Thanks again for listening! I have a few big requests planned in the next 2 weeks, but please do keep leaving your suggestions! Stay handsome, yis beauts!
I used to sing these shanties when I was in the Navy for four years before joining the Army. They really do make work go better and most people love them to break up the monotony. One day the chief heard me and I said I would stop, he said, "Dont you dare sailor, thats the seafaring spirit we need, work gets done on time with you singing." I can't carry a tune in a suitcase but I love to sing. I just discovered this channel this morn. Instant like and Sub.
This has the same pace as we used to march on long humps (Marine Corps slang for marching). If we had Colm sing our cadence we could have marched across an entire continent
@@tazdianbrewhaha1402 I can see that pace for sure. I served in the Navy and then the Army, this would have been really good for a march, Colm would kill it calling cadence.
I’m retired US Navy (1999-2019) and I have a deep love for sea shanties. I absolutely love being at sea. I came across this song today at work and can’t stop listening to it. This is amazing. Makes me wanna head to some coastal town in Maine or Halifax (one of my favorite places ever) and drink at a bar on the waterfront and sing songs of the sea with Sailors. I love this. As we say in the US Navy when someone has done something exceptional, “BRAVO ZULU!”

I love his cover of the vikings the best it plays to his voices deeper notes much better but also goes very high as he covers a woman singing. Amazing.
Oh my god, these facial expressions again! Magnificent! Played "Black Flag" eight years ago. The only AC I am familiar with. Because of the pirates, of course.
Ah nice! Waiting for the next Colm treatment... I also prefer seeing you performing in frontal shots. That captures your vivid expressions, when you are singing. One can see your dedication... that's inspiring. Never give up on your vocals! Cheers mate!
I am from a small riverine called Bangladesh located in South Asia🇧🇩🇧🇩.. I'm not very familiar with your culture but I love these songs/shantys..I first discovered them by playing Assassin's Creed Black Flag..Now this shanty is stuck inside my head😀
Your music is my go to on my cross country road trip from Southeast Virginia to Yellowstone! Awesome job! Have you thought of recording Whiskey in the Jar?
I think this is my absolute favourite of yours. Your voice is incredible mate! And the way the percussion 'seems' to get more powerful the further the song progresses is sublime! I LOVE IT! Destroyed the repeat button.
While its exact origins are a bit murky, "Bully in the Alley" is most likely a sea shanty born of the Caribbean trade routes. The song tells the lighthearted tale of a sailor who might have imbibed a bit too much while on land, finding himself "bully" (an archaic term for drunk) in an alley. His shipmates, not yet ready to turn in, continue their revelry. The song's catchy tune and simple verses made it a popular choice for sailors during short hauls or other quick bursts of work that needed a rhythmic accompaniment. Secondary Source: Hugill, Stan. Shanties From the Seven Seas. Mystic Seaport Museum: Mystic, CT: 1994.
Been listening to the version by Kimber’s Men but HAWT DANG I want to get bully in the ally with you Colm and just belt this out drunk at the top of our lungs.
Maybe it's just the background but holy shit the quality of this video is amazing (your quality is always great btw, just something about this). Thanks for consistent uploads!!!!🍻
Man, this is so good. Love hearing one of my favorites done by the one and only Colm. Though, I would like some more Irish songs, please. Spancil Hill?
Well, this is a saucy sea shanty my boy! Twinkle in those eyes of yours again. Love it of course. Where can I buy your music Colm, I want to take you with me when I’m out and about? Bright blessings x
I once was driving down the road and saw a car crash at about 50mph happen right in front of me. I didn’t hear the sound of the collision because I had this banger of a song turned up to high volume. 10/10 amazing recording
After hearing a lot of your songs now with your depth and range...I can only request one song that you do would do justice with or possibly surpass...and that would be Enya's haunting Boadicea. Would love too see your rendition.
Mr. McGuinness, could I ask that you arrange a playlist of your sea-shanty covers (Hopefully including Sleeping in the Cold Below)? Your covers have an incredible tone and sound to them, and when I'm playing seafaring games (Sea of Thieves, Atlas, Naval Action) your songs are those I listen to almost religiously. Incredible singing ability, and I can't thank you enough for putting yourself out here on TH-cam. Much love, and keep producing incredible content, if it pleases you.
Some of Colm's videos sound like a pub song, some like an epic theme from a blockbuster, but there is a common thing for all of them: they are damn good.
i remember getting this game a month after its release. first game to make me laugh cry cheer and rage all in the same few hours. your music genuinely brought a few tears to my eyes keep up the good work my man:)
Hmmm... Feels so good to start a weekend with a thumping tune and digital cloning :). Thank you for the joyful vocals and be sure to say hello to your 'Sally' for us!
Guy spends nearly three straight minutes asking this fella Bob to help him, and all Bob does is sit there listening to his mates drunken ravings. Bad friending, Bob.
Another hit from you dude, your voice is just amazing! watching your past content its just unreal the range you have. Would love to hear your cover of Bink's Sake (if you can play the piano and violin parts - that would be epic)
I love that song! My impression is that the baritone and the tenor are the most comfortable voice height for Colm. :D But I appreciate the abilities to do the bass also. :)
i love to look up the historical significance of all these shantys you sing and according to Google “Bully in the Alley” is a halyard shanty with probable African-American origins referable to the black slaves involved in loading and unloading cotton bales in the ports (cotton screwing). i love all your music and love sharing it with my friends can't wait for more Mr. McGuinness!

I LOVE YOUR VIDS KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK
les miserables (any song)

What about "Johnny I Hardly Knew Ya"?
In case anyone else was wondering, "bully" is slang for drunk.
So nothing to do with picking on nerdy kids in alleyways?
I did not know that. Thanks 🙂
Do you know what "shinbo" (or whatever it is) is? I couldn't find it on Google
It's also such a signature song for those who played Assassin's Creed black flag.
@@JeweledSpace93 shinbone* and im pretty sure thats just the name for it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Lyrics for anyone like me who loves to sing along!
Help me Bob, I'm bully in the alley
Wey hey, bully in the alley
Help me Bob, I'm bully in the alley
Bully down in Shinbone Al
Sally is the girl that I love dearly
Way-hey, hey-hey, bully in the alley
Sally is the girl that I spliced dearly
Bully down in shinbone al!
Help me Bob, I'm bully in the alley
Wey hey, bully in the alley
Help me Bob, I'm bully in the alley
Bully down in Shinbone Al
For seven long years I courted little Sally
Way-hey, hey-hey, bully in the alley
But all she did was dilly and dally
Bully down in shinbone al!
Help me Bob, I'm bully in the alley
Wey hey, bully in the alley
Help me Bob, I'm bully in the alley
Bully down in Shinbone Al
I bought her rum and I bought her gin, oh
Wey hey, bully in the alley
And bought her wine, of white and red, oh
Bully down in Shinbone Al
Help me Bob, I'm bully in the alley
Wey hey, bully in the alley
Help me Bob, I'm bully in the alley
Bully down in Shinbone Al
And when I've spent a total folly
Wey hey, bully in the alley
I'll go back out to see their calling
Bully down in Shinbone Al
Help me Bob, I'm bully in the alley
Wey hey, bully in the alley
Help me Bob, I'm bully in the alley
Bully down in Shinbone Al
And when I left the girls were screaming
Wey hey, bully in the alley
Come night at sea I'd be dreaming
Bully down in Shinbone Al
Help me Bob, I'm bully in the alley
Wey hey, bully in the alley
Help me Bob, I'm bully in the alley
Bully down in Shinbone Al
I ever get back, I'll marry little Sally
Way-hey, hey-hey, bully in the alley
Have six kids and live in Shin-bone Alley
Bully down in shinbone al!
Help me Bob, I'm bully in the alley
Wey hey, bully in the alley
Help me Bob, I'm bully in the alley
Bully down in Shinbone Al
The two dislikes are Sally's jealous exes😂
You win best comment today!
Really i thought 1 was Bob
Meanwhile there are 11 dislikes! Girls just wanna have fun! 🥳 🤣
That maiden must be a women of the night. 19 dislikes.
@@GremlinZ420 now its getting out of control. 21 dislikes
He hasn't sung a note and there's already 118 likes. That's devotion
Just saving our selves time when its time for repeat. Lol
We know what we’re in for at this point.
I love his cover of the vikings the best it plays to his voices deeper notes much better but also goes very high as he covers a woman singing. Amazing.
We know what level of excellence to expect of Colm that we don't need to hear it, if we know the song we already know it's gonna be awesome
Legitimately haven’t seen a bad video from him, man nails it everytime
Awesome stuff! Would love to see a cover of "The Chemical Workers Song"
Excited for when you have more albums/songs to purchase!
Do a whole alblum of ac4 sea shanties it would bring great joy to the whole world
He already did one. ;)
@@maciejdrewnik1537 I think he didnt

Oh my god, these facial expressions again! Magnificent!
Played "Black Flag" eight years ago. The only AC I am familiar with. Because of the pirates, of course.
This is going to sound so strange, but my pet frogs LOVE when I play your shanties. They start croaking every. single. time. 🤣
That's awesome
Lol its his bull frog bass.
😂👌
They think it's toadally awesome.
You could even say they find his tunes ribbeting.
I'll leave now.
Ah nice! Waiting for the next Colm treatment... I also prefer seeing you performing in frontal shots. That captures your vivid expressions, when you are singing. One can see your dedication... that's inspiring. Never give up on your vocals! Cheers mate!
Wow, when those low notes kicked in, I was multitasking, and then I was no longer multitasking. It shocked my system! Awesome job!
This reminds me of when I first discovered him a few days ago.
I was zapping on youtube and then I was struck!
It's really mesmerizing!
Soon my shanty playlist is just gonna be Colm McGuinness.
Oh. darn.
The Colm One Man Shanty Choir is back … what a great start into the weekend 🌹⚓️
Imagine sitting in a pub and everyone's singing this😍...man this is awesome... love your voice
How many octaves do you sing? Your voice span's a demon's growl to a school girl's giggle. Not only impressive, but extraordinary and beautiful.
Can you do a cover of worst old ship
Can you make This Is What You Are (warframe) please?🙏🏻
I'm always down for Warframe tunes!
That will be a tough one for lyrics
@@ColmRMcGuinnessI would love to hear the fields of athenry please 🙏
Geez i completely forgot the song which introduces you to the game.
Excellent! Me from a month ago is crying, because he didn’t have this to listen to. Where has this been my whole life.
I’d love to hear more of your originals. They just hit different
That means a lot! Thank you, mate!
Lord I got all of these Shanty's stuck in my head while playing AC.
I am from a small riverine called Bangladesh located in South Asia🇧🇩🇧🇩.. I'm not very familiar with your culture but I love these songs/shantys..I first discovered them by playing Assassin's Creed Black Flag..Now this shanty is stuck inside my head😀
With his vocal range, this boy don't need accompaniment, he does it all!
Your music is my go to on my cross country road trip from Southeast Virginia to Yellowstone! Awesome job! Have you thought of recording Whiskey in the Jar?
I have an entire playlist of just your songs, cause they're all so damn good. 😤 Thank you for sharing your hard work and beautiful voice!!!
I think this is my absolute favourite of yours. Your voice is incredible mate! And the way the percussion 'seems' to get more powerful the further the song progresses is sublime! I LOVE IT! Destroyed the repeat button.

😯 Wow! This was and instant smile for me! As the wife of a retired sailor this shanty was amazing as always sir
So happy to see one if my favorite shanties(and an under appreciated one at that) done by my favorite youtuber. Great work as always!
Dude on the right singing in Eldritch God
I love Colm's covers, one of the best imho
Beautifully done Colm! Your high range is sounding better and better with each cover!
Man, this is so good. Love hearing one of my favorites done by the one and only Colm. Though, I would like some more Irish songs, please. Spancil Hill?
Well, this is a saucy sea shanty my boy! Twinkle in those eyes of yours again. Love it of course. Where can I buy your music Colm, I want to take you with me when I’m out and about? Bright blessings x
I'm here... I'm here! I knew you wouldn't miss one even if YT decided not to send me a notification
We appreciate your dedication, mate! Thanks for always turning out!

Oh good, we get to see all the Colms singing!
I hope one day to hear this godly voice do Vode An from Star Wars. How glorious that'd be.
Or Dha Werda Verda, both excellent mando songs from the Republic Commando game.
@@darthgallifrey3588while I doubt we’ll ever get either, that would be awesome. Nice to see some fellow vode too.
Well done. The drum beat makes it sound like a march.
You're the only singer on youtube whose songs I listen to every time you upload something.
Just saw this now. Magnificent!!
I think Waiting For The Sun from the game Rimworld would fit your voice really well. Keep up the awesome work!
Thank you so much for doing a cover on this! Can’t wait!
i remember getting this game a month after its release. first game to make me laugh cry cheer and rage all in the same few hours. your music genuinely brought a few tears to my eyes keep up the good work my man:)
Loved it. I needed me a bit of the shanty, this fine Saturday afternoon. Thank you Colm.
Fantastic as always mate! Possibly inspiring me to buy AC4 on a 3rd platform now xD excited for whats to come!
That was amazing! I love the harmonies!
Missed the premiere, but enjoyed the replay. Thanks Colm, you are setting a whole new level of standard for these shanties 😁
Oh my I forgot I needed this shanty too!
Bless you, Colm!
Brilliant harmonies. Thank you for once again bringing a spark of joy to my week.
one of the best voices I've ever listened to
Huge smile on my face listening to this! Love it!
I love this song!!! And this is definitely my new favorite cover/version of this song in general!!! Amazing Colm!! As ALWAYS!!
As a bass myself, I just in awe of that constant growl in his bass part
Not a bass, but l'm in awe of it too!
This is a classic for me.
You're a treasure!
Keep up the Irish // Videogame songs bro!
Glad I found your channel, what a gem. You have beautiful voice and perform with passion. I love it! Like and sub for you Colm
You're amazing. I'm listening to this and have to stop to see that it's all you with different voices.
I love it, it makes me want to dress up as a pirate!👍
Hmmm... Feels so good to start a weekend with a thumping tune and digital cloning :). Thank you for the joyful vocals and be sure to say hello to your 'Sally' for us!
Awesome cover👌🏼 Those low vocals just blow my mind every time🔥
This sounds so awesome!!!!! 😍 I think you should do the The Fields of Athenry next 👍
I so enjoy your rousing renditions! Not sure if you've done The Whale by Fielding & Dyer? If not, would love to hear your rendition :-)

@@ColmRMcGuinness Also, amazing cover. Had it on repeat while I was playing Black flag last night.
*head bobs as he listens then it ends.. and cries a little* Fun song.
Love this! It would be amazing if you would consider doing a cover of the full version of The Derelict (15 Men on the Dead Man's Chest)!!!
this is right up there with Lowlands Away as your best shanties
Another hit from you dude, your voice is just amazing! watching your past content its just unreal the range you have. Would love to hear your cover of Bink's Sake (if you can play the piano and violin parts - that would be epic)
Damn your harmonies are on another level man Im astounded how you manage to sing both so low and high
Soooo eine geniale Stimmkoordination.
Grüße aus Deutschland ^^
Das Lied ist wirklich gut und der Typ ist auch nicht schlecht😅😘🍻
My husband thinks I'm crazy singing all these shanties in the barn. Colm, thanks for giving my hubby something to wonder about.
I know what i'll hearing the next weeks 24/7 :)
Keep going with your AMAZING and BEAUTIFUL voice!
This is so good and catchy. I can't help but tap my feet. Love it!
I really like it when I get notification of your videos. Congratulations and greetings from Brasil 🇧🇷
I can't say this enough. You have an amazing voice!!
I love that song!
My impression is that the baritone and the tenor are the most comfortable voice height for Colm. :D
But I appreciate the abilities to do the bass also. :)
It’s cool that your branching out to other languages. Help expand the audience. “Bully down in shinbone al”
Aaahh!! Your voice is addicting like always... We all just can't have enough of you and the talent you bring onto this platform ^^
Guessing I'm listening to this for the next few weeks...
This COVER!!! My God, is very beautiful. 🤩
i love to look up the historical significance of all these shantys you sing and according to Google “Bully in the Alley” is a halyard shanty with probable African-American origins referable to the black slaves involved in loading and unloading cotton bales in the ports (cotton screwing).
i love all your music and love sharing it with my friends can't wait for more Mr. McGuinness!
original Plan: stay Home and relax
After the Song.... guys its time for beer an sing! 😁🤟
So good!! Nailed it!!
Du bist echt einmalig ..genial ist immer interessant dir zuzuhören.. weiter so 👍👍👍
I can already smell the salt breeze as we pull into Havana.
You should do a cover of We Shall Sail Together. I think it would be really cool to see your take on it.
Such a good song and you sang it so well! Adore!
I can’t believe you hadn’t made this one already! I swear I remember it haha
