Sea shanties may be trending on TikTok, but the U.S. Navy wants you to know that they were into the genre first -- so much so, that the U.S. Navy Band took to Twitter to share its sea-shanty rendition of Taylor Swift’s Red single “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.”
Featuring a thumping, shanty-esque beat, violins and a five-part vocal harmony, members of the Navy Band chant the lyrics, even putting their own spin on the second verse’s "indie record" line: “And you would hide away and find your peace of mind/ With some TikTok video that's much cooler than mine,” the female vocalist sings, nodding to the growing sea-shanty trend on the popular video sharing platform.
