Nickelback know a fair few things about putting together a half-decent parody, it turns out. Before the Canadian band that everyone pretends to hate scaled to the gravellY heights of âHow You Remind Meâ, they started life as a covers band called Village Idiot.
Accordingly, when the bunch of aspiring seamenâs (no sniggering at the back) sails caught wind of The Lottery Winnersâ shanty-flavoured version of âRockstarâ, the band sportingly clambered aboard for a collab. Mainly, this one stands out for its surprisingly high production valueS â weâre talking split screens, stock images of ships, at least two anoraks, a pipe, and a captainâs hat seemingly stolen from a rowdy stag do.
Hey, hey, even sea shanty singers can be rockstars! Thanks to TikTok, there s a new viral sensation as a group called The Lottery Winners have turned Nickelback s Rockstar into a sea shanty with the band getting involved as well.
It started about a week ago when The Lottery Winners responded to a request to turn a Nickelback track into a sea shanty by taking on the band s 2005 single Rockstar. While word of the cover quickly spread, things really took off over the weekend when Nickelback got involved and helped add a fresh take to the original post while sharing it on their own TikTok page. The Nickelback-added version, posted two days ago, has nearly 241,000 loves.
