Sylvester Stallone said about Rocky musical: "If I would sing I would like haunt a ship .. or two ships" From my understanding of all words "haunt a ship" sounds like visiting a ship as a ghost? Doesn't make any sense and doesn't sound like a joke, which it was, unless it's some kind of idiom?
 
It doesn't make sense to me. Yes, I would understand it as a ghost as well. It's not an idiom and I am not sure what he meant (other than that his singing is bad.)
 
And when you have time, sadlui, please amend your profile, as you have already been asked to do.

It's hard to believe a native Albanian was brought up to speak Basque.
 
It is what he said, and I agree he meant that his singing is bad enough to scare people.
