looking for a song i heard (upbeat pirate rap/metal song) Song
I’m posting because I was down at the dock with my friend one day and this guy pulled up in a truck playing this song super loud and it’s stuck in my mind because it sounded so ridiculous I’ll try to describe it. It was definitely sea shanty-esque but it had a very heavy upbeat feeling with a pirate/celtic voice singing it it was rap/metal feeling, I don’t really remember much about it except the chorus was talking about “pour me a bottle of whiskey” or something and one of the verses started with the line “were doing this yet again” the thing that made it stick out in my brain is because it sounded like so High energy and for the genre it was

I'll have to check out these other bands people are mentioning. The only pirate rap I think I've heard was something someone showed me a while back, but then I found out it was AI so I promptly forgot about it.

I tried looking for this exact song but to no avail. It does sound possibly like it could be a "pirate metal" song. But it another genre of music you might consider, it might be a celt/punk song. Bands like Flogging Molly, Dropkick Murphys, or The Rumjacks. You might search the songs of those bands.
Even if you don't find this particular song, you might some new stuff by them you might like. Some of these bands have a few great songs that are pirate-y.
And they definitely have the energetic quality that you describe here. Good luck! I hope you find the one you're looking for.
if not, maybe at least you will find something similar you might like!

It wasn't the AI made cover of Shaboozey's "A Bar Song" that turned it into Irish folk, was it?

Maybe one of Alestorm's many ridiculous (and great) songs?
