Assassin's creed black flag sea shanties
There are two wildly anachronistic shanties from the game on Youtube.

No doubt, pirates sang for their own entertainment and amusement but they were not the same work songs that merchant sailors would sing a century later when hauling on halyards or stamping around a capstan. The word “shanty” or “chantey” did not come into use to describe the songs until around one hundred years later. The only problem is that pirates of the early 1700s most assuredly did not sing sea shanties. XBox Magazine proclaims: “ Singing shanties is as iconic a pirate activity as drinking rum and wearing wooden legs, so of course Assassin’s Creed IV has the option to order your crew to sing as they sail.” Seriously, it’s awesome!” And he is not alone in his enthusiasm. In a review in, Mike Splechta reveals what he describes as the “best feature” of the game: “ Sea shanties! These songs that are sung by your crew are collectibles you can acquire through exploration, and having different ones will enable your crew of sailors to burst into song when sailing the sea. The sea shanties are causing quite some excitement. As the player sails from island to island, plundering, capturing ships, and finding treasure, he can also acquire sea shanties that his crew can sing as they sail on their misbegotten adventure. The game is designed so that the game-playing pirate/assassin commands the ship Jackdaw around the Caribbean of the early 1700s.

It seems that Black Flag focuses on pirates more than assassins. My younger son, a senior in high school, mentioned to me a few mornings ago that the newest version of the historical action-adventure video game, Assassins Creed, which is Assassins Creed IV – Black Flag, has a feature that lets you turn sea shanties on or off.
