What’s long, slippery, and full of semen? An overtime game in a snowstorm between the Vikings and Buccaneers! Ha ha, get it?
Hi folks, I’m Super Bowl winning quarterback (no, not this year) and two-time MVP Aaron Rodgers. As you might have heard, I really, really, really love women. I mean, have you seen my girlfriend? But you know what else I really love? Seamen. I can’t get enough of it…ha ha, I mean, THEM. Whether it’s the proud and noble Viking, the swashbuckling Buccaneer, or even the common filthy Raider, I just love ’em all. I thought we’d dedicate this week’s Request Line to those stalwart and rugged men of the sea, and the ships they sail. I thought I’d get us started by getting double teamed by a couple of soaking wet boys…ha ha, I mean, by playing a double shot of by that band Waterboys from the nautically themed album “Fisherman’s Blues”. Enjoy!

Kemosabe, kiss my ass I bought a boat
FLOGGING MOLLY TRIPLE SHOT! (Yes, of course it’s of whiskey!)
Salty Dog (posted last night in the open thread)
The Seven Deadly Sins
Heart of the Sea
This would have fit as well.
There are so many, I just didn’t want to be taking too many shots at work.
I greatly dislike The Mars Volta, but it has nothing to do with Jon Theodore’s drumming. Put that together with Zack de la Rocha on the mic, and you’ve got yourself the blueprints for something special.
One Day as a Lion – Ocean View
The whole EP is only 5 songs, and it would’ve been so much better if all the songs didn’t sound basically the same…
Jimmy Buffett – Son of a Son of a Sailor
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oX9esXzzO7w
(Never seen him in concert, even though I hear it’s a good time. I think it’s the Parrotheads that keep me away.)
My brother is a bit of a parrothead and he took me to see Buffett a couple of years ago in Vegas.
It was actually pretty fun but the best part?
I was one of the youngest people there!
I’m very surprised this hasn’t been taken yet.
Queens of the Stone Age – I Sat by the Ocean
Aaron likes that we are FINALLY bring some Queens into teh mix…
DAW, I missed the double shot!
Smooth Sailing
This isn’t a song, but it is the best boat crash video on the internet.

Shiver Me Timbers, Tom Waits
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_F0DIJyHRs
*My wife and I played this song heading to the hospital before the birth of each of my boys. Huge sentimental value. Always makes Mrs. Fozz cry and this itchy dust appears out of nowhere to make my eyes go all teary.
Merseyside, represent!

Not a huge fan of the band but it does fit well.
Ship of Fools, Grateful Dead
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6iZ49s7eH5g
Fun #blaxfacts, I was rocking this album for the mostpart when tearing through LOZ: Windwaker so I associate Michelle Branch with those long sails between the islands than I do this.
It’s cheesy and all, but without Christopher Cross, this theme is incomplete.

You know what?
This fits.
Crosby Still and Nash – Wooden Ships
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jv7FNyckr7w
Authority Zero’s cover of Drunken Sailor.
Incidentally, these are Aaron’s favorite kind of sailors.
In that vein…
OK, last one. But holy fuck, this defines my mom’s whole family just so damn perfectly. Such classics to me.
MAIDEN FUCKING RULES! MAIDEN FUCKING RULES! MAIDEN FUCKING RULES!
Well, time for me to Canadian out and post Great Big Sea non-fucking-stop in this thread.
CSN – Southern Cross
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bw9gLjEGJrw
Oh this most definitely belongs here.
Split Enz – Six Months in a Leaky Boat
https://youtu.be/hAzIzmfzN_Q
Also by the DBT’s and off of English Oceans, “Hearing Jimmy Loud”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQXF4UxJAik
“said his last old lady really run him in the ground/
half a gram later I was hearing Jimmy Loud”
And away we go…
Poor Rikki!
You had the chance to pull off the rare, elusive never before captured in captivity…
TRIPLE SHOT!
I know, I know, but it was from a different album!
Which reminds me, NOBODY posted “Whole of the Moon” on the Seeing Stars theme. Shame on us all.
SHAME!

Drive By Truckers, off of English Oceans, (see what I did there?)

This may not be Aa-Rod’s style, but it’s my favorite song about sailor love:
Really like this song: Bat for Lashes – Siren Song
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9Y-mtihWiI
I’m on a Boat – Lonely Island
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avaSdC0QOUM
And it’s predecessor: BOATS N’ HOES

Say Hi (to Your Mom) – We Lost the Albatross
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gO1xjtiUcUA
Aaron Rodgers just likes the costumes, not the guys in them. (Yes, it’s In the Navy.)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InBXu-iY7cw
DO YOU GUYS REALLY THINK YOU CAN HANDLE TWO DOUBLE SHOTS IN A ROW WELL I GUESS WE’RE ABOUT TO FIND OUT…
On a side note, I first obtained this album when I was reading The One Tree, one of the books in the Chronicles of Thomas Covenant and associate the two very strongly. The whole book is pretty much an ocean voyage where they get shit on the whole trip. I mean, SO MANY things go wrong. It’s absurd. Now that I think about it, it was the literary equivalent of Empire Strikes Back; really good but also really rough on the characters you’ve come to like.
