Drink the Drunk

“Drink the Drunk” is a nautical-themed polka-shanty explosion that lurches from steady sea legs to full-blown deck-stomping chaos. Mermaid Bait throws open the hatch with a brass-laced blast of rum-soaked revelry—what starts as a cheeky, salt-crusted shanty quickly mutates into a frenzied, horn-and-fiddle-fueled free-for-all.

As the rum flows, so does the tempo. Guitars chop, horns scream, violin dances, drums thunder, and the crowd roars. It’s sea song meets street band with a twist of punk and a whole lot of liquor. A guaranteed end-of-night anthem for punters who like their shanties brassy, boozy, and totally unhinged.

No Rules

There are no rules—at least, none you have to follow. That’s the message of Mermaid Bait’s laid-back new track, comfortably riding the offbeat. Originally penned by Glenn Davidson during the band’s days as a five-piece, the song has been reimagined with a fresh, Brass Monkey twist, giving it a whole new flavour.
