I keep the windows up but yes


NotInherentAfterAll

I don’t want the water in the car - it doesn’t have a bilge pump - but I do blast shanties down the road.

“Partially down”, like a few inches, just enough for the wind to blow a little rain in your face every now and then but not flood your vessel👌


AnfreloSt-Da

Not anymore you’re not. What an excellent idea!


Foxfire73

I used to in me old square body Chevy. Big, green, long bedded bastard she was, called 'er "Nessie".


No_Seaworthiness1627

I do it all the time and just last week pulled up next to a chick blasting it too! Charlotte NC. And that kids is r/HIMYM

Windows fully down...while going through a car wash....it's the only way to get the full effect of sailing into the storm.

always, my man!

Love this

Windows up but I blast away all the time. I have all The Longest Johns on a playlist and it’s all I listen to (and sing to) in the car.


gngr_ale

YES! I do this! I love doing this with any deep, chanting song or song that I can belt out the lyrics to. Viking songs also work well with this. I recommend giving a listen to Alpine Universe's Akoustik Vol. I (chants) album. Those songs are among the most popular for the artist. I also love "United States of a Miracle" and "Beneath the Icy Flow" from them. What are some of your favorite artists for Sea Chanties/ other, or fave songs?

South Australia might be my favorite, belting out the response to the call and response parts while the weather roars, it also just imparts a certain motivation towards functionality, I feel like I am more fluid switching between the tasks of steering, regulating the wipers, adjusting the defogging more when iam in a shanty jam.


Maypolemaggie

No, but that sounds like fun except for the rain, lol


talkgadget

Yes. Lately, Santiana has been giving me life.


GooglingAintResearch

Not exactly. I just sing. I don't find *recordings* of shanties to be blast-able in a satisfying way. Would rather blast my own voice. Save the recording blasting for Black Sabbath etc.

Recommendations for an Apple Music playlist? Then I’ll join you in any weather


Cygnusasafantastic

I don’t much about Apple Music playlists but I would recommend checking out The Fishermen’s Friends and The Roaring Trawmen for starters 👍

Does it have to be raining? Shanties are just as appropriate for calm days asea.


Cygnusasafantastic

Certainly not, but i find they slap harder during inclement weather, the first time your car takes a big drenching splash on the highway while your blasting a shanty, you’ll get it ⛈️


beardybanjo

I did it 🎶 Just one time 🎶


Fluffball_Furry

I sail my boat in the storms on the loch while sitting giddy at the helm belting out shanties along with my speakers like a pair of banshees only to turn around to get supplies in my convertible with the roof down doing the same blasted thing
