That unexpected "carrot" censor got me. Merry Christmas, lads!

[@sidleyparkhermit6391]

Also, thanks to reading this comment first, I just had the most stress-free "Fairytale of New York" listening experience of my life

[@noriller]

So... I asked ChatGPT a list of famous Sea Shanties... one of the entries was "The Longest Johns", I then asked for the lyrics for that one... here's them: Verse 1: I am a sailor, and I've sailed the seas I've faced the storms and the raging seas But there's one thing that I fear the most It's the sight of the Longest Johns, oh close Chorus: Oh the Longest Johns, they sail the seas Their beards are long, their ship is a breeze Oh the Longest Johns, they'll take you on Their songs will sound, till the break of dawn Verse 2: I've sailed with pirates, and I've sailed with kings I've seen the world, and all it brings But there's one thing that I'll never do It's sail with the Longest Johns, they'll see me through Chorus: Oh the Longest Johns, they sail the seas Their beards are long, their ship is a breeze Oh the Longest Johns, they'll take you on Their songs will sound, till the break of dawn Verse 3: I've heard their songs, and I've heard their tales I've seen their beards, and I've seen their nails But I'll never join them, on their ship of lore I'll stick to land, and leave them at the shore Chorus: Oh the Longest Johns, they sail the seas Their beards are long, their ship is a breeze Oh the Longest Johns, they'll take you on Their songs will sound, till the break of dawn I think... you could have a blast with that...

Lolololol, finally a version of the song where I can understand the words, instead of only every 4th syllable.

[@Ringohulk777]

That medley has some great transitions. Very adequate dear friends

[@amandas8266]

I didn't know you guys covered Scrooge! Muppet Christmas Carol is one of my all-time favorite Christmas movies! Keep it up, and Merry Christmas!

[@danielchick1]

I watch it every year on the Sunday before Christmas

[@unevenflaps]

I love it's hard to be a shantyman at christmas, such an amazing song

[@eddiej3189]

I really appreciate that y'all didn't pull a "no homo" on Fairytale but *did* pull a "no homophobic slurs" thank you for that, lads.

[@kathleensnow9836]

They're all wonderful but Fairytale of New York is just totally the best. Thanks!

[@Bakared2035]

hahaha scrooge made me smile so much

[@franksnyder9262]

Christmas at sea is one of my favorite songs of all time

[@josh___something]

The RKO(RandyDandyOh Kieth Orton) out of nowhere caught me off guard, that was unexpected XD

[@cannotthinkofaname7904]

I Love This Merry Chrimun

[@Catherine-bq5xy]

Omg I love it❤️ accidentally discovered you while looking for some interesting Spanish ladies cover (due to my recent pirate obsession bc of Our flag means dead) Binge listened to all your albums in the last two days, finally decided to watch some of your videos and God this is exactly what i imagined. Your music and your way of expressing all this energy fascinates me! I hope more people know about you, I will tell everyone 👀

[@RoboticSafey]

Huge fan of your Christmas at sea.

[@thegreyknight237]

The muppets Christmas carol "Scrooge" made my day! well done guys. Plus who doesn't like a well performed rendition of God rest ye merry Gentlemen .. what a bunch of legends you lot are, have a merry Christmas :)

[@TokyoBlue587]

I love putting on my headphones, getting all comfy with a blanket and cup of hot cocoa (or grog!) and enjoying these beautiful harmonies. Thank you so much guys, you have really helped cheer me up this year. ❤Also you are all cute

[@Sharp2kn6]

Shanty Claus has blessed us with music 🎤🎅

[@kyleerikson4971]

80% (needs more Briony). Much Love from 🇨🇦

[@elizabethkirby1782]

I love the medley. It took me a bit to get that the game is to change songs by picking up the shared words. It's a great game. Also the hard to be a shantyman & all the rest. The whole thing is so wonderful.

[@milliman4]

I was hoping for something like this. Still listen to Christmas At Sea every year :)

[@lyssassong]

I love the Scrooge one! So catchy and funny!

[@RSorei]

OMG how did I not know about your scrooge cover?!?! thank you for this collection :D

[@uniquitousIsMyName]

Hah! Merry Christmas then, lads!

[@ApexBrachydios]

IT'S ONE WAY OR THE OTHER, MR. JACKSON.

[@jeanrussell9248]

I made a playlist like this a few days ago! Guaranteed Christmas spirit!

[@medleyshift1325]

Me too! most adequate!

[@Onandagus]

I feel a Christmas album coming on! 😏

[@stephaniegandon4940]

Bravo!

[@Leptons_]

Merry Jingle Jam lads, thanks for joining the Yogscast again this year ❤️

[@maddiemaynot]

Just made a playlist of exactly these songs (minus the medley) on Spotify! Brilliant to have them with the vids on KZbin too, all in one place! Thank you!

[@zoomzoom73]

Robbie's Shantyman prognosticated his losing his voice. Use your powers carefully, lads!

[@ffosiliaudecymrusouthwales1716]

Much better than the same old Wham, Slade etc. Have an adequate Christmas, gentlemen!

[@robertthegreek]

Jolly good show, lads! Thanks for putting this together. I still think a shanty-cover of These Three Ships is in order.

[@joncaulkett5198]

nice to have 'em all in 1 place, thanks!

[@raetracer4896]

Have yourself an adequate little Christmas 🥕

[@Amazatastic]

wow beautiful harmonies as always :) would you ever do a cover of Carol of the bells ??

[@ruralconservative6625]

I saw three ships come sailing in on Christmas too!

[@DanCottle]

I had not heard any of these - this was a joy!

[@kerryjgeorge]

It's great to have these all in one spot. 😍

[@jarrythskeen8336]

Merry Christmas and happy New Year boys

[@briarblack7437]

You guys need to do a cover of this song My Love Will Never Die - AG and Claire Williams

[@krumple8560]

Merry Christmas and God Bless you all...

[@dchouinard5513]

i love at 8:40 you can see JD mouth "oh shit" 😅 made me laugh

[@gab28100]

This has made Christmas!!! Thank you!

[@This_Sweets]

This is awesome guys, i was just thinking i should make a TLJchristmas playlist myself. Thanks ❤️

[@Red-dz7qr]

Merry Christmas!

[@creepy-assassin9838]

I look forward to your guys Christmas songs every year there great and I love that you made a video with them all put together

[@dorothyhurst9874]

Merry Christmas x that was brilliant x

[@gerrythekay]

Merry Cristmas lads!

[@Cry_Havoc]

I know it's sacrilege... but yeah, your version of Fairytale is better than the original. I could go on for hours about everything. So adequate in every way!

[@TheAdvancedKnine]

Hohoho

[@ReeseMacalma]

This made my day!

[@Exonick_]

Beautifull

[@nbenefiel]

Please do a Christmas CD

[@Pumpkinshire]

Imagine sitting in a movie theater. This song starts playing low and slow. Three establishing shots of the stars later, zooming across a fog bank, whaling ship comes into View. After a panoramic establishing shot of the ones proud dilapidated vessel showcasing all of the major players on deck lit by soft lanterns we fade across the water once more and there’s a U-boat and the action starts.

[@CapriUni]

How premeditated was that Christmas medley? (This whole supercut is supremely adequate, BTW ).

[@OneInTheMosh]

Hey, is the Worker's Song community project dead in the water?

[@terrotopsis1418]

no its just in the very long editing process

[@Denley1526]

Been out on you tube quite a long time now.

[@kwaggoner2494]

What a collection!! Shanty to Pogues and back.. I could ask for nothing more. Merry Christmas Y'all!!

[@jessinthegarden]

Oh holy…. So two of those I hadn’t watched yet, had been saving for some holiday cheer as needed. The Scrooge is of course delightful, and I was fully prepared to gush about that one (especially the adorable mouses and meeces), but ohhh holy branches of holly, that medley! I laughed, and I gasped, and I ended up crying?! It’s just too splendid and wonderful and it felt like being hit full force with a bucket of the best kind of Christmas cheer. Seriously, thank you thank you thank you for being just the most wonderful shanty band and then some. We truly are blessed by your talent, your joy, your kindness, your generosity. You bring so much comfort and joy to me (and to so many!) on a daily basis. And, in all true honesty, I don’t know how I’d have made it through this year without you, but it certainly wouldn’t have been the same. I’m not the same. My year and myself are the better by far for having found you only just a few short months ago. And now I really am crying, goodness. I’d send you a great big box of Christmas cookies if they wouldn’t be all crumbs by the time they got there. Happy Christmas, lads. I hope it’s beyond adequate, you so deserve it.

[@alvpyrola]

I was so distracted by the last day of Jingle Jam that I forgot it was Wednesday. But what a great way to celebrate those 3,448,752.40 moneys we raised! Hooray! Btw, the Christmas medley has broken quite a few songs for me. I always expect things like "jingle all the way, hey roll and go" and "tidings of com-forty days or even more, the line went slack then tight once more". But since I'm Swedish, I haven't heard all those English Christmas songs all my life, so I guess that might make it easier to mess them up in my brain.

[@hermitized4391]

I listen to Scrooge! and Christmas at Sea even when it's not Christmas. High praise, from this Jew!

[@kylelindberg7771]

When's this month's stream coming?

[@simonkorica9467]

Splendid.
