A couple weeks ago I heard a song about Security, Hackers and Passwords by Rachel Tobac, CEO of SocialProof Security (Security, Hackers and Passwords performed by Rachel Tobac on YouTube). It was a catchy, well-sung tune so I looked around and found it was based on a famous sea shanty called Wellerman. Although the authorship is unknown, this song is believed to have been written in New Zealand by a pirate or shore whaler around 1860. Probably the most well-known performance of Wellerman was by Nathan Evans in 2021. It’s a masterful performance with over 100M views on YouTube (Wellerman performed by Nathan Evans on YouTube). Hearing this song somehow inspired me to write new lyrics to the tune. However, in attempting to sing it, I quickly remembered I don’t have a singing voice – but I endured and now you’ll have to. So with apologies to the composer of Wellerman and the many singers who have performed it well, I present the NosillaCastAway Shanty.
