8
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 2: a twenty six year old social postal worker called a

Speaker 2: Shipping company and this is partly established in Sydney in

26
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,400
Speaker 2: the eighteen thirties. So the song's lyrics are about the

27
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 2: whalers doing all their chores and waiting, waiting for the

28
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 2: Wellerman to come and give them supplies supplies. But it's

29
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:46,039
Speaker 2: interesting about the sea shanty because my son for Ages

30
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 2: has been singing this.

31
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 3: I thought I heard man say.

00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: Leave her joy live.

33
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 2: So that's been featured in Assassin's Creek.

34
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 3: In a game my youngest he plays yeah, yes, yeah.

35
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 2: And now because of the popularity of all these by

36
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 2: the way, that guy Nathan Evans who were singing the

37
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 2: well Aman song, he has now got nearly a million

38
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 2: followers on TikTok talk and has been signed by Polydor.

39
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:15,799
Speaker 3: Who would have thought that Sea shanties had come back?

40
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: Who would have thought?

41
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,239
Speaker 2: But then I've seen all this other stuff on social media.

42
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 2: I've seen this great song by the Pogues and the

43
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 2: Irish Drovers singing. Remember this one we sang at school.

44
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 2: He a hold away, I'm South.

45
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 3: Shane McGown was so good three teeth at his head.

46
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 2: And the reason that sea shanties were popular on these

47
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 2: ships in the eighteenth century. They were designed to create

48
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,399
Speaker 2: a sense of community during long months spent at sea.

49
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 2: So the rhythm of the songs helped with group tasks.

50
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 2: So whether the sailors needed to push your paul or whatever,

51
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 2: for example lifting cargo via rope for them all to

52
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 2: find the rhythm at the same time, you'd have a

53
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 2: sea shanty.

54
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 3: That's when the tonguing gets done. Look, it doesn't have

55
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:02,040
Speaker 3: to be sure.

56
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 2: Just one of the lyrics. Let it go.

57
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 3: That's another lyric, you know my favorite one?

58
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 2: What's that is?

59
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 3: This one?

60
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: Here in jeans and shifts exactly.

61
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 2: It was a theme to old Sydney Town.

62
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:19,120
