This Friday we are having a big office party down at Gab Gab Beach here on Guam. One of the games we plan is a tug of war match. I got to thinking it was of little use being a shnty singer if I don't put it to practical use.

The secret to tug of war is to use a series of pulls instead of one long pull. That puts the other team at a disadvantage and they cannot keep their feet. The pulls have to be fairly rapid so a slow shanty will not work. I was thinking of South Australia or Away Rio sung fast.

Any suggestions?
