Jody Kruskal Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 A few weeks ago I was at a small Manhattan Irish session with two flutes, me on Anglo and Bob on English. At the end of a jig set, Bob launched into Popeye the Sailor Man... just for laughs. Yes, it does have a B part. A drunk suit came over to us gushing. Finally, a tune he recognized! “Can you sing the song? I’ll buy you a beer if you can”. We tried and failed to get very far, except for the part about how he lives in a garbage can. The punter was not satisfied. He pulled out his phone and dialed it up on the web and I gave it my best shot. Stupid song. Good beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad's theme song from 70 years ago, Stupid now perhaps, but a delight as a child! To complete the verse: " I likes to go swimmin' with bare naked wimmin'. I'm Popeye the sailor man...Toot Toot! ?
