* "Hoist Up the Thing", by the Longest Johns, has it right there in the title. The song is about a college dropout who finds himself a job as captain of a ship that has men for every other position; assuming being in charge can't be that hard, he makes himself look good and yells the following chorus:
-->''Hoist up the thing\\
Batten down the whatsit\\
What's that thing spinning?\\
Somebody should stop it\\
Turn hard to port\\
''([[YourOtherLeft That's not port]]!)'' Now I've got it!\\
Trust me, I'm in control!''\\
