The song is "Netherworld Shanty," one of my all time favorites by Kevin MacLeod, and is used here in compliance with Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 United States (CC BY 3.0). Kevin MacLeod is has a great assortment of music, much of it haunting or mysterious. This song was used in the raucous animated series, "Modern Toss," which played on IFC in recent years.
