"Yo Boys, Sea Shanty" is probably my favourite quote this year.

[yirdna]

Let's take a moment to appreciate how clean the sounds from the beatboxer are.

[TommyHandshell]

Sometimes I wish I could sing and had friends like this to sing together.

[danielding]

They finish the song
Table: phew, glad that's over
Trills: How about another take?
Table: *nervous sweating*

[peterparker]

I swear this is the best singing group

[voiceofushavlogs]

Can we just acknowledge the beautiful harmony and the fact that they don't need instruments? (Other than drums of any sort)

[koke-]

I listen to it at least once a day. When I see everyone singing happily, it makes me feel happy too. I'm Japanese, so I'm sorry if my writing is strange. Please keep up the good work and I will support you.

[TheTrillsMusic]

Thank you all so much for the love and support of Wellerman! 
Our upcoming Holiday EP "Like It's Christmas" drops November 19th! Pre-save to Spotify now to hear it when it releases!

[musgrove]

Just when I think I don't need another cover of this tune, I stumble on *this*. Good show!

[NightShadow-xrbc]

That poor table... It's like,

*yooo boys, sea shanty

*table starts sweating* "my time is near..."

[trevorrude]

This is the purest example of perfect harmony I have ever heard. Well effing done!

[dariusztarkowski]

Super. Bardzo mi się podoba. Nie zdawałem sobie sprawy, że coś tak wspaniałego można stworzyć bez instrumentów, samym głosem.

LYRICS :

There once was a ship that put to sea
The name of the ship was the Billy of Tea
The winds blew up, her bow dipped down
Oh blow, my bully boys, blow (huh)

Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguing is done
We'll take our leave and go

She'd not been two weeks from shore
When down on her a right whale bore
The captain called all hands and swore
He'd take that whale in tow (huh)

Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguing is done
We'll take our leave and go

Da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da


Before the boat had hit the water
The whale's tail came up and caught her
All hands to the side, harpooned and fought her
When she dived down low (huh)

Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguing is done
We'll take our leave and go

No line was cut, no whale was freed
The captain's mind was not of greed
And he belonged to the Whaleman's creed
She took that ship in tow (huh)

Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguing is done
We'll take our leave and go

Da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da


For forty days or even more
The line went slack then tight once more
All boats were lost, there were only four
But still that whale did go (huh)

Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguing is done
We'll take our leave and go

As far as I've heard, the fight's still on
The line's not cut, and the whale's not gone
The Wellerman makes his regular call
To encourage the captain, crew and all (huh)

Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguing is done
We'll take our leave and go

Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguing is done
We'll take our leave and go

[alokpatil]

Rarely is it that the cover is equal or better than original. But this one is madness. Kudos folks! What a work

[minime]

I like their expressions - it's like they are telling a story (as it supposed to be, i guess). It immerses me in the song.
And they sound GREAT! Amazing! The teamwork is admirable, it deserves great respect.

[neige_]

Just for me

There once was a ship that put to sea
The name of the ship was the Billy of Tea
The winds blew up, her bow dipped down
O blow, my bully boys, blow

Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguin' is done
We'll take our leave and go

She had not been two weeks from shore
When down on her a right whale bore
The captain called all hands and swore
He'd take that whale in tow

Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguin' is done
We'll take our leave and go

Before the boat had hit the water
The whale's tail came up and caught her
All hands to the side, harpooned and fought her
When she dived down low

Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguin' is done
We'll take our leave and go

No line was cut, no whale was freed
The Captain's mind was not of greed
And he belonged to the whaleman's creed
She took that ship in tow

Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguin' is done
We'll take our leave and go

For forty days, or even more
The line went slack, then tight once more
All boats were lost, there were only four
But still that whale did go

Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguin' is done
We'll take our leave and go

Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguin' is done
We'll take our leave and
Take our leave and
Take our leave and go

[CreativeForcePro]

Truly amazing how every artist has its own additions & twists to the original song.

[who]

Can we appreciate how those beatboxing skills are on point?😮

[Sceidge]

THIS WAS LITERALLY SO INSANE LIKE ACTUALLY GOING NUTS RIGHT NOW!!!

[SPEAKERSR]

This is the moment, where you bow to the talent of these beautiful people. And wipe the tears from your eyes produced by the magnificent flawless harmonic angelic voices of this group
