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
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.
"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*
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
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 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 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.
"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]
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
Challenge accepted
@@hyplixo8838 Roblox isn’t animation
This needs live action!
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.
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.
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!
"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?
MOBY DUCC, HE ATTACC, HE SMACC, BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, HE QUACC
I am running a Pirate themed D&D campaign. And I had an encounter with a giant duck and played this song over it.
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.
I love musicians that dont take themselves too seriously and do stuff like this
Emu war 2.0
Except they win
quack
Lmao 😂
Electric boogaloo
No this is emu war 1.0
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
now that's some big duck energy!
I hate this so much
I love your profile picture!
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
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
The parents: awwwwwwww, isn't it cute how the kids play?
Me and the squad:
"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!
I just realized that one of the lines is a Borderlands reference.
"And Handsome Jack whose duck attack left him without an eye"
A moment of silence for those that fell to Moby Duck. Fair winds and following seas to you lost souls.
This song just reminds me of the giant rubber duck that just sits in a Canadian harbor
Till the fetid, feathered, fearsome, flying f- DUCK!
My daughters love this, just uttering '...and with a mighty quaaack...' makes them smile, and they always nail the timing!
Never forget that as it stands, it’s the singer who gives a mighty quack at the end
kinda feeling like "Retirement Song" is the prequel to this.
OMG UR SO RIGHT
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
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!
Dave that is BEAUTIFUL
You make me feel all these emotions and hit me with moby duck? This is a roller coaster
Just realized trumpet is playing row row row your boat at the end
"'Till the fetid, feathered, fearsome flying fu- I mean, duck..."
Sounds like something the dreadnoughts would make
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
This song should play in Don't Starve when fighting Moose/Goose
That was my entire thought listening to this song!
The uninterested quack at 2:07 and at the end just makes this song that much funnier
five bucks says it was a group of drunk people who saw a duck panicked and killed it
The bard in the party telling you about his trip to the park
This is the final boss the Australians would've faced if they won the emu wars
everyone can talk about the greatness of ashes and oakashthorn but this fucking SLAPS.
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? 😂
Imagine if a new sea monster was added to Sea of Thieves...and it's the Moby Duck?!
I turned this into a dnd monster. The battle was epic!
“Till that fetid feathered fearsome flying duck will breathe no more” what alliteration! Wow!
only a couple limbs between a crew of 25... that means at least one member of the crew has no limbs at all XDDD
The musical twist of this being a strange remix of Row Row Row your Boat sends me.
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!!
This is a cure for feeling down if ever there was one - much more than merely adequate.
It definitely... cures what ails ya.
Sometimes birds be like that
Surely I'm not the only one who remembers the Moby Duck skits from "Between the Lions"? Great stuff, happy to be reminded of it.
Quack!
I'm just imagining a kid piloting toy remote control pirate ship that's getting chased by a duck.
ADEQUACK

I'd like to think its a goose and not a duck. It just feels right-
everything about this is amazing
This song is hilarious
All I can think of is the freaking Duck of Doom from Munchkin
Absolutely Adequack
This is what happens when you don’t got any grapes.
Clever how after the duck dies the chorus goes from minor to major chords
Just moved in to the Uni of York and met the famous Long Boi, luckily he's no Moby Duck but thanks to him this song has been one of my favourites in the weeks leading up to coming here
If the duck weighs as much as a duck than it is a witch
sounds like one hell of a misadventure
I've loved you guys since I found you last year. How did I miss.lololol
Well the duck definitely met a foul end
I think you mean "fowl" end
I really like the shift from a threat that looms over constantly before the duck is dead, but suddenly turns triumphant once the beast is dead
low-key need a music video of this
I love the fact that he is going after a duck with a whaling harpoon
Cures what Ails Ya was the best thing 2020 could bring to me
I just went to war with a couple of moths while listening to this
The Quack bit gets me every time. 🤣
I love this silly song so much. (Though I always trip over "fetid, feathered, fearsome flying duck" ;-; )
This song sounds like a story an old duck hunter would tell
Only a couple dozen limbs between a crew of 25. (LOL
25 Veteran Sailors VS Large Duck
My ELA teacher:
Ducks are the super heros that make nightmares go away!
This song by just existing: *Is that a challenge?*
This quacked me up
I was rooting for the duck 🦆
This made me laugh so hard I cried. and for that I am grateful.
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
One of my favorite songs of all of yours.
The quack killed me, I straight up died then
I always figured this was a story of old, retired sailors having some fun.
This duck is actually the great grandfather of the Duck Song one
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 just imagine 25 cripples going duck hunting.
This has the same energy as the Australian Emu War
Give it three retellings and you have whats in the book
I've actually made a poster called "The Quacken" that suits this song very well. 🦆
Funny coincidence. ^^
Tis the white Quackon! The dreaded Moby Duck! Ahab's got his work cut out for him.
This is hilarious and I love it!
