Row Me Bully Boys (Sea Shanty) Alan Doyle Cover

[@Sergeant_74]

Thanks to the universe that Colm lives in the time when the technologies allow to record his singing and provide access to a variety of people. Just imagine that even 60-70 years ago he could have sung in his town pub, and only his neighbours had listened to him.

[@ColmRMcGuinness]

Funny aul’ world we live in, right? Cheers for the kind words mate! 🙏

[@FutureMan420Blazer]

Word! What a talent we would have missed. I love technology sometimes hahah

[@이이-n4z8y]

Hahaha, you forgot about the technology to modify his voice. You honestly missed that? Are you deaf? Did you listen to this with brail?

[@cccyanide3034]

@@이이-n4z8y The voices are stacked (to emulate a chorus), not modified.

[@vanceschluter5016]

​@@이이-n4z8y i think its more of a compliment to colm that you think hes using a voice modifier

[@jamesmacgregor6860]

I love to hear Colm cover warcraft's "daughter of the sea" shanty, could just imagine how awesome that would sound

[@jae1567]

YES!

[@kaeldrarhiannon]

Omg yes please, I would LOVE to hear him do that epic shanty!!

[@berchelio9737]

Virgin Zandalari-horde Navy vs Chad Kul Tiran Navy

[@exklite1942]

I fully support the idea!!!

[@danielforsberg1084]

Hell yeah!!

[@impishDullahan]

I don't know what's more blinding: the white sweater on the white background or the brightness of the harmonies?

[@ElineVera]

Wow this is amazing!!! 🤩🤩🤩

[@prophetisaiah08]

I love to see people falling in love with the rich musical tradition of my homeland! Alan Doyle is one of the most prominent musicians from Newfoundland these days, but there's an incredibly deep and wonderful pool of musical talent from us Newfies. I'd love to hear you cover "Saltwater Joys" from Buddy Wassisname and The Other Fellers.

[@angemcauslan2551]

I second Saltwater Joys!

[@SappyDuder]

I third this! I think his voice would be beautiful for it

[@meghancowens8995]

The first best part is the 6 year old in my house giggling and dancing to this! The second best part is the three part harmony at the end! The third jumps in like your best friend at the pub who throw his arms around you and hits the high note while everyone stares with their mouths agape! Wonderfully done!! So fun!

[@thegingergent1337]

You had me at Alan Doyle. I am truly loving everything you've done and eagerly awaiting the next one.

[@tristanmitchell1242]

The most amazing thing about this video, is that Colm managed to use four tracks to be a one-man barbershop quartet. I think it is called "ring tone" or something, the effect that four properly-pitched voices, usually male voices simply because it works more easily with lower voices, can give where it kinda dances around the proper note and sounds amazing.

[@andyellwood5944]

Dude, the timbre in your harmonies has literally brought tears to my eyes! This is brilliant!

[@taylormichelson1830]

He has different faces for the different ranges I love it he put a lot of emotions into his singing

[@aaronpulley7528]

This was oddly healing to listen to. I don't usually expect that from this kind of song. I used to sing. But been going through some stuff and it's been years since I felt like singing to any real extent, at least anything happy. But this song has been stuck in my head for days, and rather than getting annoying, it's seeping out in humming, whistling, etc. Haven't noticed myself feeling like this in a long time.

[@fantastic.fantasy]

Lyrics: I'll sing you a song, it's a song of the sea Row, me bully boys, row Oh, I'll sing you a song if you'll sing it with me And it's row, me bully boys, row And it's row, me bully boys, we're in a hurry, boys We got a long way to go And we'll sing and we'll dance and bid farewell to France And it's row, me bully boys, row While the first mate is playing the captain aboard Row, me bully boys, row He looks like a peacock with pistols and sword And it's row, me bully boys, row And it's row, me bully boys, we're in a hurry, boys We got a long way to go And we'll sing and we'll dance and bid farewell to France And it's row, me bully boys, row The captain likes whiskey, the mate, he likes rum Row, me bully boys, row Us sailors like both but we can't get us none And it's row, me bully boys, row And it's row, me bully boys, we're in a hurry, boys We got a long way to go And we'll sing and we'll dance and bid farewell to France And it's row, me bully boys, row Well, farewell my love, it is time for to roam Row, me bully boys, row The old blue peters are calling us home And it's row, me bully boys, row And it's row, me bully boys, we're in a hurry, boys We got a long way to go And we'll sing and we'll dance and bid farewell to France And it's row, me bully boys, row And it's row, me bully boys, we're in a hurry, boys We got a long way to go And we'll sing and we'll dance and bid farewell to France And it's row, me bully boys, row Row, me bully boys, row Correct me if you see any mistakes 😊

[@telkhine_4067]

I was so excited for this song to come out! I hope you never lose your spark to keep recording your singing, it makes a lot of people like me so happy to see. For those in the comments who don’t have a lot of choir experience, I can confirm this is way cooler than you might think at first. Please help me support this legend cause he’s a gift.

I can't thank you enough for doing a cover of this one. I never get tired of singing it.

[@grimwriter9763]

This might be a tad random, but hear me out: I’d really love to hear you cover ‘Shiver My Timbers’ from Muppet Treasure Island, Colm. Yeah, it’s a bit silly, ha, but I’m positive you’d make a gloriously epic thing of it. : D And I’m also sure that this one will be amazing! Can’t wait! Edit: yep it was spectacular. That one’s going on all the playlists! Thank you kindly for the lovely music, sir!

[@llamma8787]

YES!

[@davidstowe7880]

Second. Call up Tim curry for a cameo

[@chumegathegoat7750]

TOTALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@chumegathegoat7750]

If he does it then I demand that he get a muppet likeness of himself to use in the cameos. (One with movable eyebrows). BTW Colm, this song was awesome.

[@jackmack4181]

A Surprisingly epic song from silly movie

[@FazeGigem12]

Colm has the best voice in the top range and when he starts to get in the low range and he has helped me in my darkest times just by listening to this song

[@DaiElsan]

Colm hits the mark everytime he releases a new song.

[@diabetic_dan97]

Listened to this like 5 times in a row. SO good. Love sea shanties and this one is my favorite rendition I've heard of it.

[@alyiaceres6137]

Can't wait to hear this one!!

[@redmage808]

Man, I can watch this over and over again, its so so good. I love that he's smiling the entire time too, this song must have been very fun to sing

[@corbyrobinson3640]

Man!!! I have been begging for this for probably about a month and a half, and tomorrow the day will finally be here!!

[@cyanimation1605]

It's beautiful to me that some crew of some ship we'll never know of must've made this up on the spot and it spread enough to be known centuries later to even be here for the invention of audio recording, and spread even further around the world 150 years after that by everyday nobodies each separated by hundreds of miles on Tiktok

[@caedenreeves201]

I have rarely found a musician that produces music of such quality that I enjoy every song, you do an amazing job!

[@stephengerlach5527]

I listen to your playlists more than the radio when driving. So good

[@christianbutler2262]

Bro, you OOZE talent. I just wanted to thank you for being the voice of the many pirate songs I play in my Dungeons & Dragons campaign. If you ever want to make a guest appearance as a traveling bard, i'd simply lose my mind. But until then, ROW ME BULLY BOYS ROW!

[@angemcauslan2551]

My Newfie heart is warmed by this wonderful cover of one of our own.

[@davidstowe7880]

One of the best songs yet. Utilizes your range and skills very well.

[@staceygaspero7035]

Colm has an amazing pitch range I would love an album from him

[@popolopo3564]

Thank you very much...👍 Greetings from Germany.🙋🏼‍♂️

[@polygun5336]

I wish I had your vocal genetics. I'm a bass in my church choir. Some church songs have what is called "basso profundo" or "Russian bass." It's basically an octave below what is possible for normal people. You are one of the few who can reach such a vocal range.

[@arbitraryanecdotes4521]

Hands down the best tooth paste ad I've ever seen 10/10! All jokes aside this is one of my favorite shanties (regardless of whether it's historical or not)

[@Madlermeow13]

Oh this is such a happy one! At least you were definitely having a good time. Fan tip: to know which Colm is singing which part, just base the register on eyebrow position. Higher notes mean higher brows, lower brows are those yummy rumbling bass lines

[@justinseek6871]

I can't tell you how much i love this

[@travissk1tar672]

THANK YOU SO MUCH for taking my suggestion and doing this song it was amazing!!!

[@daogre9107]

Here I was listening to your music on Spotify and this song came on …. I listened to this on KZbin a lot and you got it on Spotify now. Keep it coming. Your music makes drives much more enjoyable now. Thanks for all the hard work you put in this.

[@RichardRoger1966]

I wish Alan had produced a video for this version...

[@jackspoon1542]

It’s Saturday, 8:10am and I’ve already played this song 10 times. This might be the greatest thing I’ve ever heard.

[@rowdyyates4116]

Love it. Well done lads…or lad.

[@gt8285]

I've had this song stuck in my head on and off for a decade, thanks to its brief use in the Robin Hood movie. I had no idea it was an actual song until I stumbled across this video. I understand it's a cover, but this is far and away the best version. You've literally made my day. Just bought the song on iTunes so I don't have to keep refreshing this page haha - cheers!

[@mugszy7101]

I love your singing. Your music has really helped me through this entire pandemic. Keep it up.

[@carrie4910]

[@rogueviking9268]

Colm, I'd love to hear your take on the song "16 tons" (recently covered by Geoff Castellucci of Voice Play).

[@chumegathegoat7750]

I think that would kick off an epic rivalry between the two.

[@TheArdanOB]

I'd be interested to hear Colm do it as well. I love Geoff, but he's so smooth that I miss the consonants. I've never had issues with Colm's diction.

[@freyaswulf9857]

Oh! Com on! I don’t know if we have guests tomorrow in the evening! You can’t do this to me! But I will watch it later. I’m sure it will be awesome! And I won’t COLM down until I watched this Video! (Is the grammar right? I’m 15 and German! I’m still learning...)

[@skjoldar9622]

A few mistakes. In the second sentence it would be "Come on!", in the third sentence it wouldn't be "don't know". Instead use "didn't know" that's the past form of it. Although I'm also not 100% sure as I also live in Germany

[@skjoldar9622]

But I hope I was able to help you with your grammar

[@freyaswulf9857]

Thank you❤️

[@DrewperttheGnome]

If you want to sound more casual, you can conjugate words together like "it'll" instead of "it will" or "wanna" instead of "want to". Solid work regardless! Greetings from California 😊

[@BlueYiperoo]

Just set a reminder. I can't wait to hear this!

[@BlueYiperoo]
