- We recently shot an incredibly fun music video for our song, Hoist Up The Thing, where we built a ship out of cardboard boxes and other assorted nonsense. If you've been wondering how we did it... you've come to the right place!

So...this song was just an excuse to have a water ballon fight as grown adults
One thing lead to another... and that's where we ended up
Ah yes, I remember reading about this in history class
It's quite a rip roaring tale of adventure and shenanigans
Dave is probably the only person I have ever heard play the recorder well.
It can be done!
I _adore_ the intro section. You've perfectly captured the "1930's-1950's short film about This Common Thing In Your Life", right down to the comedy footage in the middle with the narrator making a pun!
First time I saw it, made me laugh out loud several times
I have watched youtube for 15 years and never made a single comment. I'm spending this first ever comment to tell you how much I have enjoyed listening to The Longest Johns! You all have so much energy and fun in your songs, and I love your originals! Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much, that's really kind of you!
I like to picture the bloopers segment of this video as just the day-to-day of just how bad the captain was doing. Like picturing the 5 or so takes of him opening the map as just the captain in the song failing at simple stuff.
(I also loved the way the ship was destroyed pretty much just messing around with little directing for that part great!)
Okay, hold on: You had your director count to three to tell you when to haul on rhe ropes? Shouldn't you have maybe *sung a shanty* to keep in time?
i just love the fact there was no production crew involved for the most part and its just you guys being grown up kids
whoever synced up the hits to the can can is a genius
Love the "3, 2, 1, HEAVE!" with the ropes. Y'know, I heard that sailors used to sing songs to make sure they were all hauling in time together. Now, what were they called? I think it rhymed with blea blanties.... You've probably never heard of them, though
I was wondering exactly the same thing :-)
For its look down me lads, and get ready to pail
For the folding ship the dutchman goes a sinking with the whale
She was a fine vessel
That's got to be the best pirate I've ever seen.
So it would seem...
"And of course, the stately quacken" is my favourite thing i've heard in weeks
I laughed FAR too hard at "the new scent by The Longest Johns- b i l g e.". I'd buy it
This basically confirms it was a ton of fun to film lol. And what better excuse to have a massive water fight?
So when're you dropping the new perfume fellas?
You want Bilge?
@@thelongestjohns The advert was pretty convincing, yeah...
I mean, I don't want to smell like *actual* Bilge, so maybe work on the name/scent combo...
but who wouldn't want to smell like a sailor? I mean ... after five weeks at sea Dave smells like a catch!
The mayhem towards the end would work so well with Mutiny playing over it. I hope that song gets a video in a similar style at some point!
"Men working up to an hour and a half at a time."
It's unironically great to know a professional singing group runs on my kind of work ethic.
Love you guys! Sing a shanty every day.
Words to live by :)
@@thelongestjohns I mean my friends are about tired of it cuz I can't stop buuuuut....
@@thelongestjohns I've always wondered, who writes these comments. Or is it any one of the johns
So well done everyone. Brilliantly magnificently adequate in every way. So glad we'd kept the old airzookas & they still worked!!
They were a wonderful addition
I don't know about you guys, but I'm fascinated with all the props. Like, the sextant and those cannons? (Seriously how did you make those cannons those are wild) And the flintlock pistol design you used for the water guns was just- *chef's kiss*
I love how you guys are just recording yourself while messing around, and an amazing video is just a coincidence
Ha, you'd be surprised how much of it wasn't coincidence! Lots goes into making something like this
Love this behind the scenes look. This is my favourite video and my 4 year old sons favourite song ever. He particularly likes shouting "that's not port" whenever the mood strikes him.
An exciting behind the scenes look at a bold pirate mutiny and tragic loss of the good ship Folding Dutchman
May the folding Dutchman rest in piece
Woow, what a lovely ship! I want to join this crew! There are shanties, handsome sailors, naval battles, cute squid and sherry which isn't actually a sherry. What else do I need? :D
The perfect plan!
1:20 Dave's always got his sticks, huh?
I'm sure Dave was disappointed that wasn't sherry
You guys are my favorite band. thank you for the songs and the memories singing with my friends. keep up the amazing work
It's our pleasure, thanks for your support :)
No wonder it took so long for this to be made, they were working on Bilge
Yo, JD's voice makes everything sound better
So does Robbie's, oo-er!
I get out of my first class of the school year and I see this video in my notifications? Made my day 1000x better! I didn't realize that one could take that many water balloons directly to the face without getting a bruise lmao
That's wonderful to hear! And they have had some bruises the following day... only little ones though
I just found your music last week, and you guys are amazing, I'm a musician from Wyoming, I play clarinet and Native American Flute. Your music has really been helping me get through sort of a rough mental health patch lately, so thank you for all you do, keep up the great work
That's lovely to hear and I'm really glad we were able to help in any way. Many blessings to you
Tis a damn tough life full of toil and strife, made better from shanty men undergo!
Huzzah!
this looks like you guys just had TONS of fun filming this, and it's so obvious in the final product!! love that!
No Longest John was seriously injured during the making of this video. Brilliantly Adequate as usual. 👏👏👏👏🤣🤣🤣
"seriously" injured... Robbie may have reported a hint of a black eye the following day
Who was the crew for the filming? Seemed like everyone was doing a great job
It was just us and Abbie (JD's wife)
Man this is some quality editing 👏👏 had a blast watching this
The video looked like you had so much fun and this just confirms it!
Absolutely! One of the stranger things we've done, but it was so much fun
I think you guys need to make a perfume deal for your "add"
Beautiful! Love that you're just having a load of fun with this!
It's got to be done, and happy that you can share in that fun
Now that looks like fun! I hope no instruments or people where harmed in the making...
This one and the last bristolian pirate are my faves!
Every child’s dream game right here
that looked like a whole lotta fun
It was so much chaos that worked so well!
As a former sailor, I can confirm this is what officers are.
You guys are awesome, all of you, even the camera crew, I appreciate all of your effort.
They are their own camera crew along with JD's wife. They make their own videos.
Looks like great fun! Always love when JD sneaks the little spongebob tune in
Spongebob is always waiting
best dream job ever being a kid as an adult
Oh my GOODNESS the end had me laughing so hard. You guys have WAY too much fun!!!
Love to watch how much fun you have together and how all of you enjoy not only singing shanties but also making all that videos and clips. Big hugs, miss you all 😘
Thanks so much! Love and hugs right back to you!
I had so much fun watching this video. It is all genius!
Davy Kraken? Really? (Love it!)
The knockoff Pirates of the Caribbean music was perfect!
At 8:23? Yeah, I wonder where they got that from
This looks amazing, and the song is brilliant! It looks like you had a wonderful time shooting this video.
It was a blast to make and super happy with how it came out
Hilarious! Brilliant! Pure silliness and so much fun. 😁. Say...is that an Albert Alfonso bodhran?
I just found you guys like 3 days ago so this video is welcomed
That's wonderful to hear! Welcome :)
@@thelongestjohns thanks
Amazing, I love the shouted promts and stage directions.
I was so sad to see the ship being destroyed at the end.
If you kept the helm you could use it for your physical spinning wheel.
Some of the components are still knocking around. I know the anchor and kwaken are living in the studio. Can't remember about the wheel
The insanely loud premiere music is worth the shenanigans that'll unfold here! Hype!
Always :)
Absolutely amazed by the production quality of these videos! Keep up the amazing work!!!
omg that brief moment of Andy smiling was so precious
it's bloody mutiny, sir!
maybe your most fun music video yet. Always love seeing behind the scenes!
*The girl's cardboard ship:* oh my god, Adam totally looks like Jack! We need to get him over here so we can perfectly re-create that scene!
*The boy's cardboard ship:*
To be fair, there was once a serious plan to build a ship out of ice, so cardboard isn't that much of a stretch.
*BILGE*
XD AYE ye got me, lads.
I've been looking forward to my Duke of Edinburgh expeditions. Me and some friends are trying to learn it
Sounds like a great plan! Good luck on the expeditions
Keep making great music!
We'll do our best! Thanks for the support
Bloody hell, Bilge really tickled me out of nowhere
I found one of your song and I just love your music and this is my favorite song
That's great to hear! Glad you like it
too much fun!
I honestly wanna see them go to some Indian graveyard for Halloween and just sing to the spirits ^^
that looks like it was so much fun
nice.
Thanks
Incredibly funny!
You guys are the coolest
Many thanks :)
thats got to be the best pirate ive ever seen
Haha. Bloody brilliant!
Many many thanks!
3:35 It's actually a port
You guys should do vlogs more often
So this is what happens when you ask the Longest Johns to “think out of the 📦 box” 🤔😜😄🤣
I would love some bilge perfume
Dude I wish there were fields by me ☹
"That was Spongebob I played." 0w0
Nobody:
TLJ: Bilge, Fragrence by Paco Rabanne.
This is hilarious hopefully Robbie and Dave weren't hit too hard with the water balloons
& ice cubes😬🤣
Hard? yes. Often? yes... But they're fiiiiiine
I Mean....She Is A Fine Ship.
*was a fine ship :P
Ah Yes...I Forgot About That Part With The Treason And The Water.....And That Ice Too.
Now I really want the perfume Bilge..
Mmmm, smells like B I L G E
My history teacher lied to me
Just found you. Just a bunch of tall boys playing in the back yard. What are your names. I’ve figured out Andy, but???
Dave Robbie & JD
came from sea of thieves video, stayed for the music
my question is how did you make the smoke
Favourite pirate tv shows/movies?
Muppet Treasure Island right?
Well obviously
No idea what’s going on but nice
Behind the scenes of our recent video
The Longest Johns oh! Thank you, can’t wait to watch it :)
😂😂😂😂
WHO THE HECK DISLIKED
Probably someone from down under thinking he was doing a thumbs up 🤔🤪🤣
: )
this looked like less work and more play. lol
How bored were you guys to create a boat for a video?
