Maybe it’s just that shanties got big again here recently with the whole tiktok boom but I just realized the start of “(I Hate) Everything About You” has the perfect meter and tempo for a rowing song and I don’t know what to do with this information
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0x8KUHCDFI Like tell me this couldn’t be looped with a “set feet, row” chant. Angry angsty privateer times I guess
Whum chakka um chakka chumchakka whum! Guosim dig yore paddle deep, Hurly-burly river wide'n'curly, There's no time to sleep. Whum chakka um chakka chumchakka whum! Rapid wild and fast do go, Hurly-burly river wide'n'curly, Bend yore backs an' row. Whum chakka um chakka chumchakka whum! Keep her bows up in the foam, Hurly-burly river wide'n'curly, Logboat take us home. Whum chakka um chakka chumchakka... -Log-a-Log and the Guosim shrews, Marlfox
Hey ho ahoy we go. Row, me hearties. Row row row! Chucklin’ bubblin’ life’s a dream, I’m the brook that finds the stream. Hey ho ahoy we go. Row, me hearties. Row row row!
Sun an’ shade an’ fish aquiver, This ole stream flows to the river. Hey ho ahoy we go. Row, me hearties. Row row row!
Down mates down an’ foller me, I’m the river bound to the sea. hey ho ahoy we go. Row, me hearties. Row row row!
-Ruffgar Brookback, Lord Brocktree
You stay aft mate, I’ll stay fore, Mind the rocks an’ watch the shore, Like good shipmates you an’ me, Roll down t’meet the sea! Fast as fast as you can wish, Through the waters like a fish, Our ole craft do wend its way, On this bright summer’s day! Wid spray in yore face, An’ a crackin’ pace, An’ a runnin’ stream afore, If y’never lack a wind at y’back, Then who could ask for more! Ooooooh rum a doodle aye doh Go where I go Rum a doodle aye doh follow me!
-Log a Log Furmo, The Legend of Luke
Guosim! Guosim! Sail ‘im, dip ’im, douse ’im. If’n you see a shrew in river or stream, Who can jump like a trout an’ swim like a dream, Fight like a pike an’ sing like a lark, An’ paddle a boat from dawn ’til dark … Yer lookin’ at a Guosim! O Guosim! Guosim! Sail ’im, dip ’im, douse ’im. If’n you see a shrew who c’n cook up a stew, Brew dark beer an’ bake bread too, An’ bend ’is back an’ pull an oar, Row all the day an’ shout fer more… Yer lookin’ at a Guosim! O Guosim! Guosim! Sail ’im, dip ’im, douse ’im. Not an otter or a waterdog, No nor a spiky ole ’edge’og, Even a warty toad or frog, So it’s three cheers for our Log a Loooooooooog! We’re Guosim Guosim Guosim!
-Curlo, Pearls of Lutra
Shrum a too rye hey, shrum a too rye hey, Dig those paddles deep today, Where the alders shade me overhead, And trout swim on the broadstream bed. I’m a Guosim to the water wed, Shrum a too rye hey, shrum a too rye hey, I’ll see you one day to make, O’er any stream or pond or lake, A good ole logboat’s ripplin’ wake, Shrum a too rye hey, shrum a too rye hey, shrum shrummmmmm.
-Guosim Rowing Song, The Outcast of Redwall
From lake to the river and down to the sea, Paddling, paddling, onward go we. The sun on the water does shine merrily As away go the logboats like birds wild and free. So paddle, my brother, I’ll sit next to you, A fine handsome creature, a bold Guosssom shrew. High sky and deep water are both colored blue. Our boats like our friends are all solid and true.
-Guossom Boatsong, Salamandastron
