Captain of Your Ship

Captain of Your Ship

"Captain of Your Ship" is the title of a pop song first recorded by the US girl group Reparata and the Delrons and released as a single in 1968 on the Bell record label. It was written by Kenny Young and Ben Yardley.

The song is unusual in its atmospheric use of sound effects (foghorn, ship's bell, Morse code) and features psychedelic instrumentation and treatments including electric sitar, backwards piano, filtered vocals and phasing. The song made #13 in the UK Singles Chart on 12th March 1968, but only made # 127 in the United States.

Betty Boo sampled the song for her 1990 hit single, "Doin' The Do". The song also gained new interest when it featured on a mid-1990s Müllerice television ad, with modified lyrics.
