Fishermen create hilarious parodies of chart hits, all from their boat

The crew of a Scottish trawler boat have become unexpected YouTube stars, after uploading a series of hilarious music parodies, all filmed aboard their boat, the Caledonia.

In the videos, fishermen Frank Ronald, 36, and Bill MacFarlane,43, are among the crew seen stripping to their underpants, despite treacherous conditions, before busting out a series of seriously impressive dance moves to songs such as Pharrell Williams’ ‘Happy’, and Kesha’s ‘Timber’.

The boat, which sails from Loch Fyne, is a prawn trawler, owned by skipper Kenny Brown, who also appears in the video.


Frank Donald, who is responsible for editing the videos, told the Aberdeen Press and Journal that the videos were ‘a bit of fun while on deck’, during a quiet period of the year for fishing.

He added: ‘Safety always comes first and we are careful not to do anything too silly that might result in the Coastguard having to call the lifeboat out.’
