I was enjoying the YouTube item till that guy started singing.

Re the Exxon Valdiz. It was established long ago that the crew's problem was lack of sleep, not drink. What with the dangerous record of bulk carrier ships and the loneliness of life on board, they can't seem to find enough men to man them, so they overwork those that they do find.

Yes, it's a very common reel, but I don't know remember the name of any reels! Anyway, the Irish Rovers (famous rendition) use the same reel, and I image at this point their rendition is being "covered".

WHAT DO YOU DO WITH THE BICKERING BOY SCOUT? -------------------------------------------- (to the tune of drunken sailor)

Tie him to a tree with a good square lashing

Drag him thru the poison ivy

Put him in a Life Boat until he's older

You could, like, bum a few smokes off him, eh? You could maybe bum a few drinks off him too. We don't get a lot of real sailors in Blind River, but we got fishermen. Fishing is cool cos you get to sit in a boat all day and drink, and your old lady can't bug you. That's if you got an old lady. Me, I'm single cos it wouldn't be fair to the babes in thsi town if I was to marry, and besides, I'm holdin' out for Shania Twain or somebody like that, eh? Although I ain't no perfectionist, but, like, why settle for a skank, eh?

Related song, learned long ago when I used to climb mountains:

WHAT SHALL WE DO WITH THE DRUNKEN CLIMBER?

What shall we do with the drunken climber? (3X) Ear-Lye in the mornin'

Wrap his crampons in his air mattress (3X) Ear-Lye etc.

Feed him prunes on a five-day backpack (3X) Ear-Lye etc.

Give him slack when he asks for tension (3X) Ear-Lye etc.

And I think there are more.
