又名《新西兰船歌》或《水手之歌》，是2021年洗脑神曲。一位英国乡村音乐爱好者Nathan Evan在抖音上传了自己表演英国海员号子的视频，竟出人意料地席卷了英语国家。
歌词内容讲的是水手们等待澳大利亚捕鲸公司Weller Brothers供给茶叶、蔗糖和朗姆的情形。
“The Wellerman”的不同演绎版本在Youtube等视频网站上拥有上百万次的点击量。这首歌迅速走红，获得了四百四十万的观看次数，模仿人数猛增，“船员号子”（#seashanty）的话题标签自成一体，相关音乐视频获得了超过七千万的流量。Evan后又录制了“Drunken Sailor”一曲的视频，并在六天内获得了四十万的观看量；而他自己，也因为海歌狂潮获得了音乐公司的正式签约、发行自己的独立唱片，并顺理成章地登上了全国音乐榜前三。
Wellerman歌词：
There once was a ship that put to sea
The name of the ship was the Billy of Tea
The winds blew up her bow dipped down
O blow my bully boys blow huh
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day when the tonguin' is done
We'll take our leave and go
She had not been two weeks from shore
When down on her a right whale bore
The captain called all hands and swore
He'd take that whale in tow huh
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day when the tonguin' is done
We'll take our leave and go
Before the boat had hit the water
The whale's tail came up and caught her
All hands to the side harpooned and fought her
When she dived down low huh
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day when the tonguin' is done
We'll take our leave and go
No line was cut no whale was freed
The captain's mind was not of greed
And he belonged to the Whaleman's creed
She took that ship in tow huh
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day when the tonguin' is done
We'll take our leave and go
For forty days or even more
The line went slack then tight once more
All boats were lost there were only four
But still that whale did go
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day when the tonguin' is done
We'll take our leave and go
As far as I've heard the fight's still on
The line's not cut and the whale's not gone
The Wellerman makes his regular call
To encourage the captain crew and all
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day when the tonguin' is done
We'll take our leave and go
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day when the tonguin' is done
We'll take our leave and go
