The Wellerman (Sea Shanty)【covered by Anna】 [female ver.]

- Hello everyone! This week I sang The Wellerman (the sea shanty) by The Longest Johns and like 800 other people!
Ask and you shall receive.
I know I say this all the time but I think I really mean it when I say this is the hardest I’ve worked on a cover ever. Every noise and BG vocal was made completely from scratch, either by the BG vocalists, me, my brother or Jeysun (and his uncle). I did not know true fear until I was pouring water from glass to glass in front of my microphone and laptop.
The BG vocals alone played such a huge part in this cover and I’d like to take a moment to thank everyone who said yes to my pleading! I’m so sad that I didn’t get to use all the adlibs and alternate speaking parts everyone recorded because they had me in complete stitches. The cover would be nothing without your drunken singing, so truly, thank you!
And finally, a huge, massive thank you to Jeysun for going absolutely above and beyond with this instrumental. I am so over the moon with how everything turned out and I’m so sorry that you broke your mug while recording the foley (also that you bit into an onion not only once, but twice but I refuse to take any blame or involvement in that choice). You’re a real pal, thank you so much!
As always, thank you for your continued support! It really does mean the world to me. Hope you all have a fantastic evening and I’ll see you next Saturday.
♥

This is so good OML- I’ve been listening to it on repeat
"gobbling up those butt cheeks"
- anna's brother, 2021
Hilarious
I hereby declare that we must stan him.
And the laugh lmao.
Hi I’m 400 like 🙃
1:34
God himself
THE WELLERMAN HAS COME!!!
TO BRING US SUGAR AND TEA AND RUM.
ONE DAY WHEN THE TONGUING IS DONE
WE’LL TAKE OUR LEAVE AND GO
Before the boat had hit the water, the whale's tail came up and caught her
ALL HANDS TO THE SIDE,HARPOONED AND FOUGHT HER WHEN SHE DIVED DOWN LOW
She has the voice of a Disney Princess.
Yes, this is my way of giving someone a compliment.
lol
A pirate Disney princess
This is a wonderful compliment bro
No, no, Disney princesses suck, she has the voice of a goddess
This is MY way of giving compliments
@@PrimordialRoseberryBush That's true though.
"gobbling up these B U T T C H E E K S "
Ahh yes, the most artistic work of all I've seen, beautiful work annas brother
The way he said it, he basically made a "clean" Deez Nuts joke 🤣
Capt.Gordon Lighthouse:"1:35"
Can we all just appreciate Anna's brother for a moment.
"Gobbling up these buttcheeks"
XD
Now that's a true Pirate!!!
when lmao-?
Truly a masterpiece for generations to come xD
I love that line
"Goblin up these buttcheeks! -Anna's brother 2021"
And
"*Anna Belches* THAT WAS A GOOD ONE!"
Made me laugh cause all I could think was *like sister like brother* 😂😅😆😂
The fact that she did her loudest burp only for make is caracter more rp whith the cover prove How invest she is in her job
WTF🤣🤣😅ok the pirate HA
When you listen to the lyrics, you find the song is about a whaling vessel whose captain has sighted a HUGE whale and harpooned it... but has no feasible way to haul it up and kill it because his ship is too small to haul it in close for a shipside kill and he lost his boats in the first attempt at a boating kill.
But out of stubborn pride, he refuses to cut the whale loose because not only would it by a huge amount of money, bringing down a whale that big would be a huge feather in his cap.
Meanwhile, the whale is just dragging the ship randomly around the ocean because he won't cut it loose and can't haul it in (if he tried, he would be hauling his ship under the water after the whale) because it's too small, and his crew are getting angry, hoping the Wellerman (slang term for a resupply vessel from the Weller whale oil company) comes and finds them to bring them their bonus pay (sugar tea and rum) and fresh supplies before they starve. All they can do is that and pray either the captain comes to his damned senses or the whale never decides to take a deep dive and drag the whole ship under... since they have no boats there would be no abandoning ship, they would all just drown.
They've also decided that, should they actually get the damn whale in the end, once the tonguing (cutting the meat into strips and packing it up to deliver for whale oil processing) is done and they've put to port to drop off their kill, screw this prideful idiot, they quit, he can find another crew whose lives he can risk over vanity.
Ohhhhh
@@anony_mouse4168 Dove far enough below the surface the harpoons couldn't reach it. That's 'diving low'. Diving DEEP would drag the ship under if the whale's big enough to drag the ship, 'take it in tow' as it's worded here.
@@anony_mouse4168 Or it did come, but the captain is still refusing to cut the f**king whale loose and has spent decades being dragged around the sea by the whale in a mariner legend very similar to the Flying Dutchman.
Either interpretation works, honestly. A whale dragging around a ghost ship of dead whalers is as good a tale as any.
There's also a bit of Flying Dutchman at the end
I was going to read all of this but I clicked read more and all I can see is W H I T E
What I love about The Wellerman is that everyone has a slightly different version. Whether it's the way the words are sung or the music in the background, it's all unique and it always sounds amazing.
That's a sea shanty for ya. Always love how the same song can be sung so many different times with different energies yet still be the same song at heart
I love how in the end of the song everyone shouts with such ENERGY and there’s that one guy who’s like “eeehhhhhh” like he’s completely done with everything and everyone
LMFAO
XD
Alao knowb as "The Schools 1 hour play" -
Mentally I'm that guy lmao
There’s always that one guy.
This is such an unironically good song
Kind of overused though.
@@neptunicdolphin2340 I mean if people like it then I don’t see any reason not to use it a lot
@@coraz6825 It's so overplayed on tiktok and whatnot though, then again I do suppose tiktok is kind of a cursed platform as is, so meh.
To be fair, alot of meme-d songs are unironically good
oh hello, did not expect to find a comment from you, somehow
The way she sings sounds like she's telling a story, and I'm VERY invested
Okay but you can agree that her voice would be ABSOLUTELY PERFECT for a Disney princess!!
Pirate Disney Princess when?
@@AliasEnigmatic we need that!!!
Alright I don’t know if this is just me but I appreciate the background noise so much? Like I love how you can hear muttering and glasses clinking and laughter and happy drunk pirates? The song feels so alive and truly feels like something from real life
Agreed! This is so good!
Right!? I'm subbing to her RIGHT NOW!!
Agree
Yeah its true i hear that song so often and think i where in the middle of the pirate crew
I know right
Imagining Anna singing this in a tavern to rowdy sailors listening aptly, banging the tables and cheering
Yes
YES
Animatic time-
I'd support that-
Thats a sight to see
1st time listening to this song: this is kinda cool!
2nd time listening: why am I singing a sea shanty?
3rd time listening: this is kinda catchy!
479th time listening: I’m a f*cking pirate!
Doesn't it happen to everyone?
Literally me.
Flip 2 and 3 and it's spot on!
197479107010735831077531th time listening to this song: right! I'm leaving * packs stuff to be a pirate and leaves*
No, yer a whaler, now quit yer daydreamin’ an’ get ta strippin’ the blubber from the carcass ‘fore it blows its putrid guts all ovah us!
This sounds like it could be the opening song to a musical, with Anna hyping up the bar, telling stories of her crew.
WHOOO! Thanks for having me on. This was a delight
Hello my fav teifling bard
The Avatar of Sea Shanties (Cami) just passing through.
Ah hello teilfling bard. How are you adventures?
I've actually listened to your cover of this many many times, it's so good.🥰
You've sung with the most popular singers on UA-cam. All you need is to do a song with Jt Music and you've done it all cami!
"I GOT A JAR OF DIRT!!!!, I GOT A JAR OF DIRT!!!!, I GOT A JAR OF DIRT!!!!, AND GUESS WHAT'S INSIDE IT?!?!"
"Yes, but why is the rum gone?"

*why is the rum gone

OK HEAR ME OUT!
I CAN HEAR CAPTAIN BEIDOU SINGING!! AHHHH
YESSS BEIDOUUUUU
"Soon May the Wellerman Come", also known as "Wellerman" or "The Wellerman", is a sea ballad from New Zealand first documented in the 1860s. Kiwi Pride Worldwide
Moby-Dick; or, The Whale is an 1851 novel by American writer Herman Melville. The book is the sailor Ishmael's narrative of the obsessive quest of Ahab, captain of the whaling ship Pequod, for revenge against Moby Dick, the giant white sperm whale that on the ship's previous voyage bit off Ahab's leg at the knee. (c) wiki
THIS CAME OUT SO GOOD!
thank you for giving me the opportunity to yell in somebody else's video for a change
It was an honor to have you yell! Thank you again!!
Hey, Jocat. I have had an amazing week and I blame it on you. I was quibbling over getting Hades or not and I almost made my decision, when your video came out and Dusa tipped me over the edge. My backlog may be openly weeping in the arms of my deflated wallet, but my eyes and ears salute you and your video. Good day!
@@annapantsu I love the cover, the instrumental track and the uproarious gutteral voices in the background. You made me smile this evening and I am immensely grateful for that. Now all I needs get me is a headscarf and a big hat. I suppose it wouldn't hurt to find some unattended ship floating around somewhere..
@@johngreen8344 wait there's a jocat hades video?? do you have a link
@@swirlingsun It's from his I Like Girls video. Dusa is entirely too sweet for her own good.
WOW!!! The backing vocals really brought this to life.
Amazingly done, everyone. Beautiful vocals ❤️
I love your videos!
What I love about this version is the distinctive feeling of hope.
There is no such thing as a bad version of "The Wellerman."
I dont know. You’ve never heard me sing it😂
Maybe I’m way too high but I swear this wasn’t just a song, this was an experience
Mood
Nope- this is absolutely an experience
i feel you
Perfect way to describe it
I was dancing and I’m fuckinn sober
Yes the queen is back!! 👑👑💞
Your second comment
My haters throw rocks at me and IT hurts. I hope they don't throw The Rock at me because I like him as an actor. GAGAGAGAGA!!! I am funny!!! I am the funniest UA-camr EVAH! Please agree, dear wky
@@AxxLAfriku Please stop trolling
Wow you’re voice is still amazing and actually even better. I get nostalgic hearing u sing when I was on the bus to school for freshman year or waiting for theater to start. That was like 4 years ago now. I still remember my favorites! Your original hellfire cover and your original friend like me cover! Just fantastic!
0:19 Jesus, INSTANT goosebumps! It went from a sea shanty to a viking war chant
Alright, time to twirl around and pretend I'm in a fancy dress-
I thought I was the only person that did that-
@@Vay-a me t o o
@@Vay-a *I'm spinning in my imaginary fancy dress right now typing this comment*
@@fatd0gg072 *spins with*
Haha! I do that!
This is SO. MUCH. FUN. We simply couldn't help but bop our heads and stomp our feet! 😍 🐋 Amazing!
Reading this comment on an amazing Anna video just made my day! 🥰 Both of you (all of you, I should say) are amazing singers, and I love seeing support like this among artists.
Ok
@@johnpayne5590 it wasn't the fact they missed the joke. It was the fact it was bad one my guy
@@johnpayne5590 social reject
I love it i love wellermans😍🥰♥️
凄く素敵な時間をありがとうございます。
たった2分でしたが時間を忘れるくらい聞き惚れてしまいました。
素晴らしい歌です！
Your solo was so overwhelming, the ending so exciting that now that I should be going to bed, I can't close my eyes!
Anna’s Brother has the best line in the whole video
Sure
Chug?
@@vacantsix1586 "goblin up these buttcheeks" I think
I was looking for this comment 😂
@@itz_jaydenz when?
**DROPS EVERYTHING AGAIN**
**quickly grabs my pirate gear**
Girl you don't have any idea of how much i love thy voice.
What I love that is a whole song sounds like a scene from a pirate movie and their at a bar/boat singing
Petition for a Broadway musical about pirates with classic sea shanties as the soundtrack.
Yeeeeessss!!! Indeed that would be spectacular
Signed
Attested.
That would definitely be fun
Whoever doesn't sign this....
BLASPHEMY
this NEEDS an animation
Anna jumping around the ship with a bottle of alcohol
other pirates listening to her siren-like voice, singing along
@@a_viewer5386 oh...
Sorry...but maybe with a different song. An animatic like that would be so cool ^-^
@@a_viewer5386 you ever seen Game Grumps animation's? Cause context can very easily changed with animation.
I'd love to see how the goblin joke gets interpreted XD
@@a_viewer5386 Y does that matter. Their can still be an animation for it. And as someone else said context can be changed through animation. Like have u ever seen a music video where the video has not much to do with the actual song? Sam Hunt’s take your time is a good example of that. It doesn’t always have to be exactly like what the song is about (and sometimes it makes it better like with the Sam hunt video). Context can be very easily changed and not just through animation. Anna singing hellfire makes it have completely different context with a female singing it.
I absolutely agree! Maybe it can start as a "tale of tales" to cheer up the crew and just be like a story building up to her singing-
0:53 This always gets me. Why is no one talking about the discord noise here. IT GETS ME EVERY TIME.
There once was a ship that put to sea
The name of the ship was the Billy of Tea
The winds blew up, her bow dipped down
Oh blow, my bully boys, blow (huh)
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguing is done
We'll take our leave and go
She'd not been two weeks from shore
When down on her a right whale bore
The captain called all hands and swore
He'd take that whale in tow (huh)
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguing is done
We'll take our leave and go
Da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Before the boat had hit the water
The whale's tail came up and caught her
All hands to the side, harpooned and fought her
When she dived down low (huh)
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguing is done
We'll take our leave and go
No line was cut, no whale was freed
The captain's mind was not of greed
And he belonged to the Whaleman's creed
She took that ship in tow (huh)
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguing is done
We'll take our leave and go
Da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
For forty days or even more
The line went slack then tight once more
All boats were lost, there were only four
But still that whale did go (huh)
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguing is done
We'll take our leave and go
As far as I've heard, the fight's still on
The line's not cut, and the whale's not gone
The Wellerman makes his regular call
To encourage the captain, crew and all (huh)
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguing is done
We'll take our leave and go
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguing is done
We'll take our leave and go
it was bound to happen, and i couldn’t be happier
To the girl singing unenthusiastically in the background at 1:42 you are a mood and I love you! Best part of the song.
1:59 me when I burn my finger lol let me stop 😂😂😂
As someone who was born directly at the ocean and living there for over 20 years I really love this song
Thats so cool :o
Im not the only one who got goosebumps at the end of the song right? Is there anything anna CANT sing?
Me
I doubt it.
In a deep voice 😅
Imagine you’re the younger sister of a sailor. He always used to sing you this song when you were little, and you still remember it. He died at sea when you were only six years old. Twenty years later, you’re at a bar and you start singing the song. The entire bar stops to listen and eventually join in. And little do you know your brother is singing with you.
Edit: I’ve seen a lot of people asking to write stories about this, and you’re all perfectly welcome to!
This
This is beautiful 👏
Oh my god
Beautiful
Then you notice an older pirate wiping something off his cheek, you wonder if he's annoyed, & you go check him out. He says he just got emotional... You raise an eyebrow & he whispers a young pirate used to sing this like a prayer everytime things got really dangerous. You ask for the name... He knows you know, you seem emotional & your voice cracked a bit; he says "he died with this in his lips. He was a brave man" -& you just know he won't say more. He smiles & orders for more rum. You say it's on the house, ask if he's still working with that ship; he says he never abandons old pals & you're now suggesting you can be the most congenial addition to the crew. You see his imperceptible smirk & go get his order. Now you know. That's your calling. Time for his lullaby to become your prayer.
thanks for the animatic idea
Anna I don’t know who’s more obsessed with your version of wellerman, me or my three year old? He asked of it again as soon as it ends. Keep at it girl.
Aww! You have a pirate babu!
Incredible clear and powerful voice! 🤩
No stutter in either vocals or notes, simply great.
Also great artwork!
“Yah, Goblin’ up these Buttcheeks” is probably the best line in this song not gonna lie
this cover feels like it belongs in a pirate musical
I really would love to see that musical especially if Anna was the main character as she is so amazing
Omg I want a pirate musical
Why can I vividly picture this
Now I need a pirate musical now
I remember listening to this on repeat for hours straight 9 months ago, it's so freaking amazing listening to it again
the person at 1:46 that starts falling behind on the “chug, chug, chug” sounds so done with the whole situation and i love them 😭
Thanks so much for having me on this!! I had so much fun recording everything, ESPECIALLY the dumb talking parts!!!

Ok but the crew actually sounded like a merry bunch on an adventure at sea, I’d pay good money to watch this if it was a show😤👌🏾
SAME
The Wellerman was written early* 1800's about indebted workers in New Zealand to the Wellerman company in Sydney - the historical context isn't that exciting unfortunately lol.
this isn't an adventure. They're killing whales for money... yeah when you actually put the lyrics together it isn't so fun it's a bit depressing.
This is so amazing!! I’ve listened to this so many times! My favourite cover so far!! Wowowow!
Your voice is so full of life and the rich tone it has is amazing!

The added voices from your loved ones were so good too though! Really felt like a hearty crew. Thank you so much for this your voice is so infectiously positive and beautiful!

I recently became obsessed with this song and have had it stuck in my head all day. Now my favorite UA-cam singer is singing it.
this is the best cover among any other covers existing, been listening it on loop
This never fails to put a smile on my face! Love it! 💖
Thanks for asking me to record some things for you! I had fun! And I can tell that you’ve had fun too!
Can we take a moment to talk about the GORGEOUS ART?!

"when the tonguing is done we'll take our leave and go"
Fun not so fun fact- tonguing refers to when they strip the blubber out of the whale!
Woah! That's actually really cool!
But why do they do that ?
@@Dio-bv3hx as a ritual of the end of a hunt
@@Dio-bv3hx because they are like hunting whales for selling. If I'm wrong then try Google the wellerman then
It's for the oils in the tongues specifically, as those can fetch quite a price.
This is the best thing that’s happened to humanity this week
look at the youtube channel "The Longest Johns"
Loving your voice!
One of THE best Solo Performances of this song I have EVER heard!
I can 100% picture Pirate Anna on a ship going through the crew as they relax in the port with tankards, or in a pub offshore telling this story like a folktale.
The background noise really sold it.
