I believe that's everyone, thanks for watching!

This really is what I love on the internet. One dude has a song stuck in his head and 10 people jump in to make it beautiful.

thias is my favourite side of Tik Tok, nobody is being Toxic, no celebrity drama just people vibing together and singing, its just so peaceful.

[Olivia-vykc]

I like it how everyone comes together and adds their own little style to the song: Violin, lower voice, higher voice, drum pad and beats! It's how people should be, when they can't physically come together and sing.

[WhoEustace]

That violin is the very definition of an eargasm. I've rewatched it so many times but everytime the violin starts playing it's just *chef's kiss*. It hits just right.

Honestly, the fact that these eight people don't know each other and just decided to pitch in to one guy singing a random sea shanty, restores my faith in humanity a little bit.

*"Never sail with a crew that can't sing"*

“Is this TikTok?”
“It’s what TikTok should’ve been.”

[theofficialchalkey]

"This is the Internet?"
"This what the Internet is supposed to be."
"This is not so bad."

“Filler baritone that no one will hear but adds gentile thiccness”
As a fellow baritone, I salute you

[calico]

Bro, the dude who started this quit his job, and is now signed to a pretty good record company

I was listening to this while taking out the garbage, ended up harpooning a bus.

[QuantumBraced]

Imagine going back to the 1880s and telling the sea merhcants that sang this that one day there would be electronics, computers, the internet, phones, cameras, tik tok and their song would be sung by people around the world layered into this thing that would be uploaded to the internet for the whole world to listen to. They would have made you walk the plank.

[alessio]

the contrast between the deep voice and the female one makes it all the more fantastic.

[mysterynerd]

This was more impactful than when celebrity's sang a song last year

[KSnitram]

Half are using the apple earbuds microphone. I can’t imagine the sound with actual recording gear

[TheHamsterLoverx]

If we get out of lockdown and they aren’t playing this remix in night clubs, I’m going back into lockdown in protest

[sanic]

This is exactly what TikTok should be like

[johnp.]

This is more than an earworm. It's become a full-on musical symbiote.

[MattCruikshank]

I hope that after Coronavirus that these folks start a Kickstarter to all meet up and record some songs. I love the idea that they've created something so beautiful together, without even knowing each other. But I'd love to see them get a chance to meet and laugh and hug. I'm not crying, you're crying.

[lupo]

Imagine living in the pirate era and having a crew mate that can play the violin and starts to play this and everyone instantly sings along
