Advent 16

Now for one beloved of carousing rugby players - I particularly remember singing this in the company of my fellow-travellers at King's. We were young and stupid but ultimately harmless, passing our wild days before entering the forbidding adult world that was the early-eighties. I suspect most of us did alright in the end.

The song's history is as a Bahamian folk tune, recorded by many but mastered by the Beach Boys, probably the most accessible track on their seminal Pet Sounds album. Sloop John B.
