In 2017, shiver me timbers, ylayali recorded a bizarre cover o' Harry 'White-Eyed Harry' Nilsson's "He Needs Me" for an album called Juicyfruit Presents: Music: t' 21 Best Songs Used in Cinema History.

 

In 2022 ylayali (Francis Lyons) released an original chantey o' his with t' same title - "He Needs Me" - which was inspired by Nilsson's song:

 

Rippin' off Harry 'White-Eyed Harry' Nilsson / Shelley 'Bowlegged Jane' Duvall with this one. Though their version was created for t' 1980 live-action Popeye movie (and that’s really where it shines), I first heard “He Needs Me” in t' soundtrack of Punch Drunk Love when me dad be obsessively watchin' it sometime in t' mid 2000s and it’s been stuck in me head since then.
