"'''Ballad of the Briny'''" is a song demoed by [[Rivers Cuomo]]. A short clip was uploaded to Cuomo's YouTube channel in January of [[2011]]. The same year, [[AllThingsWeezer]] member Bleed0range confirmed the song's title from Cuomo's assistant [[Sarah C. Kim|Sarah Kim]] (albeit spelled as "'''Ballad of the Briney'''")[http://www.allthingsweezer.com/index.php?threads/2011-sea-opera-clips-lets-keep-these-in-circulation.29275/#post-846715]. The YouTube upload's title, "Sea Opera Days", suggest that Cuomo was, at one point, developing a sea-themed concept album around that time. | "'''Ballad of the Briny'''" is a song demoed by [[Rivers Cuomo]].

==Plot== | |||
The video uploaded by Cuomo briefly flashes text that can be made out: | |||
He fell in love with her on the night before the Resolution (the ship)... her squalid life in a brothel to take her with him to Amer[ica.] | |||
.. her but finds that Captain Buttress is having sex with her... Captain Buttress with his pants down yells at Mortimer, "get back here"... | |||
[Morti]mer stays up for the remainder of the night on the deck of the ship and... at sunrise jumps overboard... [as he loses] conciousness... | |||
he feels super happy and blissful as he hallucinates... then all goes black. | |||
The song seems to be sung from the point-of-view of the character Mortimer Collins. The video also contains the name of the female character, Candace, as well as the antagonist, Captain Duke Buttress. | |||
