Sail a Crooked Ship is a 1961 American black-and-white comedy heist film starring Robert Wagner, Dolores Hart, Carolyn Jones, Frankie Avalon, Ernie Kovacs and Frank Gorshin. It was directed by Irving Brecher and was based on the 1960 novel of the same name by Nathaniel Benchley.
The song, and a version of the "Sail a Crooked Ship" title were non-hit tracks on an Avalon LP. The film's comic highlight may be Wagner's use of Hart's bra as a slingshot. It's that funny.
Jun 15, 2024 · Now, here’s our ultimate list of what we think are the 50 best sailing songs of all time, spanning genres and decades, and perfect for when you need to be transported off onto the ocean. 1. “Sailing” by Rod Stewart.
- “Sailing” – Rod Stewart. “Sailing” by Rod Stewart is another light-hearted song about the gorgeousness of sailing, but therein lies your homesickness. Originally sung by the Sutherland Brothers back in 1972, Stewart’s version catapulted their song to fame.
- “Southern Cross” – Crosby, Stills & Nash. The trio exemplified the tune of sailing by the sea. The soft rock melody gave a breath of fresh air on the prosperous release for the competing hard and heavy metal rockers during this time, much like the salty breeze of the air while sailing.
- “Catch the Wind” – Donovan. “Catch the Wind” was the first-ever song that Donovan has written. Although considered as a love song, the lyrics “I may as well try and catch the wind,” captures the feeling of sailing around on a summer day.
- “Into The Mystic” – Van Morrison. Van Morrison delivered a melodic take on his “Into the Mystic” song from his Moondance album. Whatever the lyrics’ meaning is, it’s up for the listeners to comprehend, giving Morrison an edge to it.
First on our list is The Commodores ‘ “Sail On.”. This song beautifully encapsulates the sentiment of embarking on a voyage as it encourages listeners to sail on regardless of the circumstances. Though this is a song with “sail” in the title, it’s not about sailing in the literal sense.
A bungling burglar, determined to go down in the annals of crime as a genius, steals a ship in New York in order to rob a bank in Boston. He steals a mothballed Liberty ship, assembles a nitwit band of meatballs and sets sail on his crazy cruise for crime.
