  • please upload more vintage videos. i love your music. it's so refreshing.

  • Did you see a London black taxi ?

  • bleaker street bitch

  • i lost my virginity to this song

  • @rocknova really? i lost mine to popcorn

  • @moakley

    I lost mine to a fat midget heroin addict. Truly.

  • @rocknova i'm so sorry

  • Best You Tube Version- So Far !!!  Well Done.

  • Fabulous!!!!

  • When this song came out i got hold of the 7" single, and loved it, but thought it ended too soon with the faded jig. My local record shop told me there was a 12" coming out, so i ordered it, thinking maybe more of the ending. But no!!! it faded out at about the same place(3 minutes) Curses fooled again!!! I still have it (hey i paid £3.29 for it.) and play it when im in the mood for a good-time tune.

  • Oysters - the best band in the world

  • I like the Steeleye Span version much better.

  • My thoughts always were that no one remake could be even close to the original, but this is something amazing,

    Great performance, wonderful

  • Not sure what you mean by 'original' but i don't suppose anyone could actually tell you when this first materialised. It being an old sea shanty so would be, possibly, 200 years old. And referred to Can't You Dance The Polka.

    Anyway - well done to John and the boys! Hoping to see 'em back on home turf in december :0)

  • Great version of a classic sea shanty! The video rocks...great shots of NYC in the background!

  • Love watching this - reminds me of when Ian Telfer used to be really scary - shorts, doc boots and tattoos down his legs - no! I'm not showing my age..

  • HAHA I don't think any New York girls have danced polka since the Germans got Americanized

  • @massholesteve, actually, if you by that statement mean post WWII, I believe you're way too late and off by at least half a century.

  • what a performance

    just wonderful

    lovely

  • love this song

  • We just saw them last night in Vancouver, what a great show!

  • I never heard of this band before, but loved this video

  • Love this song - great vintage Oysterband. Weren't they cute in those days!!! (But are still gorgeous after all these years!!!)

  • Anyone have more information on "the crew of an ocean racer (later arrested)", as mentioned in the description of this video?
