One of the best-loved of all Northumbrian folk songs, 'When the Boat Comes In' is perhaps as well known under its alternative title 'Dance to your Daddy'. The subject - the fisherman/father's return from the sea - is heavily laced with references to alcohol... so heavily in fact that one gets the impression that the whole family is incapable!
The track appears on a new CD by the guy who played the original tv advert, Andy Findon. You can download it for 99p at www.andyfindon.com. The rest of the cd's interesting too.
