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!

If I’m not mistaken, this is the first time ANYONE has posted ANYTHING by the Beautiful South to Request Line.
GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER, PEOPLE.
Get it all together. And put it in a backpack. All your shit. So it’s together. And if you gotta take it somewhere, take it somewhere, you know, take it to the shit store and sell it, or put it in a shit museum, I don’t care what you do, you just gotta get it together.
Get your shit together.

I lied, because we need one more DOUBLE SHOT of songs about waves.
Authority Zero – Brick in the Wave
Soundgarden – My Wave
Going out with a Chris Cornell DOUBLE SHOT
Soundgarden – Let Me Drown
Audioslave – Drown Me Slowly
Almost forgot about this one – from Spiderland (and also seen on the KIDS soundtrack):
Little double shot from the Commodores:
“Captain Jack will get you high tonight…and take you to your special island…”
Sublime – Badfish
WCS opened up a “Captain” song, so…
But wait!
There’s more!
Quite obvious by now that “Ship of Fools” is a tried and true artistic trope. Karl Wallinger (at the time recently divorced from The Waterboys) throws his song into the ring with his newly-formed World Party.
https://youtu.be/4vVVKp5bplU
By the by, the artistic tension between Mike Scott and Wallinger created The Waterboys best work.
I dedicate “Islands in the Stream” to all the sequin makers out there…

ALL RIGHT I GAVE YOU ALL A CHANCE TO CATCH YOUR BREATH BUT NOW IT’S TIME FOR ANOTHER DOUBLE SHOT!
That second one is probably up in personal top 10 list of “album closers”.
Those parts you ordered……

Did you know that tides are affected by the moon? Bill O’Reilly doesn’t. This is my roundabout excuse for posting “Whole of the Moon” by The Waterboys.

/Is this the official song of the Vikings yet? Do they play it right before kick off? They should.
It is and they do. Pretty damn cool to see live in person.
