“Tom Traubert’s Blues” was written by American rocker Tom Waits and tells a story of alcohol abuse. The chorus comes from the famous Australian bush ballad “Waltzing Matilda.” which is itself a tale of vagrancy, hard times, and misadventure. This version is sung by British singer Rod Stewart.

This whaling ballad was written long before the song became a surprise internet sensation. In the Nineteenth Century, the original Weller Brothers (Wellermen) brought supplies to remote whaling communities off the New Zealand coast. The lyrics speak of the voyage of one whaling vessel, the Billy of Tea, whose voyage did not go according to plan. Locked in an endless battle with a whale, they longed for a supply ship to bring them sugar, tea, and rum.
