Opinions that would have gotten me keelhauled in 2021 - I think the Wellerman is only a mid tier shanty and I don’t understand why that’s the one that blew up on tiktok

Personally I think “High Barbary” has more spirit and camp and “Johnny I Hardly knew Ya” is a shanty adjacent folk song of all time forever and “Roll the Old Chariot” makes me want to start gnawing wood and “Spanish ladies” had its moment in Jaws but it’s a classic and if they wanted silly silly “Sailing over the Dogger Bank” was in SpongeBob and is just fun
