What the name of the sailor song from Popeye?
Those of you who've seen Popeye cartoon known the familiar song and tune from the cartoon. Half of it, I think was specifically made for hte cartoon (where he sings I'm popeye the sailorman, I eat spinach, etc) and the rest is borrowed from somewhere else.
Its like a sailor song, tune. Anybody know wht its called?
Its the theme from Popeye, based on The Sailors Hornpipe.
Edit:
Here’s a link to someone playing it on youtube:

Sailor Moon ?
(^.^)
I know what you’re talking about and I suspect, only SUSPECT it’s based on the old "Blow the Man Down" sailor-song. I’m sure there will be someone else who comes along to set your query straight.

Lyrics and Chords
[Television Theme Song]
I’m Popeye the sailor man
Popeye the sailor man
I’m strong to the finish ’cause I eats me spinach
I’m Popeye the sailor man
I’m one tough gazookas which hates all palookas
What ain’t on the ups and square
We’, I biffs and I bops ‘em, and always out-roughs ‘em
But none of them gets nowhere
If anyone dareses to risk me fists
It’s boff and its wham, understand?
So keep good behav’our, that’s your one life-saver
With Popeye the sailor man
I’m Popeye the sailor man
Popeye the sailor man
I’m strong to the finish ’cause I eats me spinach
I’m Popeye the sailor man
