Here's a classic...with a Belgian twist :

What's more, the man didn't speak a word of english: the text was written fonetically for him... But he was a great Belgian Folk-hero back in the sixties...
Very nice! Great 60s sound!
My personal favourite.

Not a shanty per se, but you can't beat "Hearts of Oak" for a rousing pre-battle sing-song or a wardroom dinner!

Good choices!
Rob, that too is one of my all-time favorites. That's a great cd too, with lots of other classics.
Not as upbeat as the English, but here's a couple of Russian.

All are great. Had me stomping my feet but I have to say that Alex yours was awsome. I did Civ War reenacting years ago and we would sing that song after a few brews and have a great time doin it. Now I have to search for CD's.
Alex I have listened to this three time and just love it. At times a bit Bob Dillon like but it is great.
Spanish Ladies is always a winner in my book. And Lego beer song! Ha!
Another favorite of mine...

Those are fun. My only exposure to shanties was listening to the guys who sang on schooner I sailed on one afternoon in Key West. I had left the barky before I remembered to buy his CD...:(
What was her name? :DQuote:

Just listened to the Drunken Sailor again. Reminds me of Golden Earing as they were great also.
This is another of my favourites.

Although not a shanty, my crew has been known to sing this song:

Over the years I must have watched that movie more than five times. My favorite drinking song. Could listen to Mario Lanza all day.Quote:
