I love this!

So let's see... a song that lists off all the punishment the poor "drunken sailor" is getting inflicted on him is glorifying alcoholism, and "put 'im to bed with the captain's daughter" (as I remember, basically saying "beat him unconscious with the bloody great stick or whip the captain uses to administer discipline") is lascivious... Gee, glad they didn't get ahold of "make him kiss the gunner's daughter" (oft interpreted as pressing the gent's face to the barrel of the cannon as it is fired). We'd probably have a case for pedophilia on our hands.

Keeeee-rist.
