And we'll all hang on behind! Hope you enjoy our rendition of this classic shanty and hope you don't mind we only sang a few verses rather than the usual 70! (seriously, if you haven't experienced this being sung at a shanty festival at 3am, that's about the standard number) The beauty of the song is that it's so easy to join in with and add your own verses, so we had a bit of fun of our own.
Huge thanks to Kongs Bristol and Psychopomp microdistillery for letting us sing and film this music video.

(Just a bit of context: I'm a life-long wheelchair user) I first heard this shanty last year, when I happened to be in a period when my old motorized chair had died, and my new wheelchair was still on order, so I was getting around the house in a rented, a-bit-too-big-for-me, manual chair. I can confirm that A) Singing shanties actually works for making labor easier, and B) "Roll the Old Chariot Along" gets a whole new double meaning.

@Travio247 3 года назад

Was the sea shanty band hanging on behind noticeable?

@CapriUni 3 года назад

@@Travio247 Not that time. But (true story) when I was in a college orientation course for Disabled students, my roommate's scooter broke down, and while she used a borrowed manual wheelchair, we rigged up a rope for her to hang on to, and me in my working motor chair, towed her around to our classes, while she hung on behind (it helps if everyone has wheels). Oh, and "Roll, Boys, Roll" is another good one for the purpose. 😉

@plain_simple_garak 3 года назад

Haha what a great story. Shanties make great songs for so many contexts. They make road trips way more more fun, and my dad and I belt them out when we go fishing as we're putting the boat in the water or driving across the lake. The marina owners are friends of ours and they love it (as long as no one is fishing nearby, don't want to scare them off lol). But it's just fun to do

@jonathanrichards593 3 года назад

OK, Long Johns, here's a collab. opportunity with one of the educational channels (Steve Mould?): get some of the forwards from the Bristol Bears around a capstan on Bristol harbourside, and see how much faster they can haul a cable if they're keeping time with a capstan shanty! I am pretty sure that Capri-Omni is right, otherwise, why would shanties even be a thing?

@harrievans7200 3 года назад

They’re not lying about 70 verses. Myself and about 30 other medieval reenactors sang this around a roaring fire pit with bottles of mead flowing. We must have been going for about 20 minutes until one of us shouted “and an end to the song wouldn’t do us any harm!” We sang the verse out and stopped the songs, cheering like madmen.

This makes me think of navvies putting tracks down. There was the job of being the main singer (I think they were mostly the supervisor) if the song went on practically all da that might be what you want from the shift. this could be relevant but it might not be.

I count 7 syllables, but that principle works. -- "(1)And (2)a (3)drop (4)of (5)Nel(6)son's (7)blood" / "(1)And (2)a (3)ce(4)llar (5)full (6)of (7)beer" / etc.

Written while serving on a nuclear submarine. Chorus: And we'll roll the old Florida along We'll roll the Fightin' Florida along We'll roll the old Florida along and we'll all hang on behind! Lyrics: A malfunction light wouldn't do us any harm (a light came on in the protection circuitry) A man overboard wouldn't do us any harm (I fell off while connecting shore power at the end of the deployment) a burnt out fuse wouldn't do us any harm (a fuse blew in a control circuit) A seawater pump wouldn't do us any harm (we have two, but one broke) A seawater leak wouldn't do us any harm (there's water in my people-tank!) An acrid odor wouldn't do us any harm (tell-tale sign of burning electronics) A small plasma ball wouldn't do us any harm (someone pulled a small plasma ball out of a fuse holder) A fishing net or two wouldn't do us any harm (got tangled a few times) Broaching the ship wouldn't do us any harm (Diving Officer got his wings) Emergency deep wouldn't do us any harm (procedure if you're about to get run over at periscope depth) A thick-skinned square-fish wouldn't do us any harm (navy fried fish: thick skinned and square-shaped) Some beanies and weenies wouldn't do us any harm (also "some nuggies and tots," "some nice death pillows," or other food items) Some oil in the bilge wouldn't do us any harm (always something to clean up) Thirty minutes after watch wouldn't do us any harm (30 minute clean up after watch is over) Blazing my logs wouldn't do us any harm (making up logs rather than properly reading the gages/meters) an out-of-spec log wouldn't do us any harm (an engine room parameter is not at the specified level) Shooting water slugs wouldn't do us any harm (shooting a slug of water out the torpedo tube as a test) Earning your fish wouldn't do us any harm (nubs work to get designated Qualified in Submarines and wear their dolphins/fish) The four ORSE-men wouldn't do us any harm (Operational Reactor Safeguards Exam: 4 inspectors who check how we operate) If it's brown, flush it down, If its yellow let it mellow (transiting through the Suez or Panama Canal means limiting how much we flush toilets to save space in the tanks) A Hollywood shower wouldn't do us any harm (submarine shower: turn water on, turn water off, soap up, turn water on, turn water off. Hollywood: run water continuously) Just shut up and push, just shut up and push (guys in the engine room don't get to know anything. just shut up and push the boat) Just two more weeks, and then we'll be done (usually get extended, usually for two weeks)
