Seán Dagher's Shanty of the Week 39 Cheerily Men

[@gagesmith8805]

I love that you've started giving the presentation in new places. Much more interesting than the same room every time.

[@SeanDagher]

Yes. I plan to do more of that.

[@GPASG]

I don't know. The decor in that room had me quite comfy by now. Sure I love other places but there's nothing fundamentally wrong with the latter. Big respects to you, master Dagher, by the way. Delightful as always.

[@SeanDagher]

@@GPASG Thanks, Gabriel. I like the room, too, and it'll always be there for the songs. And for the intros when I can't make it to a different spot.

[@Legionaire266]

I just discovered you through the version of Lowlands Low you did the The Longest Johns, and I just wanted to say that I love your Shanty of the Week, it is exposing me to a lot of new shanties I haven't heard yet, and I love that you educate us with the history before and throughout the song. Thanks for putting out great music!

[@SeanDagher]

Hi Leg. Thanks for swinging by the channel. I'm glad you like it and I appreciate your support.

[@bigdawg215]

This version is much more pleasant to listen to than others I've heard

[@SeanDagher]

Well, it's certainly more singable. But I like the silly ones, too.

[@olivermathiesen5299]

Love the song stories and the slight change of scenery together with all the facts and the great singing it really makes every video so nice to watch 😁

[@SeanDagher]

Thanks Oliver. I'm glad you like the videos.

[@Kelly_Grey]

Lovely behind the scenes story. It's nice to know why that shanty goes so fast in AC! I never understood what it was about before now.

[@SeanDagher]

Yes, there were lots of fun moments like that.

[@Kelly_Grey]

@@SeanDagher that would make the perfect subject for a special video, telling stories of working together behind the scenes.

[@rehanasaleem4511]

such a beautiful voice 😍

[@SeanDagher]

Thanks!

[@EdwardJamesKenway...]

You make my week better every video. Cheers big ears 👍👍

[@SeanDagher]

In my family the ceremonial response to "Cheers, Big Ears" is "Fuck-off, Noddy." from the Noddy cartoons in which his best friend is called Big-Ears. There's a long and unfunny joke that my cousin told me that ends with that punch line. I won't bore you with it here. I'm glad the music cheers up your week. Seán.

[@nathanielanderson6356]

The shanties you share always have a way of getting stuck in my head. Thanks as always for sharing these songs with us.

[@SeanDagher]

That's high praise, Nat. I'm glad you like the music.

[@Speedbob2438]

I went back to the Black Flag recording and listened for what you described. I was cracking up! Y'all must be a joy to sing with live

[@SeanDagher]

We always have a lot of fun when we sing together.

[@ducttapeshoeus6107]

Lots of catting and cats in this one hahah. CHEERILY MEN!!

[@SeanDagher]

Yes. Meow.

[@LarboardAnimations9660]

I've never heard this shanty before but its probably one of my new favourites. Good job Seán! Also cool to see a 5 string Banjo in the back-drop. (I'm currently saving up some money to get one)

[@SeanDagher]

That banjo is by Deering. Very affordable and sounds great: perfect for a first instrument.

[@sorinlemke4306]

Great song, we usually start are concerts with that song. Really love your version.

[@SeanDagher]

That's a great way to start a concert.

[@tiberiusvx42ye13]

Your channel is growing really fast. Well done!

[@SeanDagher]

Thanks! I just happy that people like the musc.

[@reeceytaylor]

Man the recording room on AC must've been amazing

[@SeanDagher]

It was endless fun.

[@vikingseagull2575]

That was fun singing Cheerily Men and trying to keep a straight face

[@SeanDagher]

Yes. A challenge.

[@danielferrerrevilla1981]

Once again a interesting and funny shanty, lovely tale, loved the musicality of this one at the end.

[@SeanDagher]

Thanks Dan. I'm glad you like it.

[@BardofCornwall]

Another great video, Sean!

[@SeanDagher]

Thanks, Jesse.

[@icggames2.063]

Awesome song and awesome singing

[@SeanDagher]

Thanks!

[@erinmaemusic]

Is that a mountain dulcimer hanging on the wall behind you???? I stumbled into the Shanty of the Week while doing research about some shanties for a mountain dulcimer class I just taught.... I'm loving the videos and history/context you include!

[@SeanDagher]

It is indeed a mountain dulcimer. I turned it around for this week's video (out tomorrow.)

[@nolivewithoutmilk]

This is the main reason I look forward for Tuesday’s

[@SeanDagher]

I look forward to Tuesdays, too.

[@joaopedroalmeidda8693]

Love your videos make my day very happy iam from brazil

[@SeanDagher]

Well hello João. And hello to Brasil!

[@ColderBrother98]

Loved this in black flag and as always you do it justice

[@SeanDagher]

Thanks Jer.

[@CanadianUnicornDeathSquad]

You probably answered this already, but which AC? Maybe I have more shanties to collect... Loved this, btw. I really needed something this fun this week. Had to fly back to Oregon to put my mother to rest this week, and I get back on a plane tomorrow to head back home. Definitely going to be listening to all the shanties while I'm in the air.

[@SeanDagher]

First of all, my most sincere condolences about your mother. What a terrible loss and my heart goes out to you and your family. Secondly, I can't remember which AC. Probably either Black Flag or Rogue.

[@CanadianUnicornDeathSquad]

@@SeanDagher many thanks. We scattered her ashes at a beach we frequented. Lovely place, Seaside. Also thanks for answering my question. Must be one I missed collecting!

[@MCBoult]

I collected it bout a week ago, it's in Black Flag and it's probably one of my favorite shanties in the game as silly as it sounds

[@thegneech]

I played the heck out of AC4 and couldn't remember this being in it, so I looked it up and was like "OOOOOooh, because in AC4 it's that weird all-over-the-map song! Rock on."

[@SeanDagher]

Oh man, I just went to listen to it again. That AC version is indeed all over the map and it is amazing.

[@thegneech]

@@SeanDagher It is! XD

[@obamacircle2486]

Love it

[@SeanDagher]

Thanks!

[@caboodle633]

I found this channel, and instantly knew you were from assassin's creed, glad to see you man, bomb mustache btw

[@SeanDagher]

Thanks Wally. I'm glad you found the channel and that you like the stache.

[@nico40820]

Nice.

[@SeanDagher]

Thanks!

[@GPASG]

So I booted up the game today again, after a long time, just to find this shanty and refresh my memory; now I can say I definitely understand all the laughing in the beginning. Silly doesn't even do it justice! I still loved it though. Both in game and in this video. All the best!! PS. The thought just crossed my mind! Who are the gentlemen on your singing crew in this series? Are they by any chance a selection of the gentlemen in La Nef? All of them? Or an entire set altogether? I'd love to see them mentioned if not even credited at the end of the video along with the patrons and whoever else.

[@SeanDagher]

Yes. Great song, both versions. As for the back-up singers in my videos, it's all me! i just sing the voices over and over again. You can see evidence of this Blood Red Roses (#31). kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHPFoZ9qjrOkeqM

[@GPASG]

@@SeanDagher Ha! No way! It did seem strange to me how in #20, Randy Dandy O, after "Come breast the bars bullies, heave her away Soon we'll be driving her way down the bay", there was a double "oh" in your voice but I figured it was just you separately singing with the crew... well. That was before I knew you WERE the crew. 😂 If this doesn't tell how much you dedicate yourself, nothing does. Once again my most sincere congratulations on, and thanks for, all your work.

[@jarrythskeen8336]

Cool toon

[@SeanDagher]

Too.

[@Saptaprun]

i know you saw my last comment, but I'm going to keep asking because I love shanties and I loved Black Flag and to find out you were one of the main singers I love it, would love to send you something for an autograph...but anyways I digress id love to have a full version of Shanty of the Week!

[@SeanDagher]

Well, email me at [e-mail] and I'll see what you could send me. I'm going to print vinyls very soon.

[@Spineless-Lobster]

I've never heard this song before, now I gotta search up the Assassin's Creed version!

[@SeanDagher]

Yeah, I should go listen to it again as well. I sometimes wonder if my memories of those sessions are accurate.

[@canadagaming422]

How many instruments do you own

[@canadagaming422]

Also grat video

[@Colelauritsen]

@@canadagaming422 he own yes amount of instruments

[@SeanDagher]

Yes.

[@edgarburlyman738]

Haha I've never played Assassin's Creed but you've made me want to!

[@SeanDagher]

I've actually never played it, either.

[@evanlothrop1454]

@@SeanDagher it would be off topic but if you played assassins creed I bet a ton of people would watch it including me!

[@dipantaramaqdis3805]

its a new background

[@SeanDagher]

I bought some new Zoom backgrounds.

[@isaokanai]

I've never heard this shanty before, did you make it yourself?

[@SeanDagher]

No, I didn't write it. In fact I didn't write any of these, just the vocal arrangements.

[@rehanasaleem4511]

wellerman sir please

[@ianhowick]

did Ubisoft automatically switching to Two Factor authentication lock anyone else out of their own accounts or am I just a dumbass?

[@SeanDagher]

Ian. I don't know. How would I know?
