For some reason this song just has me hooked. I keep singing "and Ithica's waiting, my kingdom is waiting. Penelope's WAITING for meee!" It's so good! Goosebumps!
"WATCH WHERE THE BIRDS! THEY WILL LEAD US TO LAND! THERE WE'LL HUNT FOR FOOD, MY SECOND IN COMMAND... NOW FULL SPEED AHEADD!" "GIVE ME TILL SUNRISEEE AND IF WE DONT RETURN! THEN 600 MEN CAN MAKE THIS WHOLE PLACE BURN! NOW FULL SPEED AHEAADDDDD!!" love those parts so much
Lyrics: Six hundred men. Six hundred men under my command. With only one goal in mind. (Make it back alive to our homeland.) Six hundred men. Six hundred miles of open sea but the problems not the distance. (It’s what lies in between.) And Ithaca’s waiting (Ithaca’s waiting) My kingdom is waiting. (The kingdom is waiting.) Penelope is waiting for me. So full speed ahead. Full speed ahead. Captain Eurylochus. Six hundred men. (Six hundred men.) Six hundred men, with big mouths to feed. And we’ve run out of supplies to eat. (Curse the war, our food store’s depleted.) Six hundred men. (Six hundred men.) Six hundred reasons to take what we can. So captain what’s the plan? (Captain, what’s the plan?) Watch when the birds fly. (Watch where the birds fly.) They will lead us to land. (They will lead us to land.) There we’ll hunt for food, my second in command. Now full speed ahead. We’re up, we’re off, and away we go. (Full speed ahead.) We’re up, we’re off, and away we go. (Full speed ahead.) We’re up, we’re off, and away we go. Captain Polites! Look! There in the distance, I see an island. I see a light that faintly glows. Maybe they’re people lighting a fire? Maybe they’ll share some food, who knows? Something feels off here. I see fire but there’s no smoke. I say we strike first, we don’t have time to waste. So, let’s raid the place and- No! Polites gear up. You and I’ll go ahead. (You and I’ll go ahead.) We should try to find a way no one ends up dead. (We don’t know what’s ahead.) Give me til sun rise and if we don’t return then six hundred men can make this whole place burn. Now, full speed ahead. (Full speed ahead.) (Full speed ahead.) We’re up, we’re off, and away we go. We’re up, we’re off, and away we go. (Full speed ahead.) We’re up, we’re off, and away we go. We’re up, we’re off, and full speed ahead.
@@TowardsTheMoon880 I know that. I did this because I’m very picky about lyric videos. Taking the time to comment the lyrics helped me memorize the song.
It's the story of odesseus (I think that's how you write it but I'm reaaaally not sure) it's a character from the odyssée written by homer in the greek mythology
@@nimshithaw5790 no worries at all! ☺️ Classical spelling is a minefield no matter the language! I studied Classics at Uni and my Professor said that as long as you’re spelling the word the same way each time you’re fine 😂😂
You know what's crazy? 600 miles = 960km, and the sea route from Troy to Ithaca is about 1000km, actually close to 600 miles.
Holy sh*t
That's like a lot of math isn't?
Good job

Never met a moon dancer before.
If I remember right all songs have a part called the hook that gets you staying and listening so that's why and I agree it's amazing
Burr: Wait for it
I keep that part on repeat

Lyrics:
Six hundred men.
Six hundred men
under my command.
With only one goal in mind.
(Make it back
alive to our homeland.)
Six hundred men.
Six hundred miles
of open sea
but the problems not the distance.
(It’s what lies in between.)
And Ithaca’s waiting
(Ithaca’s waiting)
My kingdom is waiting.
(The kingdom is waiting.)
Penelope is waiting for me.
So full speed ahead.
Full speed ahead.
Captain
Eurylochus.
Six hundred men.
(Six hundred men.)
Six hundred men,
with big mouths to feed.
And we’ve run
out of supplies to eat.
(Curse the war,
our food store’s depleted.)
Six hundred men.
(Six hundred men.)
Six hundred reasons
to take what we can.
So captain what’s the plan?
(Captain, what’s the plan?)
Watch when the birds fly.
(Watch where the birds fly.)
They will lead us to land.
(They will lead us to land.)
There we’ll hunt for food,
my second in command.
Now full speed ahead.
We’re up, we’re off,
and away we go.
(Full speed ahead.)
We’re up, we’re off,
and away we go.
(Full speed ahead.)
We’re up, we’re off,
and away we go.
Captain
Polites!
Look!
There in the distance,
I see an island.
I see a light that faintly glows.
Maybe they’re people
lighting a fire?
Maybe they’ll share some food,
who knows?
Something feels off here.
I see fire but there’s no smoke.
I say we strike first,
we don’t have time to waste.
So, let’s raid the place and-
No! Polites gear up.
You and I’ll go ahead.
(You and I’ll go ahead.)
We should try to find a way
no one ends up dead.
(We don’t know what’s ahead.)
Give me til sun rise
and if we don’t return
then six hundred men
can make this whole place burn.
Now, full speed ahead.
(Full speed ahead.)
(Full speed ahead.)
We’re up, we’re off,
and away we go.
We’re up, we’re off,
and away we go.
(Full speed ahead.)
We’re up, we’re off,
and away we go.
We’re up, we’re off,
and full speed ahead.
Thanks and all! But, The video already shows the lyrics 😅

@@molly_parker_1847 Ahhh! I see!
We're up, we're off and away we go!
So catchy, I love it!
And mother always told me be careful of who you love
They found the cows by following where the birds flew.... they were always destined to die. They gained oddys knowledge but never the wisdom....
*spoilers*

600 men, I guess one sacrifice for each mile
🤷♀
I am so happy I found this
I love these songs!! I just wish I knew the story
It's the story of odesseus (I think that's how you write it but I'm reaaaally not sure) it's a character from the odyssée written by homer in the greek mythology
Another spelling is The Odyssey and Odysseus
@@AGeekCalledKatherine woops , thx for correcting me, I tend to confuse French language and the English one 😅
@@nimshithaw5790 no worries at all! ☺️ Classical spelling is a minefield no matter the language! I studied Classics at Uni and my Professor said that as long as you’re spelling the word the same way each time you’re fine 😂😂
You can read the story from Homero
This is all really good!
thank you laynar 🤭
does anyone know what key this song is in?
Someone do an animation of this song and I'll subscribe to your channel
it's your lucky day. look at what WolfyTheWitch recently posted: ruclips.net/video/Wm_Ayf_adXo/видео.html
No audio?
