Drunken Sailor - The Irish Rovers - MP3 instrumental karaoke

The Irish Rovers' decades-old track "Drunken Sailor” was revisited by a younger generation in 2021 as part of TikTok's 'Sea Shanty' craze after Glasgow postman-turned-popstar Nathan Evans began uploading seafaring songs to the video-sharing platform. One of the oldest known sea shanties, in the 20th century "Drunken Sailor" enjoyed a new lease of life as a popular folk song covered by many artists including old-timers The Irish Rovers – originally formed in Toronto, Canada – who have been playing it live for over half a century. In 2012, the band officially released the track on an album of the same name and with its simple, hummable tune and alcohol-fueled tale about life at sea, "Drunken Sailor" is a rosy-faced rollicking party piece guaranteed to get the crowds going. Just don't go overboard.
