Amazon has them, but I'm not paying $16.62 for one 175g bag.

The Wellerman - TikTok Sea Shanty mashup 2021
I've heard this enough that I was gonna break down and make a tik tok account and add a duo to it.
Unfortunately--I just looked up the sheet music, and it's in 3 flats. Assuming that's the key signature everyone's singing/playing it, it's unsuitable for the whistle. Sad day.
Dang, I was looking forward to this exact thing, too. I did verify that the TikTok version IS in the same exact key as the Longest Johns version, though I did not verify whether that key is C Minor (I don't have perfect pitch and I'm at work). Couldn't you pitch-shift the video down a half-step into B Minor to compensate while you add your track (assuming a D whistle), and then pitch-shift your recorded track up a half-step (making it C Minor) so you can fit it back into the corpus?
Also:
Avast ye matey! Sea shanties are taking over TikTok. Here's why
From Wellerman to Drunken Sailor, sea shanties are attracting the attention of landlubber TikTokers. "It went wild. I don't really know what happened," says the guy at the center of it all.

Depending on your DAW, It'd probably go like this:I have done that kind of thing before, but I'm not a whiz at it. Too much work
-Play TikTok version aloud and record it into DAW.
-Tell DAW to pitch-shift TikTok track down a half-step.
-Record your own track(s)/videos/whatever played against the shifted TikTokTrak until you get a take you're happy with.
[**If you don't care about the fact that it's now shifted, you can stop here. Otherwise...**]
-Bounce the audio of your takes to a single track (if necessary)
-Tell DAW to pitch shift your track up a half-step.
-Replace the audio in your video with the shifted audio from the DAW.
It's not really that complicated of a process...unless it's something you do so rarely that it's a big hassle. But if you can set up an Internet jam session, then I'm pretty sure you possess the required skills.
--Patrick
Yeah..don't have a daw that can pitch shift, software or hardware. So I have to do those things in a little more complicated way
I'm surprised. It's been an almost standard feature of DAWs since what, 2003 or so?
--Patrck
That's what I use when I have to do it. But I wouldn't call the process easy or uncomplicated.

It'd never occurred to me how much Link looked like Stormy until the Sealab 2021 portion of that...
