The Last Bristolian Pirate | The Longest Johns | Music Video (Arrogant Worms Cover)

- Bristol is a beautiful place. We've been singing this cover of The Last Saskatchewan Pirate by the Arrogant Worms almost as long as we've been singing together as a band. We saw it as a great opportunity to visit some of the highlights of our home town and do something a little goofy.
Artistic inspiration for this video drawn from The Dead South's incredible video for In Hell I'll Be In Good Company.

I like that in one clip some people clearly recognized you but didn't want to bother you before going their way, they looked so excited lol.
Time stamp?
@@piplupcola 2:18
pretty sure that’s cuz their friends walked in front of the camera
Just so you fellas know, "hoist up the thing" has officially become the slogan I'm using to push myself to do good things in the world.
It's pretty popular under alumni of my study this year ;)
It's an uplifting, upbeat song! No wonder hahah!
If I ever need a pick me up, it's my go to!
I don’t know what I’m doing, but I’m determined as fuck to do it
Hoist up all the things!
Okay, the tractor bit provided me with some greatly needed laughter. I love this song, it is already very silly, but the tractor bit in the middle and at the end had me howling with laughter after a rather rough day. Thank you, and never stop being silly!
I was hoping the last scene would be them chasing the tractor.
@@Cbyneorne at the very end they are riding the tractor chasing the farmer
Because of how smooth those cuts are, with Andy's lips never skipping a beat, and JD's hat throw being so natural, I thought this might be just a greenscreen flashing behind them. But if you look at their hair, especially Robbie's, you'll notice it instantly shift at each scene change based on the direction the wind is blowing. Also, there are a couple places where they do change the arrangement a bit, and one of the scenes they visited casts them in a shadow.
New album releasing on the 28th Jan 2022! Preorder now and check out all the fancy new merch at preorder.thelongestjohns.com
Not to be rude or anything, but it looks like you said 2020 instead of 2022.
@@averythecatto Well then we're two years late. :D
They misspelled it. :)
@@FloxieImpy we have to go back in past to wait for this
Well, I mean, it's technically "the 28th of Third-January 2020" if you don't abbreviate.
Oh, hey! this is not (Directly) related to this song, but I'd just like to offer my congratulations to the City of Bristol, and all its citizens, for acquitting the Colston Four of all charges, today. I found out about it right after seeing this video. Hooray for being on the right side of history.✊🏻✊🏽✊🏽☮
Really love this song ever since I heard the original The Last Saskatchewan on my dad's college mixtapes and it brings a smile to my face to hear you guys covering it. Funny thing is, now that I'm in college, hearing this feel like I'm going through the same things he did.
Congrats, you guys just made me realize I'm turning into my father.
All of us do sooner or later.
@@davesstillhere Or we turn into our mothers, like I did.
I love that you can date the filming of this by Robbie’s purple hair 😂
This and The Mary Ellen Carter have really made me realize just how many shanties are Canadian. Makes me proud to be a canuck.
I love the Arrogant Worms original, but you guys have made it your own. Definitely adequate.
The Captain Tractor version will always be my definitive favorite.
@@TheRealSkeletor anybodys but captain tractors isn’t considered
@@carterwebster5866 Alestorm did a cover recently, so that may be a valid challenger.
This'll be great. Also cool to hear that they drew inspiration from the music video for 'in hell I'll be in good company'
Oh, I used to be a farmer, and I made a living fine
I had a little stretch of land along the Western Line
But times were hard, and though I tried, the money wasn't there
And bankers came and took my land, and told me "Fair is fair"
I looked for every kind of job, the answer always "no",
"Hire now?" they'd always laugh, "we just let twenty go!"
The government, they promised me a measly little sum
But I've got too much pride to end up just another bum
And I said, "Who gives a damn if all the jobs are gone?
I'm going to be a pirate on the river Severn!"
Yarr!
And it's a heave! (Ho!)
Hi! (Ho!)
Comin' down the plains! (woop!)
Stealing wheat and barley and all the other grains
And it's a ho! (Hey!)
Hi! (Hey!)
Farmers bar your doors
When you see the Jolly Roger on the Severn's mighty shores!
You'd think the other farmers would know that I'm at large
But just the other day I saw an unsuspecting barge
I snuck up right behind them, and they were none the wiser
I rammed their boat and sank it and I stole the fertilizer!
The bridge outside of Redwick spans a mighty river
Farmers cross in so much fear, their stomachs are a-quiver
'Cause they know that Tractor Jack is hiding in the bay (Ha ha ha harr!)
I'll jump the bridge and knock 'em cold and sail off with their hay...
(chorus)
Well, Officer Robby chased me, he was always at my throat
But he followed on the shoreline, 'cause he didn't own a boat
But cutbacks were a-coming, and the copper lost his job
And now he sails with us, and we call him Salty Rob (Ha-harr!)
A swingin' sword, a skull and bones, unpleasant company!
I never pay my income tax, and screw the VAT! (Screw it!)
Sailing out past Thornbury, the terror of the seas
If you want to get to Tesco, boys, you gotta get by me!
(chorus)
Well, pirate life's appealing, but you don't just find it here
I hear that up in Yorkshire there's a band of buccaneers
They roam around the Yorkshire dales from Smith to Beverly
And you're bound to lose your flat cap if you have to pass their way
Winter is a-comin, and a chill is in the b-reeze
My pirate days are over if the rivers start to freeze
Well, I'll be back in springtime, but now I've got to fly
I hear there's lots of plundering down in the Isle of Wight!
(chorus x2)
When you see the Jolly Roger on the Severn's mighty shores (Heyyy!)
I'm a Canadian and I love the Last Saskatchewan Pirate song. This is brilliant. Loved it.
Ok so I know this song as The Last Saskatchewan Pirate, so all the lyric changes made me legit cackle as a Canadian who hopped the pond :) thanks for the show lads!
I'm here from a pirate from Saskatchewan.
I like the people in the background looking and smiling.
This is really cool! The editing is really good as well!
Being so familiar with the original lyrics, it feels weird getting into it and then getting jarred out with the place name changed lmao. This is fantastic though, such fun!
I heard this version first, way back, being from UK. Then heard the original and was syked out 🤣
As someone from Saskatchewan, this is so fucking surreal, like gazing into a parallel universe
And closing credits inspired by the Monkees. Couldn't ask for better, and I've been hoping for a video for this song forever. ADEQUATE!
Love the song, especially the very end, makes me wonder if Andy is on the banjo or it's just a prerecorded sound.
I'm pretty confident I've heard that banjo lick somewhere else on TH-cam. I think it's a royalty free track.
Yeah that's what I thought, just making sure
this has inspired me to become a criminal. it seems nothing can stop me so long as i stay in the middle of a river
Being form Saskatchewan and a life long Worms fan, you did this song proud. Well done guys.
The first time I heard this song I was laughing my head off, and now it brings a smile every time I hear it.
I also made a short parody of this song back in April when it snowed unexpectedly and left three inches on the ground. I wasn't happy about it.
How are you not happy about snow?
@@endertobias1908 Well it's only 3 inches. And it's April.

(Yarr! Yoo-hoo, whoo)
And it's a-heave-ho-hi-ho
Coming down the plains (whoop)
Stealing wheat and barley and all the other grains
And it's a-ho-hey-hi-hey, farmers bar your doors
When you see the Jolly Roger on the Severn's mighty shores
You'd think the other farmers would know that I'm at large

A swinging sword, a skull and bones and pleasant company
I'll never pay my income tax and screw the VAT (Screw it!)
Sailing down to Thornbury, the terror of the sea

And it's a-heave-ho-hi-ho

Hey
Being from Saskatchewan…. This is an amazing cover!!!!!!!!
The second I saw the 4-man line-up and the zoom partway into the video, I had the feeling it was inspired by The Dead South. Absolutely love that song in it's entirety, and glad to see that this despription does infact mention it as having inspired the video.
I am crying at that bit with the farmer on the tractor 😂😂😂😂 Good job as always lads!
As a fan of the Worms, I've got to say this is great stuff. The essence of good folk music usually includes adaptability and humour, and this is an excellent example of both. It's also funny in that one unique (?) aspect of Canadian folk music is the song of regret--the "What the hell am I doing here?" sort of song. To see this translated back to England is a heap of subtly ironic fun.
This is such an homage to The Arrogant Worms - from Kingston, ON - and Saskatchewan particularly: Regina is the capital and the place where TLSP is on “Regina’s Mighty Shores” - but not on the “River Sask.”BUT Wascana Lake and Wascana Creek, in fact! That’s a tongue-in-cheek geographical error. Also, Regina is the home of The Dead South, whose video of In Hell, I’ll Be in Good Company (parts of it filmed in rural SK!) was the model for style and video cuts by the Long Johns of their video! Well done! This Bristol version is still as hilarious as the original! Keep going, Long Johns! From Chris in Saskatoon, where the South Saskatchewan River actually flows, har-har!
Welcome to The Longest Johns' Grand Tour of Bristol
I have listened to this song SO MUCH and I couldnt be happier it finally got a music video!!!!!! Thank you for starting our 2022 with such a gift!!!!!!
YOOOOOO THEY MADE A MUSIC VIDEOOOO POGGGGG
who else is just looking at the background at other people's reactions?
This must've been a quite a feat to edit and do the match-cuts so smoothly! Adequate indeed!
I never tire of hearing you gentlemen pay tribute to Canada's entries in the folk/a capella canon. Cheers.
wee canadian thinks you're delightful.

Hey
Having heard both the Arrogrant Worms and Captain Tractor perform the original... I have to say this is a worthy addition and modification!
Your voices and energy never fail to make my day, but OMG your videographer and editor deserve a lifetime supply of hay, incredible feat with this video!!!
I'm singing the song to my daughter a lot but I change (ok just the chorus) "Regina's" with "River Marne's" because we live near there T-T
Prairie dwelling Canadian here. I love this song and listened to the Arrogant Worms a lot growing up.
Great Cover!
History tends to forget the scourge of England's grain pirates.
I wondered how long it took to edit all these shots together and then I noticed the trees.
What?
@@calebmurphy9406 Just look at the trees
..
What?
@@Chrisey96. Yeah, I confirm that those are trees.. but I still don't get it
I think they shot this over the course of several days, if not weeks. They ship they're on is the Tower Belle, where they recorded the 360 of My Son John, and they're all wearing the same clothes in that vid as in this one.
My two year old loves this song. He tries to get me to sing it and prompts words I forgot.
Good heavens, when I imagine all the times you had to film yourselves singing that song in one location, then packing up, going elsewhere, setting up and doing it again… how many different locales are here, it’s insane! I recognize your hard work, sirs!
Just wow…something really different….corner of comfort in nasty musical world
Fucking refreshing to hear people that can sing.
Great parody! Your changes were magnificent. But I think you should visit the City of Regina if you haven't already to see its "mighty" shore so you can laugh even more. It's currently -15 C as I write this Monday night so you may want to wait until summer to go there.
I - I missed the premier by 3 seconds
YAAAAARRRRRRRRRRR!!!!
Thanks guys that was great...my Dad was a in the NAVY as a young man , then became a Policeman and when he retired a Farmer... Sort of reverse order of your cop in your song... Loved it thanks for the LAUGH TOO!
When are yous coming to Northern Ireland, I'd take out a loan to see yous live
That is some excellent editing. I was certain this had to be a greenscreen because the transition between different locations was so smooth.
Arrogant worms... the cover I didn't know I needed in my life
I was really hoping for another attempt on the Flat Cap trick.
Cheers to the new year guys! Absolutely love listening to these songs with my dad, he enjoys them as much as me if not more lol. Can't wait for Smoke and Oakum!
Love the scenes with tractor Jack
it's dumb slapstick
what's not to love
It's amazing that someone from a different continent is covering The Arrogant Worms!
Speaking as one born *in* Saskatchewan, I loved seeing this localisation! Well done!
Great cover and I'm so glad you replaced GST with VAT! (Plus many other awesome switches) :D :D :D
the pan/cut at 1:40 made me gasp. made me think of fred gabourie and buster keaton in sherlock,jr.; they would approve of the technical wizardry. 100/10 excellent video
i love that one of my favorite musical groups is paying homage to the unique style of one of my other favorite music groups
Been waiting for this one a LONG time 🤣🤣🤣
I like how the kid in 2:32 was gonna dab but then he got cut off as soon as he did it.
Perfectly describes why we grind out Sea of Thieves and listen to these guys. It’s the greatest escape.
I'm glad I met you before you guys buy a boat and go full pirate. Good sailing from Colombia!
Between this and your Stan Rogers work, seems like you're getting ready to do an all-Canadian-covers album!
Ah little "Ya Har!! Me lads!" from a pirate on the ol'North Saskatchewan
You guys are seriously the best! I've been listening/watching you guys since the beginning of covid and it's honestly kept me sane. Keep pushing forward mates!
A Dead South influenced Longest Johns music video! This is the greatest crossover episode ever!
Perhaps they should charter a blockade runner to sneak them out of lockdown island and come across the drink to do a collab. That'd make for some seriously interesting music.
I love the edits of the video!
This was one of the first songs of yours I head, and brought me great amusement (and company in the car) for much of summer 2020 onwards!
Wow, so much Stan Rogers and now the Arrogant Worms/Captain Tractor! Are we going to have to give you honorary Canadian citizenship? Cheers, and keep 'em coming!
Having never been to Bristol, you lot make me want to come to visit, so well done
This is hilarious. Now I want to see what you blokes would do with Arizona Piracy Blues.
Amazing! I met guy who was wearing one of your hoodies in Aberystwyth, and I'm glad I found you :)
God I love your stuff guys.
Arr! There goes Tractor Jack!
Thumbnail reminds me of Led Zeppelin.
Hello and thank you from Kingston Ontario Canada, home of the Arrogant Worms
I love the original but I also love this because it’s the same jokes as the original but with places I know (the Yorkshire dales are hills they mention a tiny town as if it’s impressive the isle of white is pretty much just a rock in the ocean etc.)
I have mixed feelings about this song, philosophically (the bankers are the ones who deserve to be plundered). But I think the video is unadulteratedly great. And good lord, how many takes did that hat toss take?? 🏴☠
My favourite part is the sections on the boat, where they had to get Dave to awkwardly slot his leg in between the bench.
Love seeing all the Bristol locations lads! Hope to be the ones mugging in the background some day x
1:31
'Cause they know that Tractor Jack was harvesting his hay.
They scrambled as he shouted "Get out of my waaaaay!"
Alternate title: 4 men stand in various places in Bristol while ocationally slapping their legs
In all seriousness amazing video, the filmography and continuity of the whole thing was really well done, good on ya
Brilliant as always, Gentleman!! I’ve got to say if you should do another video on TH-cam’s subtitles… this song has some AMAZING lines!!
my fiance got us tickets to the Boston show, cant wait to see you guys! (she humbly requests that Moby Duck be part of the set, its her favorite song!)
I swear . . . The Longest Johns should do their rendition of Diggy Diggy Hole. I believe it would be amazing.
Isn't this a Captain Tractor Song?
Just re-watched the Shrewsbury Folk Festival, and now I understand why Rich lent them a red tractor.
The editing on this is phenomenal, especially when y'all do more involved actions that span multiple shots. Mad props to the videographer here! Singing is good too, I guess.
These laughs dang like a real pirates
OK, but I'd unironically be proud if I could add "Tractor driver in a Longest Johns music video" to my CV.
BADASS TUNES, BADASS DUDES. THEIR MUSIC IS SO ENJOYABLE. I NEVER THOUGHT FOLK MUSIC COULD BE BADASS, BUT THEY'RE PRETTY CONVINCING.
AMAZING
Tractor borrowing secret revealed :-)
🏴☠🎧❤
I love Dave's shirt and Robbie's hair!
Absolutely tragic that at 2:32 it cuts off before that kid can finish dabbing
If only people were like this character in the song in 2022 😁😂😂
