  • I love this song

  • does any one know where I can get this version. I can't find it on amazon. If it is on amazon please send me a link.

  • yeah, fuckit. I'm subscribing to you!

  • Never heard a sea chantey with visions o' anime!! Nice one.

  • I told my boss that it was time for me to 'roll and go' and then I set off on a swarthy adventure, once again....free

  • rofl .45 looks like naruto:P

    

  • @omgandwtf1 It probably is (I'm not a fan of Naruto), but I do know that all these characters are from Animes, as it's an Anime Shanty

  • tell me, why all of the pirates on the images looks like pussies? And why they have haircuts like anime Justin Bieber?

  • This video always makes me want to make travelling band of good friends and travel around the world, collect songs and discover cultures...

  • Mexico apparently

  • Really...who is the singing group. I've been looking for THIS version for a long time. 1st time of come across it. WHO SINGS THIS VERSION??

  • Makes me want to go Alaskan Crab fishing

  • Fuuuuuuuu.... I wanna be a pirate!

  • Do these images come from specific anime? Or is it only artwork?

  • @SWAT1985 Umm... They are Anime characters, but LordDrakoArakis draws the drawings, the artwork is his, but the characters aren't

  • Who does this version? I like it.

  • Encarta

    

  • status: newfound love for shanties

  • @MrPhychoizzy1 you love large rambling expanses of poor quality houses and sites of poverty? or you love chanteys... sailing songs

  • @xXfalken16Xx yupp i sing theese at school

  • who sings this?

    

  • Who is this singing the song?

  • Sounds like Hank Cramer to me.

  • why is Naruto there? :3

  • @Blueminecraftwolf because pirates are better than ninjas

  • No such thing as to quick to fire in my book. If you hold your fire the next time you might be dead. I say let em have it all with both barrels. Then you'll go home alive and the other guy well you won't have to wory about him anymore. I had it coming. : ) My favorite shanties are the ones done by the Clancy Brothers. "Haul away Joe". Manly, men who drank and chased girls and cursed that's my lot "arar me matey arar" "Alas they are all as dead as King luis". They are however on you tube still

  • I was to harsh : 0) I guess I've just become a grouchy old fart .

    From one old fart to another enjoy the drawings. Thanks for surviving the boilers. I'm usually a very empathetic guy, and a painter for over forty years. I have had accademics tear my painting a new arsshole numerous times but I've been selling them sucessfuly for the last 25 years . I wish groups of men with mens voices would get together to sing the way they used to. These guys were tough. I suppose that would be sissy today.

  • @geezerdombroadcast Sorry, I was a lttle quick to fire anyway. You're a painter...why don't you put some of yours on here? Been painting for 40 years and selling them for twenty-five..then you're doing something right. To hell with academics, most of the academics I know couldn't pour piss out of a boot with instructions on the heel. You're right about the mens singing groups. There are some acapella groups esp. at local colleges that are worth checking out.

  • The drawings are great IN THEIR PLACE. This guys/gals drawings are all over the internet. I fight to the death for them to show them anyplace or anytime. I'm just asking if that person could give us a break. It's more about self promotion than sharing. That's what comercial sites are for. They are good drawings if you like that stuff. Gowing to sea on those ships was pure hell much of the time not a fantasy of glory. I'v been to sea on a sailing ship and I can tell you It's tough.

  • @geezerdombroadcast I guess what chaps my hinderparts is "IN THEIR PLACE" . I'll leave that to those who draw and post to say where their place is. I'll agree with you that life was tough on those old ships. I never went to sea on a sailing vessel. I fired the auxilliary boilers on a WWll era Sub tender, and went to sea on a couple of diesel-electric and fast attack Nuke boats. That was fat living in comparison.

  • I'm so sick of these japanese style speed racer flipping cartoons. It is really ridiculous. With all the easily available images of real romance of the sea; it is a shame this is what we are bombarded with . Nothing wrong inherently with the cartoons; in their place if you know what I mean. They are all over the internet and I'm sick of them. Real men lived and die in a life of bravery and toil. They should be honored with real depictions or old photos not pseudo crap cartoon fantasy! Sorry.

  • @geezerdombroadcast That's a bit harsh. If you don't like them...and can draw more than just a drink of water...bust out a pencil and get busy. Nobody's bombarded with anything. You have to click on this stuff to view it. If you are compelled to honor someone with pictures that YOU like, quit pissing and moaning and get to work. I'm tickled that younger folks even listen to this music, and this fellow draws alot better than I do.

  • I surely love this tune...but not Santa Anna. He killed too many that he didn't have to. His spurs are displayed at the National Masonic Memorial in Washigton D.C. He's said to have given them to his captors after showing the grand hailing sign following his defeat at San Jacinto. He was given quarter though he showed none to Texians

  • relating to the Mexican General Antonio López de Santa Anna. Supposedly, the last whaler to return to New Bedford hauled in to this tune. The shanty is popularly supposed to have been started by British seamen who jumped ship to serve with Antonio López de Santa Anna in the Mexican-American War.

  • AWAY SANTIANNA!!

  • Whats the second song from 3:35 ?

  • Great rendition of a classic shanty. Crisp vocals, well balanced chorus. Who is this group? 'Santy Anno' was the Mexican general Santa Ana, infamous winner at the Alamo. He lost later battles and Texas gained its independence in 1836.

  • goddamn I love the bass on the chorus, even though I have to shove my headphones past my eardrums to hear it. :P

  • This isn't a whaling song. Its a song about British Sailiors who jumped ship at Mexico to fight in the war with America. its not exactly anything to do with whaling per se.

  • anyone know where i can find the song at 3:30? i really like it

  • @MONEYiLOVE realized how dumb of a question this is, please ignore XD

  • @MONEYiLOVE HAHAHAHAHAHAHHA

  • @MONEYiLOVE He says the song is called "Jamestown Homeward Bound" by Forebitter....google that to begin with!

  • Does anyone know who the artist singing is?

  • @IndieLimes They're called Victory Sings at Sea.

  • Comment removed

  • I just realised that the people performing this aren't sure what is meant by "Scouse". Seems that they think it must be some kind of descriptive word, rather than a nickname for people of a particular area (Liverpool). I say this as he talks about Nassau girls not having a comb (Liverpool in the original), later calling them "Scouse girls". Obviously they can't be both.

  • A mate of mine doesn't like the anime story to this - he doesn't think there was much whaling done along the coast of Mexico! I try to explain to him that Folk music isn't about historical or geographical facts.It's about our common myths and the emotional feelings that come from our hearts.

  • @derekwhitenz OK, Derek. You wouldn't be right but it's good that you're debating.

    Thousands of years the latest great battles and heroic deeds of the great people of the time were passed from community to community in song.

    Folk songs became THE way for people to discuss their true feelings about their Kings/Queens/Lords/Ladies. Of course the lyrics were all euphemism, to prevent torture and or death if the aristocracy found out they were the subject of the song.

    Myths to, though, certainly.

  • i NEVER thought id find the full version of this when i stumbled over it in the old microsoft encarta 95 disk! LOL

  • There is something satisfying about seeing Riku harpooning whale and Edward being drunk, lol

  • who are the singers on this by lord drako arakis? I love the artwork, but, I also love the music.

  • Comment removed

  • Never heard this variant!  :D Who's singing it?

  • Skipper likes whiskey and the maid likes rum, I had the water now i must run, mexico oh mexico away santy anno, mexico is a place i know, i shat myself in mexico.

  • Who performed this version?

  • 'Times is hard and the wage is low', but I sure as 'ell ain't headed for mexico.

  • Who sing this song it is the best ive ever heared! Please help! Thanks!

  • God damned anime..

  • wow, a song about Santa Anna LOL

  • thanks for uploading this btw, excellent

  • Blatantly been in spithead for say..six months..kept bored on ship acting channel hopper. you NEED women in those times :p

  • i love this song u should do more like this :)

  • well done, plus a great song slan, Jim

  • does anyone know who those anime characters are 

  • @NateD91 ye its naruto and saskue i know thoes 2 only tho

  • Anime and old sea shanty's do not mix aarrrrrr

  • Do you know who sings this version of this song?

    I've been searching for ages throughout iTunes, and it's no where to be found >.<

    I love this version so much out of all of the others!

  • @FriendlyyMushrooom It is from a CD called "Victory Sings at Sea" (VMR-503) available at victorymusic (.org) (go to online store > Music CDs) for $15.

  • Encarta

  • For all you arguing about Woman on the Sea in that time, as for the NAVY they were not But many women went Pirate and were on Pirate ships! that's exactly what this woman is describing here!

  • @Reflex19841 There were female remains amongst those discovered on Nelsons island in Aboukir bay intered there after the Battle of the Nile,there are numerous other accounts from the same period mentioning women onboard men of war . During the Trafalgar campaign Collingwood gave an order forbiding the women of the fleet from using drinking water for laundry and Nelson sends him a humourous reply essentially tellling him not to waste his breath as the women will inevitably do as they please .

  • @iroscoe I never knew that. thanks :) whats your source does it mention any other anecdotes? lol

  • @Hardrada88 There was a documentary on the arc dig on Nelsons Island a few years ago,Roy Adkins excellent Trafalgar 'a biography og a battle' touches on women involved in that action,another book he co-authored with his wife Lesley entitled Jack Tars has a chapter devoted to the subject .

  • @iroscoe (cont)The captain of HMS Goliath entered the name of 4 women on board whose husbands were killed during the Battle of Nile into his log and the amount he would pay the women in recognition of their efforts during the action,the Gunners mate wrote of the help rendered by the Gunners wife as well as mentioning that "there were some of the women wounded and one women belonging to Leith(in Scotland)died of her wounds..one woman bore a son in the heat in heat of the action" .

  • @iroscoe Excellent i'll keep an eye out for that book.

  • @iroscoe but would they have been hoisting the sails?

  • @danielw1245 Probably not theirs was mostly a below deck existence,cooking,washing and repairing clothes would of comprised most of their work when the ship was not in action .

  • @iroscoe so therefore they probably wouldn't be participating in the shanties!

  • @danielw1245 Why not?,sea shanties were not just sung by the top men during their work,lower deck men would of known them too .

  • @iroscoe If there were women aboard (a debate I will not enter) they probably would not have participated in the work shanties. However, this sounds more like a "forbitter shanty" in which everyone might well have participated.

  • @iroscoe aye but its a breach in the pirates code, breaking the code results in death or maroonin yarrrg

  • This song makes work soo much better, thank you for posting it

  • Please, tell me how I can purchase or download this song! I am hooked and have spent the past month trying to find it! It's driving me mad!

  • @Hustler0ne I believe it is from some sort of compilation called "victory sings at the sea"

    at least if you search those terms on google you will find links on sites like filestube.

    (not that i recommend that course of action ;-)

  • Could you post the lyrics?

  • Shoundn't the name be Santiago?  That's the way I learned it

  • Something I've always wondered... how exactly _do_ you knock Scouse girls two at a time?

  • @ArmandKarlsen Sounds like someone needs a trip to liverpool pal ;)

  • @ArmandKarlsen The same way you knock one at a time, but with a special eye to making sure you don't favor one o'er the other or they'll be using you for grapeshot

  • I love this version. Sounds more like its sea shanty roots than Odetta or Kingston Trio. Who is it?

  • Away Santi Anno!

    I really liked that song and vid.

    If pirates alive still they must like it too

  • @PrincessArikkan they are

  • Comment removed

  • check this out :

    "Module : Endlessly Ocean "

  • Great stuff!

  • This guy needs to make a CD! I'd totally buy it

  • Comment removed

  • @nextjetset It's right there in the credits scroll. "Jamestown Homeward Bound" performed by Forebitter. There's another video by this same person that has that song as its base.

  • @shurhaian yea. i just saw that after i posted the comments

  • who sings this song? ive heard the other and original versions but i like this one the best

  • what is the name of the artist?

  • I love this song and the video is so cool

  • Yarr harr!

  • Can you tell me where I can buy this album mate its a very good version.

  • great song, great art - cheers

  • 26 people dislike the mexican chicks

  • 26 Texans are still angry about the Mexican-American War.

  • @Lleij red neck jerks. 

  • @Lleij lol I don't normally condone the "x people missed the like button" etc. statements, but that made me chuckle.

  • Fair enough. Nicely done btw.

  • LOL naruto xD

  • kesker se, south african,try hms bastard.they claim it wasnt a ship.

  • Anime and pirates just don't mix.

  • @johnrcoben They be whalers! not pirates.

  • @johnrcoben Well, if you're a little sketchy about that but still willing to give an original pirate manga a shot, Destiny's Hand is a good read. I found it at Barnes and Noble.

  • Love this version, but wich artist is it?

  • its a French song and its about a Ship called the Santiano, not mexico! i HATE this version

  • @TheOneTrueKit ehm... this song is about the legendary Mexican general Santa Anna. This song is way older than that French version of yours. Santiano was made of steel. When this song was sung on the decks of the Royal Navy ships no one could even imagine that windjammers would be one day made of steel.

  • @TheOneTrueKit actually the original version is about the Mexican General Antonio López de Santa Anna, and believed to have been started by British seamen who jumped ship to join the Mexicans in the war.

  • Where does this recording come from?

  • @ProbeOneMusic Check the credits it tells you sang both the main song and the credit song.

  • Sea Shantys were songs to sung to keep spirts up and to help keep men working in time when duing jobs, like some of the pics in this of men pulling ropes

  • The correct nautical term is a 'line'

  • I must admit, I wouldn't have thought of combining anime and sea chanteys, but I really like what you've done. I am a young guy that laments how my generation rarely appreciates such music, but you are doing a great job... Perhaps you have heard of Stan Rogers and his song "Barret's Privateers?" I bet you could have some fun with that one, though I won't try to tell you what to do with your art. Thanks again.

  • Why anime?

  • @pollux969 Why not?

  • @pollux969 It's manga, actually... anime is moving pictures you see on TV

  • Why anime?

  • Who sang this version?

  • Am I the only one who think women sound blatantly out of place in these shanties?

    No women on board, remember? 'Tis terrible luck it is...

  • @IsThisSumBattleToads Yes, and since there are no women on board what do you think is on the sailor's minds and thus what do you think they would be singing about? Lots of sea shanties sing about women.

  • @IAmTheWoodenDoors  he means the woman singing in the background mate.

  • @independantnight XD Totally the cabin boy, yo.

  • @ExquisiteDelusions WHAT?? Bloody hell, thats embarrassing, I thought she was a man with fat in all the wrong places.... Well, I guess that doesn't mean I'm gay then... Haha.

  • @IsThisSumBattleToads

    HAY BUTTSECKS FTW

  • @IsThisSumBattleToads Them ain't women, me hearty.... them is cabin boys ; )

  • @IsThisSumBattleToads Women were present on navy and merchant ships. If a woman could figure out a way to earn her keep, sailors and especially warrant officers' wives, washerwomen, whores and several women in disguise were on ships. They were technically not permitted, just as a woman who was denied the Victoria Cross for a wound at the Battle of Trafalgar -- she loaded the cannons and suffered a cannonball wound. See Suzanne Stark's "Female Tars" or shanties "The Handsome Cabin Boy"

  • @bosephusatropos the VC didnt exist at the time of trafalgar Ole Vicky werent queen yet

  • @AlmightyMan01 Well, you see, the VC was awarded to heroes of Trafalgar. Captain Thomas Hardy was given the honor long after the war, who would have been an old man and out of the action by then. Obviously, Victoria wasn't queen, but this honor was bestowed later.

  • @bosephusatropos Aye, there's a song called the Handsome Cabin Boy about a woman dressing as a bloke to go to sea, then getting knocked up by the Captain!

  • @IsThisSumBattleToads Shanties were meant to do manual labor by, it kept people going by moving with the beat, it was reproduced here by musicians who wanted female voices to offset the men.

  • @tendoking48

    Speak for yourself. I've been a music major for the past six years of my life.

    I know for a fact that there were no women on board during said "manual labor."

    Female voices turn this from a historical "folk" song to a pop song.

    If I wanted that bullshit, I'd listen to Justin Bieber. His voice might as well be female, anyway... (Yes. I went there.)

  • @IsThisSumBattleToads wow, chill, I never said there were women doing manual labor on ships and it takes a lot more than a couple women singing to turn a sea shanty into a pop song. And let's be honest, you don't "know for a fact" because you're not a three hundred year old sailor, superstition or no, there were plenty of women on the seas in those days.

  • @IsThisSumBattleToads You just lost all credit when you compared this to Justin Bieber.

  • @Dordrius

    Umm... Excuse you, good sir?

    I would never in my life, dream, or last breath even THINK of comparing REAL music to that emo-haired, baby face'd icon who gets preteen girls' panties wet.

    Once his balls drop, his career is over. "...and not short enough, it was."

  • @IsThisSumBattleToads tis the captains wife

  • @IsThisSumBattleToads No Women on Board?-----Read the History-------------

  • @Brill39e

    No u.

  • @IsThisSumBattleToads Please read your history i.e Victory / Nelson.

  • @IsThisSumBattleToads What about Anne Bonny and Mary Read??

  • @IsThisSumBattleToads True there were no women but there were boys from the ages of 8-14 they would've been doing the high bits so I reckon it would've sounded much like this.

  • @SirRandolphWinston Actually....there were plenty women onboard both Navy and Privateer and Pirate ships (and no, not just wenches).

  • @SirRandolphWinston

    Then get a boys' choir to do it.

  • @SirRandolphWinston yeah. they also kept boys 8-14 on board for other uses, as well. meaning they sodomized them.

  • @aaronvespro Sure, but there were girls too, in every port. It's all about sex isn't it? There were women aboard the ships too, but they never got recorded in the roster. Even after 6 months on sea, I wouldn't bugger a boy, would you? Sailors being lusty bunch is because when they get ashore they'll get a girl. In every port.

  • @IsThisSumBattleToads

    Unless they be nekkit, matey! Then it'll surrrre bring good luck

  • @IsThisSumBattleToads so what? The women on the shore aren't allowed to have an opinion? Stoopid.

  • I agree with Gunganfan!!! that son would be epic

  • @Obihalf Thank you. That means a lot to me.

  • Comment removed

  • Who is this group and what is the name of the album? I am having one hell of a time finding this song anywhere but here, and out of all the versions I have ever heard I love this one the most. If anyone can help it would be appreciated! I love this song/video. Catches everything, and I like mixing of genre's. :) I post these on my FB every so often, everyone loves them as well. Thank you for sharing!

  • REQUEST! Do "Fifteen Men on a Dead Man's Chest" next. PLEASE!

  • The songs really cool, but the Japanese cartoon stuff really
