Staying behind on a sinking ship is platonic practical love. During a lifeboat evacuation, there is a risk that the larger sinking ship will pull those boats down with it. If the rudder and other systems are still working, our Captain will move the ship away from the evacuation zone and give the crew a better chance to survive.
You're absolutely right. Based on her tone, I'm pretty sure she's saying it that way entirely to get that kind of reaction that was achieved by the guy on the left. It's a joke to make insecure guys mad.
Yeah, this is way closer to how I understood it; Cap's not asexual or anything, he's simply a good guy who, umm, does NOT sexually assault his shipmates.
First we got a women who seemingly believes that men choose to die in a sinking ship to hang out and make out. Then we got a dude who way to fervently denies this claim. Then we get a song that has no right being a banger. Sometimes the internet delivers true gold.
@@Sootielove there are so many of them in that bubble of yt and ticktock that it isn't a joke anymore for many of them. i don't know if that is the case in this one or not but there are many who are as serius as the flat earthers.
@@dovos8572Life is way more fun if you automatically assume everyone of those people is joking. And then if you ever run into one, double down and refuse to accept that they're not joking. Like the other side has a similar problem, but they usually sound so angry about it. And it would be hilarious to just constantly accuse them of joking.
The best content that comes out of Tiktok is when funny and/or talented people who have never met or spoken to each other all collaborate to elevate a goofy throwaway joke into something truly special.

To be fair, I don't think he's aro or ace (probably one but not both), considering he got a wife. He could be married for not love related reasons tho ig
It's called the Birkenhead drill. During the Boer War, a ship called the HMS Birkenhead was sinking when the order came down women and children into the lifeboats first. All of the soldiers were ordered to stand at attention on the deck and only to move when called upon to help. They could only move when the water was up to their chins...and they did it.

Having read the comments on the short version, it seems like a lot of people thought/hoped it was a song about being ace. I hope you can find inspiration for an actual ace song, because ace representation is sorely needed!
He’s written another song with Captain Platonic in it that heavily, heavily implies the good captain is, in fact, ace. Check out Beware the Siren when you get the chance.
No, this is still alright ace representation. Not aro, but being asexual doesn't automatically mean you don't do any physical intimacy at all. And it doesn't mean you can't have a family. It's a spectrum, our good Asexual captain just likes to have a beer with the boys on occasion. I don't condone doing it behind the wife's back, but let's just pretend this is something they've both agreed on.
My ace friend pointed that out to me whenever I was telling her about an aro/ace character in my writing. She was like PLEASE WE NEED REPRESENTATION. Ironically he’s a poet/bard character 😅
To be fair, I don't think he's aro or ace (probably one but not both), considering he got a wife. He could be married for not love related reasons tho ig, which would make it possible that he's aroace. (Also I'm remembering now that he could be somewhere on the aroace spectrum except for strict aroace)
@@Original_Username0 I'm on the aro spectrum as a demiromantic. Meaning I don't feel romantic attraction unless I have a deep connection to someone. So someone can be aro and still feel romantic love. And people who are aro are capable of love, it just might not look like what other people expect romantic love to look like.
@@Original_Username0 It's okay! You are willing to learn and correct yourself and that's appreciated. Not a lot of people are familiar with it being a spectrum. Same goes for ace people. Generally they have no interest in sex and while some are sex repulsed, others will be fine to have it if their partners want to, they just don't seek it out themselves. :3 There isn't as much rep for aro or ace individuals so a lot of people don't even think of it as being a spectrum. Defo need more representation
@@KorinoTsubasa23 thanks :) yeah, I wish there was more aro/ace rep, they're always either the complete ends, or both together, which is good, but if it's everything then it makes it harder to notice the other possibilities
Ragazzo , hai un sorriso da rivitalizzare un depresso . Quanta gioia di vivere , la sprizzi da ogni poro . Meno male che a questo mondo , esistono persone così. Complimenti 👍👏👍👍
Always so humble... hehe. You know damn well that your voice and looks make it impossible to ruin any song, you could sing a serenade to a garbage pit and we still love it. Hope I didnt give you inspiration.... :)

Oh honey it’s alright. Lots of kids go through a Captain Plutonic phase. Why I remember mine like it was yesterday. I remember having similar fights with my parents too insisting that it “wasn’t a phase”. I know it’s hard but we’ll get through this together. 💙💙💙/hj
/hj ---> which part is a joke ? Because I'm asexual, closing on 30, discovered I was asexual in my early/mid twenties... So I don't really feel at ease with the "it's a phase" with a "I'm joking but not completely" which makes one wonder which part is a joke.
@@ip.3117 I grew up religious I insisted I was completely straight before leaving and later accepting I like girls too.

tbh the original tiktok is clearly a joke e.g. "Why do you want to fight? So you have the excuse to touch other men??" sort of hyperbole

"That is one of the dumbest songs, I think, I have ever written."
Yet, it's such a bop. Like, holy crap, it was beautiful. Good job, again, Vinny!
this exactly. lol you and Carter Vale, just full of ridiculous lyrics and rockin' beats.
A true aromantic icon. The only ship he sails is his own!
I also love the green lighting hinting at it
He is married! He just loves his wife!

Hell yeah.

How dare the woman reveal our most treasured secrets
Hahahahaha as a female sailor who is the captain of her own ship I absolutely love this shanty 🤣 sharing it with my sailing buddies for sure.

The cap goes down with the ship, they say
(The cap goes down with the ship, they say)
The only way he's going down today

He bid his wife a last adieu
And never ever did touch his crew
So temper you rumor
You shan't listen to her
The cap going way down's
Got one thing to say now,
(NUH UHH
NO
STOP
THAT'S NOT TRU...)
Here comes captain platonic
(tonic)
And if he could get some, he still wouldn't want it, no
Here comes captain platonic

And he'll never let them say he's in the closet, no
But rumor spread that his love had strayed

To his crew, his affection paid

And with his rock solid alibi

I clicked on this thinking this would be a song about debunking "friend zoning" but I like this more!
Also, your hair is glorious!
Well he *is* an elf. Of course his hair is amazing

The secret is the crew is all in a poly queer-platonic relationship *pass it on*
Ahh hell yeah this is the hardest sea shanty 🔥🔥💯💯
I absolutely love it.
Capt. Platonic will now be a character in the dnd campaign that I run
Please let him speak in innuendos constantly while being completely oblivious to them.

If endorphin existed in the form of sound - this is your voice
Such an aroace song thats all thats going through my mind. Hes like: hm? No i, i just like my ship. I don't understand.
Sometimes silliness is what’s needed. And this song delivers
I love the cheeky double entendre of “going down”. It’s the “i’m technically still a virgin” caption.
Anyone picturing Captain Platonic as Deniro in Stardust? Just me? 😉
Yes! Absolutely!! I mean what was that line between Septimus and Captain Shakespeare about "Snow White" 😂
Damn dude is good...
And I mean that in the platonic sense 😂.
Geez, if the ship is sinking, the last thing on your mind would be nookie!
"Hey, baby ill get you wet-- wait no not like that!"
That guy's reaction is hilarious. I am pretty certain she was trolling for a reaction like that.
0:23 I can't be the only person who thinks that he sounds like an actual siren!
Nope! I 100% agree
*waiting for Bear Don't Care*
Same here!
That was fantastic! I am off to work now and I'm sure the song will be running through my head all day, as it is welcome to do so!
I’m so happy this has a music video.
This song SLAPS 👋

I swear to god, me and my mates keep on relistening to this one. You are absolutely great, Vinny!!
I never knew how much I needed this song-
Oh my god. I just noticed "Captain Platonic Out Now--BUT NOT THAT WAY!"
I love the aro/ace representation, even if it's silly! Vinny, you never fail to deliver hilarious, incredible or wholesome songs.
YES FINALLY
A SONG FOR ME!
This deserves to be a summer hit!
You know what? I love dumb songs, and people should write more of them!
This song is AMAZING! I love it!!!🖤🖤🖤🖤 such talent! To take a make a whole song from that video! And his voice is amazing!
Cooper, LavenderTowne, Louis, AND Vinny? All my favs are posting!
I heard the short for the first time less than five minutes ago and this hit way too hard. I absolutely loved it.❤
An absolute banger
The world grows
this has no right to be so catchy
I LOVE it! OMG the lyrics, timed pauses and execution, it's BEAUTIFUL!
Sometimes the dumb stuff ends up being the best. IMO keep doing what makes you happy even if is writing dumb stuff.
I'm so in love with the current songs you are posting !
Flip, it’s been a while since I’ve laughed so hard while jamming to such a solid banger of a song 🤣
Honestly, I expected a rare song about Platonic Love, but this is waaaaay funnier that what I originally thought xD
As a seafarer, I laughed sooooo hard!
Stumled on to one of your videos the other day, and now I'm hooked 😊 you have such a beautiful voice. Looking forward to more songs.
I needed this today. The laugh was totally worth it!
This was fabulous. Thank you so much for this :). Gave me lots of serotonin
😂 I like your sense of humor. 😂 You made my evening. Thank You!
I loved it !!!! I laughed and had to immediately send it to my friend that I send your stuff to ❤
Love this song, just so catchy.
We can always count on Vinny for a chuckle and a great melody- that's for the pep!
Idk what kind of music this is I’ve found but it’s my new fav 😂
I'm loving the music you are making like that 🤩
Love it and I am proud to be a patreon supporting your work! Keep going. Yeah!
Cheers mate! Keep it up, I understand the struggle of animation, good luck to you mate! I'll be here for the ride!!
Good one! Thanks for the smile.
Early!! Vinny I love your music sm and your voice is absolutely majestic!! Tysm !!
That is a fun little song and hilarious to boot.
Always so humble... hehe. You know damn well that your voice and looks make it impossible to ruin any song, you could sing a serenade to a garbage pit and we still love it. Hope I didnt give you inspiration.... :)

We finally get a song for the guy who saved tise and her lover (this was in the song beware the siren)
As someone who’s aromantic and loves sea shanties and folk songs, I love this song so much and will come back to listen again and again
I am so glad this now exists. I can’t express how much I love this song
Ack! This was so distracting that I burned my breakfast!
Well as an aro ace person, I know it's not an aroace song but ima casualy claim this thanks
This is amazing!
Vinny, your music is wonderful. Sort of the Tom Lehrer of the 2020s
Came here from your instagram, you’re freaking funny and awesome!!!

"and if he could get some he still wouldn't want it"
