I feel like it might have been silence.

Also I feel the need to point out the piece is called Sailing By not Sailing Away.

I think you mean until somebody gets the answer right, you got the question wrong.

 

[HMS Ark Royal]

I think you mean until somebody gets the answer right, you got the question wrong.

So I got one little word wrong - sue me...

My milkshake brings all the boats to the yard
And they're like, it's better than yours
Damn right, it's better than you's
I could teach you but I have to charge

It was meant to be annoying.

Is it this?

I like big boats and I can not lie
You other buoys can't deny
That when a boat walks in with an itty boaty waist
And a round float in your face
Oh boat, I wanna get with you
And take your picture
My homebuoys tried to warn me
But that boat you got has a whistle and a horn-y

 

[HMS Ark Royal]

It was meant to be annoying.

Ah - still wrong

[backontrack]

That wasn't in July, it was in May, wasn't it?

 

[HMS Ark Royal]

I know what you refer to, but that happened after this date... I'll give you another clue so soon and say that this was broadcast on behalf of somebody else

 

[TheEdge]

Aww, that sounds like a serious answer and now our fun is ruined
