Quarantinewhile… As our host long ago predicted, 2021 has become the year of the Sea Shanty, particularly on TikTok where the old-timey songs about sailors and their travels are taking over the platform. #Colbert #Meanwhile #Quarantinewhile

ReplyStephen’s wife lately is truly laughing up a storm in the background and you just laugh harder.
ReplyArr Matey, I’ve been waiting me whole life for sea shanties to be cool.
ReplyI just want to thank Stephen for existing. He makes te world a more tolarable place.
Ty from the Netherlands.
ReplyI’m so happy Sea Shanties are back in trend. I finally dont feel like a weirdo liking them anymore
ReplyAARRR me bucko!
ReplyThe sea captain from Seth Meyers may have to appear as a guest to spite Seth.
ReplyI am now addicted to sea shanties… Damnit
ReplySea Shanties are a thing? Oh the Canadians GOT THIS ONE
ReplyWell, ships may come and ships may go
Just as long as the seas do run
And a sailor lad likewise his dad
He loves his port and rum
Now a lass ashore he do adore
One that is plump and round
But when your money’s all gone it’s the same old song
Get up Jack! John, sit down!
Come along, come along, my jolly brave boys
There’s plenty more grog in the jar.
We’ll plough the briny ocean
With a jolly roving tar.
When Jack’s ashore he’ll make his way
To some old boarding house
He’s welcomed in with rum and gin
Likewise with pork and scouse
And he’ll spend and he’ll spend and he’ll never offend
Until he lies drunk on the ground
Jack then will slip aboard some ship
Bound for India or Japan
For in Asia there, the ladies fair
All love a sailor man
And he’ll go ashore and he won’t scorn
To buy some maid a gown
When Jack is old and weatherbeat
ReplyToo old to sail about
They’ll let him stop in some grog shop
Till eight bells do ring out
Then he’ll raise his hands high and loud he’ll cry
Great God, I’m homeward bound!
I may get tik tok just to hear sea shanties.
ReplyPredicted or encouraged…. You be the judge
ReplyIf Seth Meyers doesn’t bring back the Sea Captain for the Sea Shanties, I’ll be very disappointed.
ReplyLittle request from a British fan – any time you can avoid using the Daily Mail as a reference, that would be great. Love from across the pond.
