US, Canada and UK tours on sale now! See details at TheLongestJohns.com/live

"I can make a thousand people quack, what's your superpower?" Oh my gosh, I love this band so much.

That is one of the best intros to a song I’ve ever heard. RIP Dave’s retirement funds

This gives me such joy! I love Dave's intro, I love how much fun everyone is having onstage. ADEQUACK!

I've sang this song to myself so many times since I first heard it. My older brother even ran a custom-rules RPG campaign where I played as a blind sail-maker with a motley crew who wound up catching the duck in a giant net and eventually killing it.

This song is how I got my 6 year old daughter into shanties. Thanks chaps! At this rate she'll have a full beard & peg leg by the time she's 9.

After 6 months I gave up and wrote a song about a giant duck This song will forever be one of my favorite songs of yours

So many happy bouncy people. What a great song & a fantastic evening.🤣😁

0:10 Dave, the problem with that idea is that you'd already written Bones in the Ocean, and I don't think you're gonna get any better than that.

No one: Absolutely nobody: Me, knocking about the house randomly singing: "A MaLlArD of such MaLiCe, twice the size of any man... 🎵🎶😂

That's a pretty awesome super power there, Dave! Loved it 🦆

"I can make a thusand people go "Quack!" what's your superpower?" Oh bless you and your beautiful soul Dave

Neil Diamond: Can make you touch hands. Fitz and the Tantrums: Can make your hands clap. Dave: Can make you quack.

You made many more than a thousand quack, your power is beyond the scope you originally believed, I am in awe

*LYRICS - Moby Duck - The Longest Johns* After fourteen years I left the sea, for a life upon a lake.
After all the storms I'd seen, I needed a good break.
I thought still waters would mean peace for me,
but that was a mistake…
For the place I chose was bedeviled…by a giant evil drake.

A mallard of such malice, twice the size of any man.
A bill to give you nightmares and a monsterous wingspan.
You cannot hope to fight it so avoid him if you can,
that terrifying waterfoul, the beast beyond the dam!

Row-ho Row-ho Row with all our might,
row with harpoons loaded and spoiling for a fight.
Row-ho Row-ho, and with any luck,
we'll win the day and do away the dreaded Moby Duck!

I'm not one for surrender, so a vengeful oath I swore.
I gathered up me hearties like so many times before,
we shod our ship with weapons and prepared to go to war!
'Til that fetid feathered fearsome flying duck will breathe no more!
(Ho!) 
Row-ho! Row-ho! Row with all our might,
row with harpoons loaded and spoiling for a fight.
Row-ho, Row-ho, and with any luck,
we'll win the day and do away the dreaded Moby Duck!

There was bonnie brave Marie, who to her arms had waved goodbye.
And handsome Jack whose duck-attack left him without an eye!
The darby twins with one leg each on deck were standing by,
only a couple dozen limbs between a crew of twenty-five.

Row-ho! Row-ho! Row with all our might,
row with harpoons loaded and spoiling for a fight.
Row-ho, Row-ho, and with any luck,
we'll win the day and do away the dreaded Moby Duck!

The fight raged on for several hours, defend and then attack…
With beatings from those wicked wings our boat began to crack…
The beast reared up to finish the job, and with a mighty quack...!

(QUACK!)

I rammed my harpoon in his throat and made a tasty snack! Row-ho! Row-ho! Row us back to shore,
we'll drag his broken body back and roast it on an oar.
Row-ho, Row-ho, barbecue the beast,
with hoisin sauce and pancakes, we will have the biggest feast!
 Row-ho! Row-ho! Row with all our might,
we rowed 6with harpoons loaded and spoilin’ for a fight.
Row-ho, Row-ho, we had all the luck,
we won the day and did away the dreaded Moby Duck! 
We won the day and did away the dreaded Moby Duck!

QUACK!

I am turning this into a D&D one shot lol

This is my kayaking with my kids song 🤣 they absolutely love singing along with it while we paddle around the lake

Ohhh! The booming base drums! What a fantastic addition to the song!

I think this is probably one of my favorite TLJ songs ever. I mean, I love 'em all but this one is sooo fun and makes me laugh every time. And I love the way you actually sing it. It sounds a little bit different than the first recordings, and it's absolutely perfect. For tonight, it helps me to find some more motivation to finish my work... Thanks guys !

Excellent! You guys truely are the greatest band this world has ever known!

I'm so excited I get to go to there concert on Thursday

After all these years, you guys are still great.

This song is beyond chaotic and im here for it

My superpower is to make random passing-by driver in a car uncomfortable by a group of people following the driver by their intense gazes at one command. Also, this quacks were so clean. 11 out of 10 ducks would recommend! 🦆

I hope we get the hog eye man from the live (among others), it was so gooood

Absolutely amazing! I can't wait to see y'all down in Austin in a few weeks! "I can make a thousand people go quack, what's your super power"

I think this song makes me feel the happiest out of any songs you guys have performed It might just be the ridiculousness of it but it's an amazing song

A shanty classic is born.

The drummer is such a vibe

Hell yea, this is a song one could dance to, drink a pint to, and sing along with.

The song I never knew I needed

2:00 that drummer is having an absolute blast, love to see it

This is one of my favorite songs

Oh gosh... Y'all need to come to northern Finland for a gig so I can hear this live.

🦆🚣‍♀ This is even better live! It may not bring retirement proceeds Dave, but it brings joy to many of us.

I played this at our after hours Ren fair party and everyone lost their ducking minds

By far your best song

This is my favourite version of this song I have ever heard, every time I hear it I can't help but smile and this just takes it up a notch! ADEQUATE! OCT 10TH!

I love it. Especially the end

"i can make a thousand people go quack, whats your super power?" Fucking legend hahaha

I like this version loads more than the album version... It just feels like the base and percussion are stronger with this live version and it really contributes to the overall sound and feel of the song. Plus it's such a treat to see my favorite musicians perform live, especially when you can plainly see they're having an absolute ball with it. And it's in Bristol! The hometown!🙌🙌 Love Robbie's energy as always. But really all of them do just a marvelous job performing live. Hope to see TLJ In 2024 when they come to the States, in Alexandria! Trust me that will be quite the highlight for me! 😁

Best performance, ever.

Brill vibe. Hope to see you guys play someday!

Amazing song, amazing ambiance

So glad to hear this again ❤

Robbie, I can't tell if you're in the wrong business or the perfect business! You have such a fantastic dramatic flare you could have gone into theater! 😝

The drums made this!

quack

song starts 0:33 not that i don't like the intro but i've been watching this live version so often haha

Thank you!

You guys are the only reason I want to live in the US or Canada because all of your shows look like a once in a lifetime experience! love you all.

love it! I wish i could be there live

This is such a cool song, and funny and a song everyone can sing along to. Please do this song like you did the community version of the other song but kids addition. It would be such a hoot. Great job guys. 👏

Mighty adequack one!

Easily my favourite song from you guys, just so much fun.

Moby Goose better watch out. And Moby Swan better be careful.

Any plans to release a whole concert on DVD? Keep us going until we can make it to another live show….

My niece thinks its the greatest song ever made, she listens to it daily.

Adding a bunch of joy and laughter to my day, thank you very much! ^^ 💚

Brilliant! I friggin' love everything about this performance. What fun! What is the shift on the last chorus? After the duck is dead lol.

Awesomeness! So excited to see y’all in Dallas!

Love it! Looks like a fantastic night 😊

I've gotta keep an eye on y'all's tour dates for next time you're in the states, these shows look like a blast!

Absolutely love this - all the strings! And the drums! So happy to have seen you in Charlotte!

I love you guys

Can't wait to see you guys in Dallas.

I can't wait to see you guys in Dallas!!

I'm coming to see your show in Brighton, I just hope I can handle it.
