I very much enjoy this one. Never really listened to any of their other stuff though so they may be terrible otherwise.

Currently listening to Jarvis Cocker - A Drop Of Nelson’s Blood. Difficult to imagine a voice less piratey :smile:

Not really a sea shanty but a fabulous old folk song with a sea journey at its centre

Barrack Street on Penguin Eggs is one though, also GOAT album. Only Sea Shanty that I can think of with about 20 different variations:

He’s also done a version of Yarmouth Town which is on Unearthed which is really good.
