What sad case is campaigning for this change?

Pathetic doesn't even begin to describe this.

Realistically has any child sung this at all since about 1993.

Robots, drones and accountants. Like our current wars. I would think.

Everyone on front lines in the recent past and currently will be very relieved to hear that.

Well it's not random conscripted children/young adults, is it, and realistically isn't going to be again. It's going to be tech and professional soldiers. If the argument is that there will be fewer people who want to become professional soldiers, or that they'll be less effective soldiers than previous generations, because they didn't sing certain children's songs... well, that's another debate but I can't see much of a strong argument behind it.

Well that's exactly what's happening in a major European war right now

For sure things have gone really crazy.

[Nicky91]

but Drunken Sailor is a classic, and very funny song

And what's the punishment if they do sing it?

Hopefully the adult will get whipped by Susan Boyle in a Dominatrix outfit.

Potentially engage brain before posting Mock - we're talking about primary school children and you don't want the old bill coming round to rifle through your hard drive.

It's a joke in general, not about Primary School kids.

I don't think that I should have to clarify that tbh.

One of the main reasons why I can't get into modern Japanese Anime series is the pro-Paedophilia that's in a lot of it.

I've edited the post a little bit, just to make it more clear to people.

I would honestly have liked to believe that people could tell that my post was talking about a Dominatrix Susan Boyle was meant to be punishing adult men, not children.

I also would like to believe that everyone on here would know from my previous posts on here about how much I'm against Paedophilia and other abhorrent sexual acts such as Rape and Bestiality.

I get that the thread that I've picked was poorly timed tbf, I will concede on that.

But I feel like my intention was clear that I was having a joke about envisioning Susan Boyle in Leather being into BDSM punishing adults. So yeah it's admittedly still very dark, but it weren't intended to be about children at all as I haven't made Paedophile jokes since I left my teens.

I'm sorry for anyone that misunderstood my post though, as I do have a very odd sense of humour.

No one thought you were referring to children, Mock. There was no need to change this for someone with so much time on their hands the dissect everyone's posts but their own.

Thanks Livia.

The lyrics are woke mind virus nightmare!

What will we do with a drunken sailor?

Early in the morning!
Way hay and up she rises
Way hay and up she rises
Way hay and up she rises
Early in the morning!
Shave his belly with a rusty razor
Shave his belly with a rusty razor
Shave his belly with a rusty razor
Early in the morning!
Way hay and up she rises
Way hay and up she rises
Way hay and up she rises
Early in the morning!
Put him in a long boat till his sober
Put him in a long boat till his sober
Put him in a long boat till his sober
Early in the morning!
Way hay and up she rises
Way hay and up she rises
Way hay and up she rises
Early in the morning!
Stick him in a scupper with a hosepipe bottom
Stick him in a scupper with a hosepipe bottom
Stick him in a scupper with a hosepipe bottom
Early in the morning!
Way hay and up she rises
Way hay and up she rises
Way hay and up she rises
Early in the morning!
Put him in the bed with the captains daughter
Put him in the bed with the captains daughter
Put him in the bed with the captains daughter
Early in the morning!
Way hay and up she rises

Way hay and up she rises
Early in the morning!
That's what we do with a drunken sailor
That's what we do with a drunken sailor

What's the harm in changing it to something more appropriate and relatable to kids? Using the word "ban" is an exaggeration too, obviously they just want to encourage the use of an alternative version, nobody is enforcing a full on ban of the words to a children's song.

Hosepipe bottom sounds like one of those labels Ali has for everything.

I think we should change it to "What shall we do with the whinging boomer" and watch an implosion
