Alestorm - Share One More Song And Video From New Record


Alestorm have just released another banger fresh off their new album, Curse Of The Crystal Coconut. The song "Fannybaws", accompanied by the official video, tells the story of the fearsome pirate who killed the mighty terror squid and fought against the Vikings - wearing nothing but a tiger pelt. Curse Of The Crystal Coconut comes out on May 29th.

Alestorm on the new video: "Oh wow! The history of Scotland is full of tales of mighty pirates, and none were as feared as the legendary Phann'aig Bhall (otherwise known as "Fannybaws" in Lowland Scots). I hope we've done his epic seafaring legacy justice with this song, and we hope you all enjoy singing along with it. Meet yer dad and smell yer maw!"

Ok, this is better than previous singles from the new album, but still I am not really satisfied. They used to be better...

Take this for instance - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPo4uYhWTuM - this is much better "pirate hymn" imo

Descriptions of "Fannybaws":

Alestorm:
"Oh wow! The history of Scotland is full of tales of mighty pirates, and none were as feared as the legendary Phann'aig Bhall (otherwise known as "Fannybaws" in Lowland Scots). I hope we've done his epic seafaring legacy justice with this song, and we hope you all enjoy singing along with it. Meet yer dad and smell yer maw!"

urbandictionary.com:
"A person with negative defining characteristics."
"derogatory glasgow word meaning stupid bastard, most commonly used at the end of a sentence"
"Usually someone who is a lesser human being, steals stuff off your table even if its just a roll up just for the sake of being a bawbag. Someone who is just there to have jokes made up about their very existence. Can be used affectionately or derogatory"
"A Scottish slang word, compound of the slang words fanny (female vagina) and baws (balls/testicles). A slang word for female genitalia or a soft insult which can be used in many different situations."

I still can't decide which description of "Fannybaws" might be the true one and which one might be the fake news; however, I guess Alestorm are at least 110% more credible...
