Always thought this was essentially a shanty

A Sea Shanty being number 1 in the US has never featured on a bingo card ever:

That Rouge’s Gallery shanty compilation mentioned at the start of the thread is great. Louden Wainwright III’s cover of the Good Ship Venus is particularly fantastic (but also a bit filthy so not one to play if home-schooling):

Didn’t see the GLC’s contribution to this coming.

Knows it.

This has something to do with the sea.
