Drunken Sailor is a traditional sea shanty that sailors once sang while working aboard ships, with its best-known question-and-answer chorus asking what to do with a drunken sailor. Folk groups later kept the song alive in pubs and on stage, and the Irish Rovers are among the performers associated with a lively recorded version. Online, the chorus spread through sailing clips, pirate-themed edits and comedy videos, where its instantly recognisable tune signals mischief and adventure. Its short, punchy structure makes it easy to reuse in memes and short-form edits today.
