Buying Shanty for a Squad Emote

The Emote called Shanty for a Squad is based upon the classic "Soon May the Wellerman Come" #wellerman #seashanty. After debuing two months ago, thhis transversal emote returned to the item shop and is 500 vbucks. After #ShantyTok​ blew up on TikTok, sea shanties have become one of the most popular trends of 2021. Epic Games is betting on the Sea Shanty Emote being the Top 10 or Top 5 best emotes of 2021.

SHANTY FOR A SQUAD Lyrics
There once was a squad that readied up
With outfits of fancy to say what's up
Their hopes were high for a win that day
Go, me squaddie boys, go

See there, the storm she come
To widdle us down and leave just one
Grab your squad quick on the run
Let's take our dub and go

The drop was hot and full of threat
It was lit up by a million sweats
The keg of slurp would pay no debt
The squaddy was spared that day (Huh!)

See there, the storm she come
To widdle us down and leave just one
Grab your squad quick on the run
Let's take our dub and go

The storm was closing in by now
The enemy full send now inbound
They find a way to clutch somehow
So go, me squaddie boys, go (Huh!)

SHANTY FOR A SQAUD
The emote uses a version of “Soon May the Wellerman Come,” the traditional folk song at the heart of the craze, with Fortnite-themed lyrics. If you’re part of a squad, and you all use the emote at the same time, your characters will sing in harmony. As Eurogamer notes, the Christmas carol emote works in a similar way. The Shanty for a Squad emote costs 500 V-Bucks, and perhaps Epic is hoping groups of friends all buy it for the full effect.

Sea shanties became popular again almost out of nowhere. After TikTok user Nathan Evans posted his rendition of “Wellerman,” others used the app’s Duet collaboration features to add harmonies, other parts and instruments. A remix was a hit song in several countries

SOON MAY THE WELLERMAN COME - Original Lyrics
There once was a ship that put to sea
The name of that ship was the Billy o' Tea
The winds blew up, her bow dipped down
Oh blow, my bully boys, blow (huh)

She'd not been two weeks from shore
When down on her a right whale bore
The captain called all hands and swore
He'd take that whale in tow (huh)

Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguing' is done
We'll take our leave and go
(Go, go, go, go)
(Go, go, go, go)
(Go, go, go, go)
Take our leave and go

Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguing' is done
We'll take our leave and go
(Hey)

Before the boat had hit the water
The whale's tail came up and caught her
All hands to the side, harpooned and fought her
When she dived down…

ABOUT ME
I play Fortnite Battle Royale on PlayStation (PS4). Watch me to learn how to earn free stuff. My strategy for the game is different than most players: I play for FREE and avoid the Item Shop. I bought the Battlepass in Chapter 2 Season 1 and have played free ever since. I concentrate on completing Challenges and earning Experience Points (XP). Each Season Battlepass gives free skins, items, and V-Bucks for completing level 100+ each season. My previous Channel name was "Historic Traveler" but only posted videos of Fortnite gaming, so I changed it to my username. -DonMiguel
