revenge, Terror on the High Seas, Chronicles of Vengeance. Death Before the Mast.

And all that.

[AQWThatWeirdNoob]

@AspergirlSithstress I aleady did and I love Alestorm. They are my 2nd favorite band. <3

[AspergirlSithstress]

@AQWThatWeirdNoob Nancy's harbour cafe! ;-)

[gypsyprince1989]

@AlexGoesNoob beautiful. sounds like a DAMN good plan. imma remember that for later this weekeknd!!!

[AlexGoesNoob]

@gypsyprince1989 Seriously, it was a great evening. Sang lot of different songs, msot of them were liek The Derelict. Was a nice evening.

[Asterion17]

@AlexGoesNoob Guinness is the best drink in the world.

[shyviolet1221]

The singer has a really hot voice....just throwing that out there :)

[yokomeshi]

@shyviolet1221 I'll pass that along to the Captain...

[ibag321]

So, this song is pretty much about a bunch of murdered pirates? Great song though

[XaleManix]

@ibag321 It was partially written by Robert L. Stevenson for Treasure Island, but the full shanty was composed by Young E Alison in 1891. This is just Abney Park making the song awesome.

[gypsyprince1989]

@XaleManix THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[f4ustuss]

This and Aether Shanties are the best songs on the album.

OF course the whole album is awesome but those song are simply awesome.

[EvilTim001]

THANK YOU!!!!

[CaptKujata]

You know, I never knew the actual name of this song until they performed it XD I'm still a big fan of Victoria, but the whole damn album just rocks my ship XD

[Rosichamp]

geile mucke zum saufen!

[blacksheepstony]

this one and airship pirates are my favourites!!! can enyone advise me for other songs as goodd as this one ??? plz

[whowantsabighug]

@blacksheepstony Aether Shanty! and Building Steam.

[CybeRogue23]

Sleep Isabella

Dear Ophelia

Under the Radar

... pretty much anything by them, haha. My favorite so far is Lost Horizons (album), followed by Aether Shanties (album)

[CapitanDonKarnage]

@blacksheepstony

aether shanty is a good "piratey" sounding track.

a good song in general from Abney Park is "the clockyard",  "throw them overboard", "Under the Radar", and "Building Steam." those are some of the best in my opinion,

[feh2]

@CapitanDonKarnage

Gtfo Furfag.

[drstrangeman]

@CapitanDonKarnage i personaly like the songs where Finn was still with them. an absolute bomb shell with dancing skills and a great voice.

[Catgirl450]

This is my favorite song off the aether shanties album
