After rewatching the Wellerman Sea Shanty remix to show my spouse the wonderful thing made by Covid-locked TikTokkers, I finally realized that "Wellerman" resonates because, in a way, it's about COVID lockdown.

"Soon may the Wellerman come, bringing sugar and tea and rum" = soon may my DoorDash/UberEats/contactless grocery pickups be ready.

"When the tonguing is done, we'll take our leave and go." = "When COVID is done, we'll take our leave and go (out)".

I feel silly not realizing this until years later.
