For some reason, YouTube has tagged this video as "From an accredited US healthcare educator."

"Yo-ho-ho" and its cousins are illustrated with a movie clip showing men pulling on oars in a galley – not very pirate-like. I understand those expressions as being used by teams of crew members (aka 'mateys') hauling up sails or winding the capstan to pull up anchor.

@David L: A better movie clip would be the classic 1934 Wallace Beery/Jackie Cooper Treasure Island. The crew of the Hispaniola (pirates, though the good guys don't know that yet!) pull together on the second "ho."
