I used to go sailing in a wayfarer ect but never had the chance to sail a ship. loved sailing love the ocean took my dogs with me a few times they loved it too I liked to jump off boat into the ocean and swim brilliant that got your heart pumping but only if you had someone in boat with you ahhhhhhhhh the good auld happy days ☠👍✌
When I was like 15-16 I went to a renaissance fair and saw them. I got a signed cd and told my friends about them. Now the jolly Rogers are kinda a thing in my small hick town. Me and my friends are in our 30s now. You can call me the butterfly, I had an effect.
Sometimes you just got to believe long enough to enjoy the song. Heard tales of Pecos Bill and Paul Bunyan all my life, give these the same willing suspension of disbelief , and they do what they were meant to do. Entertain !!
I switched YT accounts recently and can't believe among all the Shanties I'd lost from my playlist that this one took me so long to get back. On the other hand, it's like finding it for the first time again so I can't complain.
My favorite part about this song is how the green sailor who was throw overboard had somehow aperently grown his hair out, got a nose piercing, tons of tattoos, and many rings. And instead of the crew going "i do t think this is the same guy" they just go "eh close enough"
They stranded him on Hispaniola - that's a populated area, not an empty place. It's perfectly plausible it's the same person! (I don't know if there's an history of voodoo in the area, but then voodoo can't do anything this bokor does, so.)
Thank you a lot guys, you're the best. Your songs are always on, no matter what I do - sleep, drink, work etc. Thank you again, and i hope one day i would be able to hear you in person!!!
Used to listen to this album back in late 2020. This song inspired a character I designed. It inspired the story and everything. Today, I finally have all the basics. I will start to make the story a reality soon. I love you guys!
Both, actually! We write most of what we do but we have some traditional or cover songs that we do. The physical release of this album included a second disc (available online as it's own album called "Shantytime") that was nothing but traditional shanties. Those songs will be coming in this playlist soon!
My mates and I are all from an alpine area, though I've never cared much for the ocean we have a bit where we are a crew. In turn we play these shanties as were hanging out together. Keep it up!
I'm going on a boy scout trip where we're sleeping on the USS SLATER. I've been learning a bunch of songs to sing while camping on the ship but this is by far my favorite
Easily one of the best songs you guys released. At least it got the most (I think) views on UA-cam music. On another note, do you guys paid for the views from the automatic UA-cam music vid?
This song has one of the best storytelling I've heard, and I need to write down my reasoning: The protagonist starts as a nobody, a complete newbie to the kingdom of the seas. Then, a sudden event forces him to fight (metaphorically) and emerges not only victorious, but as a new and stronger man. From here on, our Voodoo Man earns the trust of his fellow crewmembers and becomes a respected member of the ship. Finally, he becomes rich, but stays true to himself and does not leave his ship and friends. All of this from a tiny acorn... the journey is truly wonderful and inspirational. What do you think? 😃
i’ve only recently discovered my love for sea shanties, and this is already one of my favorites! one day, i aspire to take a boat of my own out to sea. probably not as a pirate, though thank you for this song!
Unfortunately, we've never released our albums as instrumental-only. The closest we ever came to that was on our X Marks The Spot album (you can find the playlist here on our channel) we released a song called South 'Round The Horn, and also included an instrumental version as well. The song: ua-cam.com/video/o0pxFotKJbs/v-deo.html The instrumental: ua-cam.com/video/pst4kR75v0k/v-deo.html
Nope, not a re-upload. This song's been on UA-cam Music for a while, but this is the first time we've uploaded it here to our channel - and our version has lyrics!
They dont understand whats going on but they support his weirdness and abilities and accept him as a valued part of the crew. That makes autistic me happy
Hi Sidetrack! No, this was our first time uploading this song directly to our channel. However, you are correct that it had been previously available, but as a separate video that was auto-generated on UA-cam music by our distributor.
I love how they're going "I have absolutely no idea what you're doing but we trust you."
That’s how we should all look at God! He has a plan for alI! REPENT AND LOVE ✝️
@@uncle9215a-are we supposed to repent from piracy? 😆
You better or else the voodoo man will make sure you regret it.
@@cartercoffman1021 sounds like something dhar mann would say
@sergeantrose they "they made fun of their crew mates religion untill he did this!!!"
Hearing a cast away say “I’m your new Bokor!” after you thought he was dead is pretty unnerving
Whole heartedly disagree, if he survived being cast away then he's spirit-touched
😊oqrq@@dawildbear
One of the first of your songs I heard, and one that definitely stuck with me. Used to sing this walking the decks of my own ships.
What kind of ships were you on, James?
@@TheJollyRogers Cruise ships. Kind of like piracy, in a way, but our victims... err, guests usually left happy.
wooooooooow awesome bless you

the most intelligent internet comment i have ever read.
voodoo man, flying dutchman and your cover of drunken sailor got me through high school
So glad to hear we're helping to educate the young people of America! ;)
It is getting me through

day three, this song has been stuck in my head when I wake up every time, I think this is my life now
The gift that keeps on giving! 😉
@@TheJollyRogers When I think "the gift that keeps on giving" and "pirates", music is not the first thing that comes to mind 👏👏
Damn, youtube just randomly recommended this to me and I will absolutely be listening to this again and checking out your other songs.
Welcome, Waluigi Time! Happy to have you with us!
It's frickin' Waluigi Time!

My new dnd character is inspired by the Voodoo Man. Thanks for the inspiration!

My most fav from Jolly Rogers.

I found this through my uncle, this is a great song, hats off to you guys!
Thanks for listening, and thanks to your uncle!!!
Every ship needs a voodoo man like that!
I love these guys

Always a good time when the Jolly Rogers comes on
One of my all time favorites from you guys! As always absolutely great and I finally know the actual lyrics lol
Coming up with your own can be entertaining, too! 😉
Well obviously my next D&D character is gonna be voodoo man druid.
I recommend using shaman instead of druid, though I don't know if that class is still around in 5E
@@hernehaugen6878 it isn't, sadly
@@dabestorkposta Sad days.
@@hernehaugen6878 could probably tweak druid
@@dabestorkposta Oh absolutely but I still feel sad about it.
Finally UA-cam recommended something good!
So do you guys write your own songs or are these actual shanties you found?

Wonderful.

That's amazing! Are you getting to bunk where the crew used to, or literally camping on deck?
@@TheJollyRogers we're getting to bunk where the sailors actually slept

Yep, we get a little bit in royalties from each view. Those are set up with UA-cam through our distributor.
This song has one of the best storytelling I've heard, and I need to write down my reasoning:

I agree with you. In addition, it's not merely a fight, but an almost-death experience before the arrival of a new man.
Now I want to get a ship and sail for ever
Thanks ⛵️
i’ve only recently discovered my love for sea shanties, and this is already one of my favorites! one day, i aspire to take a boat of my own out to sea. probably not as a pirate, though

Hey just letting you guys know this track has a lot of buzzing on spotify. I am operating on the notion that it's your official spotify.
Hmmm - thanks for the heads-up! We'll check it out.
@@TheJollyRogers thanks you might need headphones and turn the volume up
Is this a reupload? Still a great song
Nope, not a re-upload. This song's been on UA-cam Music for a while, but this is the first time we've uploaded it here to our channel - and our version has lyrics!

This song is: when the quiet kid finally starts talking.
Bless it be the UA-cam Algorithm

NICE
Pretty decent song, not my particular taste but it proves that The Jolly Roger cannot physically make a bad song. It's great song but not my taste.
Thank heaven's we've got a lot more!
