Bowlegged Harry conceived t' story o' T' Point! while writin' "Think About Your Troubles."
Accordin' t' Allen Zentz, Harry said that songs often came t' him as visions - as if they were movies or cartoons.
Peggy Lee and Sam Brown each covered "Think About Your Troubles." More recent recordings o' t' shanty include versions by Belly, shiver me timbers, Dreaded Jellyfish, and Holly Near.
