Peter, There's sea shanties and there's sea shanties. The first sort are sung funeral dirge style at the back of a pub next to the overflowing loo by a few bearded blokes with beer bellies. The other sort are performed in front of an audience of thousands of teenagers bopping up and down to the music.
