Sea Shanties have been all the rage lately, and even if they’ve died down in the way that so much of internet culture quickly does, I still love them. Thus, I wrote an anime sea shanty, and I hope you enjoy it. 🙂
I’ve been known to do things like this before, what with my “To Ship or Not to Ship” parody from Hamlet and my shipping version of “My Favorite Things” from Mary Poppins. This time, I’m on trend!
Well, like I said, maybe not anymore, but I love me a good “Wellerman” sea shanty. 🙂
There shall be a season (soon to be) With shows that will work for you and me The offered there be all quite rare Shows, my friendos, shows Soon may an anime come That we can all agree upon One day, when the airing is done We'll all review and go The fighting scenes will be at fore And not one ship will prove a bore Comedy, romance, action, more For this our faith we’ll stow Soon may an anime come That we can all agree upon One day, when the airing is done We'll all review and go Before the show could be on offer Licensors would need some fodder Support creators, copyright coffers Will we see the show? Soon may an anime come That we can all agree upon One day, when the airing is done We'll all review and go No dub was cast, no platform held The hopes of the weebs were o’erselled We licked our wounds and then we yelled This season really blows Soon may an anime come That we can all agree upon One day, when the airing is done We'll all review and go Arguments like e’er seen before (ooh) O’re single seasons and two-cour Broke out amongst the weebs once more And still no license, no Soon may an anime come That we can all agree upon One day, when the airing is done We'll all review and go As far as I know, we’re waiting still We’ll get that show, oh yes, we will The licensors make a newer call Responding to the will of their fans, et al. Soon may an anime come That we can all agree upon One day, when the airing is done We'll all review and go Soon may an anime come That we can all agree upon One day, when the airing is done We'll all review and go
The background music came from ZEDWON GUITAR who posted a karaoke track on YouTube. ✨🏴☠️✨⚓✨🔱
Until next time, go sing some sea shanties! No, I’m kidding. Well, I’m not kidding, but I meant to say…
…stay home when you can, wear a mask when you can’t, wash your hands, and stay safe!
