Subject: Skipp-errrrr!
Pretty average song (I'm sure this could be classified as a "drinking song" which features an old sailor explaining to some new sailors about the time he was shipwrecked on an island of native girls! You can imagine the sexism on display here, but it's somewhat fun. Watch the girl on the right side poking the old sailor, then how the girl on the left kisses him, like she doesnt want to get her lipstick smeared lol.

Subject: Sex-hungry sarong girls on parade!
An older, experienced sailer meets two young recruits in a bar. They've just been dumped by two girls and... No, it's not what your thinking. The old man, his name is Dan Magee ("I've sailed the sea") simply goes on a musical yarn about how he got shipwrecked on an island full of Dorothy Lamour stand-ins (apparently all of occidental leniage) who totally wore him out with a night of love-making. Castle Anthrax anyone? Stupid and actually fairly innocent (the girlies all keep their sarongs carefully wrapped around their lythe boddies), but it's worth watching.
