and we cannot forget the classic ballad by ManoWar which mentions sailing... "Master of the Wind" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkv-XGD2cQQ

Funny stuff...

chuckle, definitely! Tom makes all raft ups and night caps very fun! He has a large number of humorous sailing songs and a number of the sailors will adlib their own lyrics based upon our boats, the captains and admirals along with some of our more notable misadventures. Most of them are former Mac owners so our was immediately accepted into the fold.... that and I tend to give them a lot of lyical fodder to sing about...

K9,
I particularily like your list
I have one to add; a bit of a stretch to call it a sailing song, but a great song none the less. For you blue owners, I'm sure you have numerous "bluebird" references that kinda make sense.

"whitebird" by "It's a beautiful day"
