"Waiting for the Vaccine" (Wellerman Sea Shanty) epic LIVE comedy song | Rainer Hersch

[@FQuintanaMarrero]

It should be this summer’s hit!! I love it.

[@frankschmele5485]

Perfekt foe the next Eurovision Song Contest 😉

[@kimbichbui366]

Summer turns to Autumn

[@DesertCookie]

I've heard this at least twice in German FM radio. And I really only listen to radio very occasionally. I guess it became last summer's hit.

I'd like to hear a follow-up sea shanty about myocarditis and strokes, should be fun?!

[@ctr2090]

Yes.

[@TheoTheTimeTravelingMagician]

Exactly

[@angielynch8240]

"I'm the opposite of homesick" 🤣🤣 well done all 😍

[@RainerHerschYouTube]

Thanks. Strange, because homesick really should, mean ‚sick of home‘, shouldn‘t it?

[@marquisdehoto1638]

@@RainerHerschKZbin Maybe the meaning changes once this all is over 🤣

[@marrykurie48]

@@RainerHerschKZbin In German there is a word for the opposite of homesick: Fernweh (far ache)

[@christaostertag4696]

@@marrykurie48 The once at home want to go far away, so they have "Fernweh" (want to be far away) and the once far away suffers from homesick "Heimweh" and want to be at home.

This song has everything: shanty music, historical events, what people do and feel in this times and classic style! Can anything be so perfect?!

[@vvelvettearss]

the historical events part made me laugh 😂

A true history of the last 18 months! Well done one & all xxx

[@RainerHerschYouTube]

Yup. We thought so too. Get Lost Covid, don‘t come back.

[@DanielaBodoh]

"We start lockdown then we stop lockdown then we start lockdown then we stop lockdown" HAHAHAHAHA 😂😂😂😂😂

[@Bashar3A]

That was a mix of laughter and painful memories summing up entire year all in under 4 minutes. Well done. MORE!

[@RainerHerschYouTube]

Thank you 🙏

[@dbadagna]

What a rare pleasure to have the opportunity to hear professional operatic vocalists sing more or less free of constant wide vibrato. Let's hear more of that, especially in Baroque and Classical-period opera.

[@Edidin]

I can safely say I haven't related to a song this much in years :D

[@RainerHerschYouTube]

Great. Thanks for watching. Please share it around.

[@randalthor7693]

Hi Rainer! As an actual working performer of maritime/ nautical music, i'm sharing this with the other old men in my bands. We haven't performed in over 15 months, hopefully this will cheer us up!

[@RainerHerschYouTube]

Hi. Great. Hope you can get going again soon. It’s a super frustrating time.

[@HardstyleUp2Datez]

Well performance!! 🤩 "And now I'm alcoholic" true painful fact. 😂

[@aninaholbek]

The funny thing is, that this popped up in my "recommended" just as I was heading off to get my first jab :) - I assume it's okay to be merrily humming this song in the vaccine queue :D

[@RainerHerschYouTube]

Absolutely. Teach it to your injector.

Brilliant! Once the travel bans are lifted, someday, someday, I'm going to treat myself and go to England, just to see the Orkestra! (And you, of course. Not much point in going otherwise.)

[@RainerHerschYouTube]

Great - look forward to seeing you there one day.

[@annagram54]

Live streamed this concert from the US last Saturday. And got my autographed CD, too!! Concert was so much fun. Guitarist Earl Okin was fabulous!! Hope that there are more of these live stream events.

[@RainerHerschYouTube]

Thanks. We will try to live stream the next one. We will pass your comment on to Earl Okin.

priceless never been lost for words but you got me this time, never though i would see the funny side of Covid, but as they say you never know whats around the corner and then the sea shanty's came along what a strange world thanks for your injection of humour , keep safe and hope to see you next time you come to Birmingham, big fan of classical and orkestra , not that educated in classical but learning every day take care regards from Birmingham.

[@mymatemate209]

Bit random to come across on KZbin but great version of the actual song! Good job 👍🙂

[@BrittTheFurry]

@@chiaram1377 You were a fool to trust corrupt politicians and media over friends and family who care for you. Who stands to gain from getting that injection in your arm? It's killed more in six months than all other vaccines COMBINED over 30 years and there are treatments that really ARE safe and effective being kept from us - you can check for yourself in the official data your family were desperately trying to show you unless the govt you place all your trust in is spouting bs of course - you can't have it both ways...

That's so cool. Although I've hadn't a real lockdown 'cause I had to work in a school for the children who needed a special care still. But I am looking forward to meet more friends, laying in the sun and drinking (to much) and mostly having something to tell! That's how I felt the Lockdowns- just working, every day, no friends, and even if I met someone or have called someone- after a while I had nothing to tell- 'cause I had nothing experienced. I need adventures now!!!!!!!
