I prefer capstan shanties like "Away Riio" because heaving equals pushing.

The spoonerised version of Elvis' "Suspicious Minds"

... "We're taut in a crap"!

Or, it wouldn't take much of a re-write to make F.R.David's "Words don't come easy" into another constipation song!

This thread is a response to all the "best of .." threads. One person's best song might be different from the next person.

But they never stop, do they?

What's the world's best love song?
Who's the world's best singer?

The shit never stops. So I was inspired to start this thread.

John Leyden's Lord Soulis.

67 verses, I think. If that's not enough you'll need to think about blasting to shift it.

"He'll Have To Go."

"It's Impossible."

Charley,Bert-don't encourage me! That's not a song by the way!

"Cold Turkey" .... by John Lennon

ok .. ok ... I know what the initial reaction is ... but listen to me, if you play it on an acoustic guitar it becomes a folk song, and a fine folk song it is to take a dump to.
