As a kid growing up in the 90s they were always playing shows like Gilligans Island, Happy Days, Leverne & Shirley, etc. so of course the theme songs were burned into my cortex. Fantastic shows even though I always saw them as shows for old people at the time. Still great to watch, especially when there was nothing else on TV. A couple of years ago I was playing Wasteland 3 and as I was driving around in the Kodiak this track came on the radio. By around the 0:26 mark a huge confused smile started to form on my face even though I didn't know why yet. I started to sing along like i was possessed not knowing where I knew the song from. It took me a few more seconds to remember where this was from. This made me so happy and sad at the same time. Bittersweet because the memories it brought were good but then my happiness and excitement turned to sadness as I realized I had no one to share this with. I lost all of my family a few years before so I carry these memories in silence. That combined with the tragic tone of the game and loss of our world to nuclear war with A.I. really got to me. Just like the fictional characters in the game, wandering the wasteland alone, surviving, and suddenly getting a brief glimpse of life before the dark times. I had to look this up and get the track.

Its so funny (and frankly believable) that the iconic TV show stood the test of time and managed to live on as a sea shanty in the post-apocalyptic future.

The Postman, the novel, has a detail like this. When people tell stories of the old days they recount ad jingles and theme songs!

For all ye young-ins out there, this is Gilligan’s Island theme song (an “ancient”, b&w TV show) classed up as a sea shanty. I thought it’d be a riot if it was ever done & sure enough, lo & behold this talented group took up the endeavor! Great job!

I was on the Over Map and this song started. And as soon as I registered the lyrics, the Kodiak immediately went into park and I just listened.

The feeling when you drive the Kodiak while listening to this. The feeling of loneliness, the feeling of the wasteland, the feel of hope and despair at the same time.

WOW! So haunting with that picture, and the music is similar to The Wreck Of The Edmond Fitzgerald by Gordon Lightfoot.
@nathanielhinz49462 жыл бұрын
it makes sense for the post apocalyptic setting. In A way the people of the wasteland have been castaway from civilization too.

The intro to Gilligan's Island was a sea shanty. But they are clearly channeling the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald which is not a sea shanty. It's weird hearing the two mashed together.

I disagree about that. We have plenty of modern "shanties" that are technically not sea shanties, but are still considered such. The vibe is more important now than the technical terminology, and this fits in fine. As does The Wreck of The Edmund Fitzgerald imo. If "Northwest Passage" and "Barrett's Privateers" are considered modern shanties, I don't see why Edmund Fitzgerald isn't.

@@HandOfThemis That's fair. I'm not one to be pedantic. Btw, I looked up both those songs you mentioned and if I'm on a crew and if that doesn't get me singing along then call the police because I've been kidnapped and that person is not me.

@@gutspraygore Stan Rogers is a world treasure; he died WAY too young sadly. Died in an airport fire saving random people, like the gigachad that he was. Northwest Passage always wets my eyes a bit, not sure why exactly. It's a pretty upbeat but simultaneously mournful song. I love it.

Do you have Cult of the Holy Detonation DLC? When I loaded my ongoing campaign after purchasing the DLC this song started playing on the world map right after a radio call serving as DLC quest starter. I'm not sure when and where it triggers when you play a new campaign with Cult of the Holy Detonation purchased. Check out my WL3 music playlist if you want, I believe I added to it all songs from the game kzbin.info/aero/PLgmgN1_TIm6CeUbRErHh29nITFSoigeL3
