My mental image of this is that this was just a normal sized duck being handled by comically incompetent sailors.
comically incompetent and dismembered sailors if I might add
or perhaps competent sailors just very scared and incompetent at killing it
quak
I don’t know why, but I think this is Edward playing with Haytham at a lake (sorry, I love black flag)
I now want this as a play
When the DM wants to give your party a challenge but you're level 1.
Thanks for the idea
Actually now that I think about it I have a pirate campaign coming up soon
OMG our DM recently made us fighting "deadly ducks", so that's accurate
*When the DM gives you an easy encounter at level 1 and the only thing you did right was tell a good story about it afterwards
our gm is actually having us fight a cr16 moby duck tonight xD
This song is NSFW due to all the fowl language.
Get the duck outta here
bezerkoid duck off mate
go sit in the corner and think about what you have done
@@keeperofthetriforce7 okay
*Waddles to corner*
@@keeperofthetriforce7 I apologize for my flighty behavior. Like a duck realizing he is hanging with the wrong crowd, I made a stupid flocking mistake.
The Quacken: Finally, a worthy opponent, our battle will be legendary!
REALASE THE QUACKEN!!!
. . . Quacken.
Quacken.
Quacken!
QUACKEN!
QUACKEN!QUACKEN!QUACKEN!
. . . Thanks. I needed that.
☠Quack Sparrow☠ 🙄
No I just used the pfp when everyone spammed oh yeah yeah and im too lazy to remove it.
Just wait for the sequel, where the victor battles Quacthulu
"You wanna go fight a duck?"
"Sure! It's just a duck"
*Pulls out comically oversized duck*
*King Bach then pulls out a comically large duck*
@@l_ndonmusic The joke is that the person asked to fight a duck thinks he will just be fighting a small duck, however, it is funny because of the fact that king bach pulls out a comically oversized duck, so he will be fighting a strong duck, not a small one.
i just think a 10 meter high duck
*The comically oversized duck*
this song sounds like a Monty Python skit
I want a musical drama of this song produced by Monty Python.
So true 😅
If only the sailors had a holy hand grenade...
This song was definitely made by musicians that got drunk
“Hey, hey, hey!”
“Yeah? What?”
“You know that new book thats about a massive whale and a captain trying to kill it”
“Yeah, moby dick”
“Thats it.. but, what if we.... **takes swig of alcohol** what if it was a duck?”
“...... that sounds like an amazing idea!”
"made by musicians that got drunk"
As it should be for a sea shanty.
But of course! Drunk is the best way to make a sea shanty, as everyone knows.
No amazing idea of such magnitude began while drinking water. Just saying.
Ah yes, when you need a song and you get drunk
"MoBy DiCkItY, OOOOOOOOOOOOO I HaS aN iDeA fOr A sOnG! mObY dIcK bUt ItS a DuCk"
*"PeRfEcT"*
I just thought it would be a child who said wrong tbh
And when the song is over, cut to the guy in his bathtub cheering at the skewered rubber ducky bobbing in the water.
Truly a horrific sight.
@@ee-ys8mq quite mortifying really.
Not a rubber ducky those things are too cute for that
This sounds like the kind of story that comes from everybody in a rpg party rolling terribly but still manage to embellish the story in song.
The bard was the only one with good rolls that night.
@@Woodledude he ate more then rolls that night
This needs to be animated. I demand a music video 😂😂😂
I need to learn to animate and so this
If you find a video of that you need to like it in this comment for us

This needs live action!
After fourteen years, I left the sea for life upon a lake
After all the storms I'd seen, I needed a good break
I thought still waters would mean peace for me, but that was a mistake
For the place I chose was bedeviled... by a giant evil drake!
A mallard of such malice, twice the size of any man
A bill to give you nightmares, and a monstrous wingspan
You cannot hope to fight it, so avoid him if you can
That terrifying waterfowl, the beast beyond the dam
Row-ho! Row-ho! Row with all our might
Row with harpoons loaded, and spoiling for a fight
Row-ho! Row-ho! And with any luck
We'll win the day and do away the dreaded Moby Duck!
I'm not one for surrender, so a vengeful oath I swore
I gathered up me hearties, like so many times before
We shod our ship with weapons, and prepared to go to war
'Till that fetid, feathered, fearsome flying duck would breathe no more
(Chorus)
There was bonny, brave Marie who to her arms had waved goodbye
And Handsome Jack whose duck attack left him without an eye
The Darby twins with one leg each on deck were standing by
Only a couple dozen limbs between a crew of twenty-five
(Chorus)
The fight raged on for several hours, defend and then attack
With beatings from those wicked wings, our boat began to crack
The beast reared up to finish the job, and with a mighty quack,
*Q U A C K*
I wrapped my harpoon in his throat and made a tasty snack!
Row-ho! Row-ho! Row us back to shore!
We'll drag his broken body back and roast it on an oar
Row-ho! Row-ho! Barbecue the beast!
With hoisin sauce and pancakes, we will have the biggest feast!
Oh, row-ho! Row-ho! Row with all our might!
We rowed with harpoons loaded, and spoiling for a fight
Row-ho! Row-Ho! We had all the luck!
We won the day and did away the dreaded Moby Duck!
We won the day and did away the dreaded Moby Duck!
*Quack!*
thank you!
cheers mate!
pretty sure it's "rammed my harpoon in his throat" but I'm not completely sure about the chorus, thelongestsong says it's "row with our guns loaded" but when listening I always hear harpoons too...
Its "bonnie brave marie who to her arms had waved goodbye"
@@carton5235 thank you!
Thank you very much.
"Only a couple dozen limbs between a crew of twenty-five"
I can't get the mental image of Torsoboy rowing with his teeth out of my head.
Or sheamus from family guy with four peg limbs
See this means there is a large portion of the crew with no limbs.
you guys do realize people have 5 limbs right?
@@itswhoyouthinkitis4441 No the head it now a liver.
According to wikipedia the normal number of limbs is 4, so if we wish to model this, we now have x = k * 12 with x ranging [24 ; 100]
I love the way the key changes after they win.
lol and I thought i was all clever by noticing that. I should've scrolled farther down to your comment. It's not exactly a key change, the chords just go from minor to major to give it a "lift" :-)
@@ChrisBrunelle also ot basically plays row row row your boat, since this song wasn't playful enough
This is certainly all that it is quacked up to be.
*points to the door* out XD
This joke was foul
You will be fined for such a terrible pun.
Expect the bill within 4 to 7 days.
fireflyserenity31 oh no, I’m being PUNished
@@codyriddle1424 yes; I imagine you feel rather crummy about it right now.
Emu war 2.0
Except they win
quack
Lmao 😂
Electric boogaloo
No this is emu war 1.0
You’ve been out on this lake for weeks. you would guess it’s around 2am, you’re resting below deck, you hear a distant yet heavy flapping. suddenly you hear the crew on deck on night watch scrambling, their boots knocking dust from the planks above your head. You climb on deck and see the nigh sky lit by a full moon go dark as the silhouette of some great bird flys above. You hear the command “all men on deck” so you climb the rest of the way up and man a harpoon. You’ve lost sight of the beast but you can hear a distant quack echoing off the water. It could be a mile away and you’d hear it on the still water of the lake. It then swoops down, shattering the main mast and your crew opens fire. The fight persists until dawn, three men carried away, several more out of their minds. The crew is determined to take this beast down so they start chumming the water with hardtack, you hear something moving in the water and spot the the menace gently pecking at the water, it’s beady eyes staring back at you. The thing could keep a crew of 20 happily fed for weeks but you’re too stunned to shoot until it lets out a deafening noise. A quack that leaves your ears ringing bellows out from a bill the size of your forearm. It lunges at the boat, to peck but you squeeze the trigger as it lifts it’s head and your harpoon sinks into its neck, stopping the beast mid strike. The rest of your crew put their harpoons into the slain beast to pull it up onto the deck. You return to your bunk to sleep off the the nights work.
Wow I really got into that...
can i use this for a report
Shia LeDuckque
I'm definitely going to be trying to put this in my dnd game
@@titanhunter5085 I’ve never had the honor of having anything I’ve Written be put in a D&D game, thank you!
I love musicians that dont take themselves too seriously and do stuff like this
"Only a couple dozen limbs between a crew of 25." This line is made even funnier when you do the math and realize that's one limb per person except for one, which means they brought some poor sap along that has no arms or legs; and that's assuming each person has only one limb. For every person that has more than one limb, that's one extra limbless person getting on the boat to fight this thing.
Suddenly this thoroughly explains why a crew of 25 sailors struggled to fight a duck, because they literally have a fourth of the total limbs they should have and that's hilarious. The fact they managed to do anything at all is incredible.
@@brokenezra6577 A couple dozen limbs (24) between a crew of 25. People generally have 4 limbs (2 arms, 2 legs), wouldn't you agree?
This deserves a music video
It’ll happen...
@@thelongestjohnsthere better be the great Canadian inflatable duck in it
@@thelongestjohns borrow the rubber duck from James veitch
there's an animation
@@breakfastboy7720 Or from Alestorm
Just played a DND one shot based on this song
It was glorious.
I need details
@@gabriellecalebq4410 Basically, we were on a quest to kill a monster called Moby Duck(which was based on the descriptions made in this song). A few things happened:
Me Kenku rogue, copied Moby Duck's mating call, later attracting all of Moby Duck's minions and having an intense battle where it felt like my party was going against an army.
Going down into an underwater dungeon to fight off Moby Duck with my friends.
Filling up an entire boat with bread for some reason(I think it's cause we thought we could use bread to lure out Moby Duck).
Stabbing Moby Duck in the eye. Also, our party made the beast cry.
Wow I was actually planning on doing this too!
I'll do this too one day xD
I think about using the "Winter wolf" (CR 3) for stats and reflavour it
and maybe also a "Conjure Animals" to dummon 8 goose with stats of velociraptors or something, we'll see ^^
My bud did this for April's fools this year without telling any of us about this song or what we were up against until we starting fighting it. It was absolutely amazing.
MOBY DUCC, HE ATTACC, HE SMACC, BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, HE QUACC
The parents: awwwwwwww, isn't it cute how the kids play?
Me and the squad:
Hol up a couple dozen is about 24. 25 people 4 limbs. 24 limbs out of a potential 100. A little over 1 limb per person. That's horrifying thought
And with some pepole with 2 limbs so some have 0
it could be as high as 48 ish which leaves 2 limbs per person but agreed it’s still horrifying.
@Callum Penny no duck could do that... it had to have been a *swan*
@@randomwanderer2983 or even worse.....a Canadian goose
now that's some big duck energy!
I hate this so much
I love your profile picture!
Am I the only one that took several times listening to this to figure out to realize it's to the theme of row row row you boat?
Only took about 3 times but yeah XD
You just shattered my sense of reality
kinda feeling like "Retirement Song" is the prequel to this.
OMG UR SO RIGHT
A moment of silence for those that fell to Moby Duck. Fair winds and following seas to you lost souls.
The only beast the moby duck fears
Is the killer bunny
Seriously though does anyone else get major monty python vibes??
Im sure if the pythons werent either dead or old they would make a skit based on this song
@@carton5235 oh definitely lol
Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch brother Maynard carrying around
Yep
This song just reminds me of the giant rubber duck that just sits in a Canadian harbor
I am running a Pirate themed D&D campaign. And I had an encounter with a giant duck and played this song over it.
Why does Quackthulu from Critical Role come to mind? LOL
I knew I'd find atleast one comment 🤣
Hecc yes!!!!!!!! I’m not alone!!!!!!!
It's Quackthulu's distant cousin, the Moby Duck
Lest we forget The Quacken
This song should play in Don't Starve when fighting Moose/Goose
That was my entire thought listening to this song!
ADEQUACK
My favourite bit is how the line "only a couple dozen limbs between a crew of twenty five" implies there is at least one crew member with no limbs at all
Just remember; this song came from the same guys that brought us the deep, thoughtful, and painfully sad _Bones in the Ocean._ :P
Now that I'm staring down at the darkest abyss
I'm not sure what I want but I don't think it's this
@@tomjackal5708 I want this
Quack!
"With beatings from those wicked wings" is such a great line!
Explaination please?
I'm a sucker for "a mallard of such malice, twice the size of any man". The alliteration is on point
fetid, feathered, fearsome flying duck is my favourite but the line about the feast and and malard of such malice are up there too.
Not sure if they have it at KFC in England, but in New Zealand “Wicked Wings” are crispy spicy wings you can get - which just makes that line even more gold!
Till the fetid, feathered, fearsome, flying f- DUCK!
I want to make a D&D encounter based on this song alone, who wants to help me stat Moby Duck?
Mabey just double all normal duck stats
No make it an actual boss encounter that's all quacked up with dialogue and everything and everything before revealing itself to be just a regular duck just with one extra health point
U should only be able to strike it in the neck
my partner made a stat block for a swan hydra, he's using it for a boss fight in his next session - will report back on how moby-duck-ish the encounter is!
@@bumbobrumbo triple
I am reminded of Untitled Goose Game
My daughters love this, just uttering '...and with a mighty quaaack...' makes them smile, and they always nail the timing!
You make me feel all these emotions and hit me with moby duck? This is a roller coaster
the people who disliked were attacked and beaten by a duck
This is what happens when you don’t got any grapes.
Critical Role? Quackthulhu anyone?
That's exactly what I was thinking!
Is anyone else feeling the drums?
Yuup!
This is the final boss the Australians would've faced if they won the emu wars
So, I might be wrong but I am 90% sure this song is to the tune of "row your boat."
Nice.
I love this silly song so much. (Though I always trip over "fetid, feathered, fearsome flying duck" ;-; )
I've actually made a poster called "The Quacken" that suits this song very well. 🦆
Funny coincidence. ^^
Never forget that as it stands, it’s the singer who gives a mighty quack at the end
I'm just imagining a kid piloting toy remote control pirate ship that's getting chased by a duck.
"'Till the fetid, feathered, fearsome flying fu- I mean, duck..."
The two dislikes are from Moby Duck's parents
The musical twist of this being a strange remix of Row Row Row your Boat sends me.
Well the duck definitely met a foul end
I think you mean "fowl" end
Remember playing a warhammer fantasy roleplay campaign once with some mates. The first challenge the GM had for our squad, which consisted of a troll slayer (myself) plus a magicians apprentice, mercenary and knight errant. The Challenge was to sail from Marienburg to the wasteland bogs to kill a mysterious creature.turned out it was a chaos mutated frog! Funnest game ever!
Clever how after the duck dies the chorus goes from minor to major chords
everyone can talk about the greatness of ashes and oakashthorn but this fucking SLAPS.
quite adequack indeed
I fist-fought a chicken once, the experience was quite similar
Dave that is BEAUTIFUL
Moby Duck update to sea of thieves when?
Tis the white Quackon! The dreaded Moby Duck! Ahab's got his work cut out for him.
This song sounds like a story an old duck hunter would tell
Anyone else think AleStorm should cover this song? They have a giant duck
This duck is actually the great grandfather of the Duck Song one
I turned this into a dnd monster. The battle was epic!
I could Imagine this guy singing this, is drunk and telling a fish (duck) tale then he points to a normal duck mounted on the wall and said that’s the “Moby Duck”
This is hilarious and I love it!
I've loved you guys since I found you last year. How did I miss.lololol
sounds like one hell of a misadventure
Absolutely Adequack
Wait, is this song litterally about a sailor who retired in exchange for a quiet life on a river/lake home only to get into a scuffle with a duck one day out while in his kayak? 😂
I just realized that one of the lines is a Borderlands reference.
"And Handsome Jack whose duck attack left him without an eye"
Can't decide if I like this more or Quack Kills by Psychostick.
Give it three retellings and you have whats in the book
Just realized trumpet is playing row row row your boat at the end
Sounds like something the dreadnoughts would make
Handsome Jack? Darby twins? I'm sorry, but as someone who knows both Borderlands and Jojo, I'm just imagining the characters fighting a giant duck, though given what has been seen in both franchises, it wouldn't be the strangest things ever.
“Till that fetid feathered fearsome flying duck will breathe no more” what alliteration! Wow!
Imagine if a new sea monster was added to Sea of Thieves...and it's the Moby Duck?!
The uninterested quack at 2:07 and at the end just makes this song that much funnier
Monster Hunter, but Brits.
I listen to this song, and it’s just popped into my mind whether this can be remade into a Dark Souls version, I’m envisioning Moby Duck being replaced with Darkeater Midir.
they didn't have any grapes.
only a couple limbs between a crew of 25... that means at least one member of the crew has no limbs at all XDDD
Makes me think of a group of old sailors who are fed up with a big ass ornery duck at their favorite fishing lake, so they went out together with a row boat and beat the shit out of it, who exaggerated the encounter
This has the same energy as the Australian Emu War
Since you guys seem to be making music videos to go with your old songs, I would like to recommend this one about six thousand times.
I just realized it’s a swan and not a duck. Moby Dick is a white whale my translation of the name. It should be a white duck Moby duck twice the size of any man with a monster wingspan. It’s a swan they fought a swan.
Change it from “Moby Duck” to “Dire Duck” and you’ve got the theme song for an excellent D&D 1-shot
311,468 views? i'm sure i've replayed this more than that.
'tis the rise of Quackthulu!
Perhaps they fought this duck during the journey mentioned in *The Curse* maybe he told people this story and they didn't believe him and therefore that particular verse in *The Curse* "i curse you yourself with the doubts that you show".
I know I'm not explaining this properly but there's definitely a link!!
THE LONGEST JOHNS RULE!!
you're living by a lake. there's no pirates around and you've retired from sailing. then, out of the corner of your eye, you spot him...
*moby duck*
I'd like to think its a goose and not a duck. It just feels right-
All I can think of is the freaking Duck of Doom from Munchkin
I just went to war with a couple of moths while listening to this
Cures what Ails Ya was the best thing 2020 could bring to me
