“There’s a Platypus Controlling Me” (“Shanty”) [Longer version] 

The full version is now available on my new album Smooth and Easy, Classic and Quirky by jimlapbap ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EAdcTjPAIgo.html

Records: 1. Vinyl disks that play music 2. Documents that keep track of things. HE HAS RECORDS ON HIS FINGERS

I love how at this time period, Platypus were about as believed to be real as a unicorn or a bigfoot. So the Captain is basically blaming his sticky situation on something that by all accounts is a mythical semi aquatic land mammal that doesn't exist.

Thank you Dan Povenmire for showing me this masterpiece!

A platypus? Pirate Captain Perry the Platypus!

Appreciate that, in this instance, the “records” stuck to his hands are written documents, like a ship’s log 😂

Very fun! Now I want to see you do "I Ain't Got Rhythm","Meatloaf Lover", or the obligatory "Squirrels In My Pants"

This is the greatest thing to come out of RU-vid in years. Thank you for doing the internet a service.

If I had a nickel for every time a Phineas and Ferb song was made into a sea shanty I would have 2 nickels. That's not a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

I so desperately want and need a full version of this

I love how most sailors during this time wouldn't even know of the existence of platypi

Okay, the timing you had for the house-left front row crew mate is legitimately impressive. Not once but TWICE did you leave the rhythm of the swaying and come back perfectly!

You could totally make it fit a more piratey setting because it does genuinely have the right lyrics for it. Like Platypus can be The Devil, Records can be Beers and who knows what else.

Legitimately enjoy this more than the original

A strange set of circumstances indeed! This one was really nostalgic, and I think it worked better than you thought from the intro of the video. Loved it!

Aw I was sad when it ended, as soon as it got good it was over. Love the harmonies, it’s the best part! Keep it up!!

I hope Dan Povenmire has seen this masterpiece

My Captain is a platypus

A good song while cruising the Grand Line matey!

It is kind of funny how There a platypus controlling me can actually be a quite meaningful song if you know jack about the context.

I love it! I also love how Dan tags people who do stuff abouy Phineas and Ferb. Makes it easier to find gems like this one ❤

this is genuinely a masterpiece. the beat, the tempo, the LYRICS, all perfect. a tear has been shed. thank you for this display of genuine art.

Can confirm, I am controlling everyone

SIMP Squirrels in My Pants Shanty: ru-vid.comKmBjOEYxzq4

This is one of the best things I’ve ever seen on here I am a huge fan Jim

This is better than the original

i love the creativity of musicians

Okay but why is the chorus response part at the end so gorgeous it was so rhytmic and pretty.

Had no idea how much I needed this

Stickler rage comment that drives engagement.

I need an extended version of this masterpiece

So Good Even THE Dan Povermine Reacted To This! (BTW For Those Who Don’t Know Dan Povermine Is The Creator Of Phineas And Ferb)

Boy, we need full versions of all the songs!

I did not expect the group song part to go so hard. I love it!

I thought of this in the shower and tried singing it this way. I'm glad when I searched for it on youtube, it was pretty much how I imagined it

Alright, but how HARD would this go on strings though?

The platypus part was so good

@Dan Povenmire, gotta see it

Nothing beats a good Sea Shanty and this was an amazing one.

Amazing 😆

Like voyage founders are a platypus, The captain is a platypus, The first mate is a platypus (Our first mate’s a panda) The King is a platypus The weather is a platypus The New World is a platypus It’s all just propaganda

This is beautiful xD

1:10 the way that the captain leaves 😂

I like this. Thank you

I've listened to this at least 10 times today alone. Fan freaking tastic

SO GOODDD!!

You should do Candace Party as a Sea Shanty next!

Bro did us all a service

It took me forever to notice the platypus at the bottom of the screen

You have done a great service

This is awesome! Can you please do Ain’t Got Rhythm and Chains On Me?

EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!¡ ❤

This is so cool!

I don't know what you're on when you think these up, but for the love of god, DON'T STOP. 😊

There is hope for the internet after all

Amazing

This goes hard

Incredible

Thank you so so much!

What’a real funny is that if you watch this as a video, not a short, then you can see a blue platypus at the very bottom of the screen moving very slowly.

RECORDS lmao why didn't I catch that the first time I watched it

top drawer

just an idea Well i'll be honest, I don't really understand but i fell out the crow's nest now i got tar on my hands And i got papers on my fingers {what?} Papers on my fingers I got papers on my fingers and i just can't stop {don't stop} I can't stop, I got a siren controlling (luring?) me {whaaat?} I got a siren controlling me, now let me sum it up It was a strange set of circumstances {a strange set of circumstances} I fell out the crow's nest, i got tar on my hand, now i got papers on my fingers and i just can't stop {don't stop! don't stop!} Well I would if I was able but a siren is controlling me, she's right behind the stern {there is a siren controlling him, whaaaat} {oh i get it siren is a methabor for what keepin ya down} {Like corporations are a siren. The Government is a Siren, your teacher is a siren {{my teacher is a seagull}} society is a siren, My Parents are a siren, The media is a siren, it's all just propaganda yeah we all got a siren controlling us} would probably change ''newer terms'' from the last part but i don't want to dig for the right words now >.>

Get the guy who voices dr doofemshmerts

We live in a platypus society

(clears throat) PERRY THE PLATYPUS?!

You should do Nil Admirari by Oneohtrix Point Never as a sea shanty. It’s got call and response

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

This sounds like a song from Hamilton

What hate comments? This sounds great!

I made a Nu-Metal Version of this when I saw yours!

Runescape memories

I liked the arrrrrrrr. for arranged

Could you do rubber bands rubber balls? Or perhaps history of rock How would it sound?

part of me is upset you didn't do the entirety

Just so you know dan povemire himself has seen this

Based Phineas and Ferb.

This is outrageous. The reponses in the song are in the complete wrong pace for a worksong on a ship!

We need a violinist to add to this

Yes

You're right, it doesn't 100% work, but I still enjoyed it

crazy that the man Dan Povenmire himself lip synced to this

I don't think comments sections really correct anymore when awesome things are made... oh wait I'm doing it right now aren't I?

me watching in 1.5 because it "sounds better"

This isn't a criticism; it is just an observation of mine. The "I fell down the hill" at 0:15 and 0:36 are the exact same. The things that tipped me off about that was the timing and the tonation/pitch. Sounded too similar to not be the same thing.

Das war pünktlich zum Beispiel das ersts Video für die letzten Wochen

I don't know. Sounds more like a dirge than a shanty

We Full version.

No way it exist

One word: fantasticlyamizus

I hope @Dantible sees this. :)

now do SIMP.

bpm?
