Chumbawamba - Tub thumping. I had no idea they’ve always been an anarchist sea shanty band and that song was the outlier and a total piss take. I am here for it.
LOL!
Came to this comment section to say exactly that, just to discover it to be already the first comment!
But it's kinda the reverse thing OP had in mind, I think...
Sea shanties‽ I absolutely love Uneasy Listening and will blast English Rebel Songs, but they're not sea shanties.
yeah, it's called english folk or something
same band that did the song Torturing James Hetfield.
Also, Tubthumper (the album) is entirely amazing. The popular song included
have you tried "The Big Issue"? it's from the same album and is kinda the same thing, except the vocals are far more female-dominated and the song extends the melancholy a bit
That whole album has the same vibe as Tubthumping
in fact the album is called Tubthumper
the follow-up album, WYSIWYG, also has the same vibe
Yeah, they went through a few different sounds and that was their party era.
They did a few songs that have a catchy repetitive chorus to be fair. Mouthful of Shit for example. Just not quite to the extent of Tubthumping.
He drinks a whiskey drink, he drinks a vodka drink
I preferred Mary Mary and it had the same problem. No others like that that I heard.
