I thought that Ian Dury and the Blockheads did it.
Could be wrong though, it was a long time ago.

This song, under the title "Friggin' in the Riggin'", was most famously recorded by The Sex Pistols for The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle.
A version of the song, titled "Good Ship Venus", appears on the August 2006 compilation album Rogue's Gallery: Pirate Ballads, Sea Songs, and Chanteys performed by Loudon Wainwright III. His version is typically explicit and uses many of the verses common to many versions of the tune.
