Are you talking about the captains daughter line? That was a nickname for a cat o nine tails, aka a flogger.


I'll be damned. I didn't know that. Thanks a million.


> Some much much better versions

Just open MIDI file in MuseScore (or MMPZ file in LMMS) and improve it ;)

I just played[0] with speeding it from 120BPM to 240BPM.

And here is lyrics video[1] composed with famous Ukrainian animation "How the Cossacks cooked kulish"[2,3]

I don't think was posted because of its sound quality, but because it was implemented using an OPL2 aka https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamaha_YM3812


> sound quality

To be clear, there also MMPZ & MIDI (score) files available, so you may do anything to "improve" quality by editing it with LMMS or MuseScore apps, even by fully replacing instruments or much deeper mixing ;)


Those were much, much more enjoyable to listen to.

Another better one, synthesized rather than recorded: https://youtu.be/idXYwYgcFEs (Cylob)


Great Big Sea’s version is my favourite:
