Singing chanties with a group of 4th-graders aboard a square-rigger, the education officer told me I couldn't sing any more because I sing "too pretty". Sort of a left-handed compliment, I guess. I was also told that their criteria for kid's chanties were "no bad words (of course!), no drinking, and no splicing Sally Brown." So what's left? Then the first mate requested a favorite, with all unsuitable material removed, and they said no to that as well. The mate said to me, "Sorry, I didn't know the Chantey Police were on board!"
