„Drunken Sailor“ – Kinderlied oder Shanty?
Die Frage zu beantworten ist leicht: „Drunken Sailor“ – Kinderlied oder Shanty? Um es vorwegzunehmen, es ist wohl inzwischen beides. Denn Kinder in der Grundschule lernen heute, sofern sie auch Englischunterricht haben, bereits diesen Song. Und das bereitet ihnen viel Freude. Andererseits singen viele Shantychöre immer noch diesen allseits bekannten und beliebten Titel. Wegen der Popularität und Beliebtheit des Liedes haben auch Jo & Josephine es in ihre maritime Show aufgenommen. Stets können sie zahlreiche Gäste sehen, die den Refrain gern und voller Enthusiasmus mitsingen. Schau auch die CD „Frischer Wind für 20 maritime Songs“ an, denn da gibt’s noch mehr maritime Songs.
