Looking back on 2020, I think it's hilarious that Wellerman of all shanties is the one that blew up online. It's not a song about life on the high seas or adventuring
It's the "Where the fuck is my delivery" song

If we're talking about sea shanties I feel I have to ask about the Wellerman
Sea shanties certainly are good for CPR! They are very memorable and easy to recite and keep to the beat of, due to their history of being used for repetitive work.
Particularly Wellerman is the most well known of recent times, with all the good aspects of sea shanties, and it's bpm is 96 which is close to optimal. Not completely though, but typically one's own memory expedites the rhythm of recalled songs.
9/10

Soon may the Wellerman come
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
Why is nobody pointing out the fact that the song playing in the background of Charles fighting the Night Nurse in episode 4 is literally a slower version of Wellerman ? THE fisherman song. For a scene including a big ass sea monster.
Considering the song is coming from the music box that’s actually a part of a deep diving suit, it makes sense, but
It could have been any other song.
But no.
They chose this one.
I find it so thoughtful and once again, it demonstrates how detailed the writers have made this show.
GOD FOR GIVE ME FOR WHAT I FOUND XD
This now lives rent free in my head
