I've been listening to this song on a new (to me) cd (Pirate Gold by the Jolly Rogers), and I've been wondering - is this song based on true incident? 10 to 1 odds, and the Oak wins? I know the Royal Oak is the name of a British warship... Does anyone know?

I've bin readin' again- this time The Beggar's Opera by John Gay. Gay used traditional songs and ballads and put new words to 'em, to make this play. Essentially, this excellent piece of theatre upholds harlotry, theivery, and violence as the ideal existence. The characters all be cutpurses, highwaymen, prostitutes, pimps, and other fine folk. Some of the songs include such immortal lyrics as: "Tis Woman that seduces all Mankind, From her we first are taught the wheedling Arts Her very Eyes can cheat when most she's kind She tricks us of our Money with our Hearts. For her like Wolves by Night we roam for Prey Inducing any Frauds to bribe her Charms For Suits of Lo…

Ahoy! I am new here and didn't see this mentioned before, so here goes. My absolute favorite pirate song is Friggin' In The Riggin' as performed by the Sex Pistols (or what was left of them after Johnny Rotten left). I know it is a traditional song, but their version cracks me up every time.

OK. Just woke up after a night of dreamin' of the sea...and of pirates. Thought I needed some appropriate music, so I checked my CD library...what did I find? The Blessing is the band (William Topley ring any bells?). Prince of the Deep Water is the name of the CD. Popped it into the stereo...turned up the volume. Dogs watching me with terror in their eyes...God, I remember why I loved it so much....There's not a bad track on the album...and there's most definately a pirate mystique... Just a little sample from "Hurricane-Room" See me wistful in some harbour bar I tend the warm glass and the duelling scar I sing my misappropriation song for lovers land-locked far…

Cordingly, in "Under the Black Flag" states that Stevenson "---took the Dead Man's Chest from At Last by Charles Kingsley." Has anyone seen this book and know how it relates to the song? Many years ago I read an article, I no longer remember where, by a man who claimed to have tracked down the song's origin. He said that Dead Man's Chest was a tiny island in the Caribbean and that the song commemorates a shipwreck there, not a mutiny. After the wreck, the marooned crew got into the ship's cargo of rum. Some drank themselves to death, or killed each other in fights. When relief arrived, there were only fifteen survivors, thus: "drink and the devil had done for the rest."…

A number of years ago (maybe 6) I bought a pirate cd at the Hampton Blackbeard Festival (this was when it was held in Tidewater Park.) The CD was sort of a metal rock band singing (actually, more like yelling) lyrics about pirates. It was just AWFUL. It had almost as much charm as the beastie boys pirate song. Anyways I lost the CD in a poker match shortly after, and have no more memory of who that CD was by. Anyone know who I'm talking about? The only other scant details I can provide are that the cover was black with a red printing of a jolly roger with an eyepatch, and that one of the songs had a line that went something like: "you know I'm not a liar so you'd bette…

20,000 leagues inder the sea ain't exactly pirate material, BUT there is a lot of water and plunder and sea monster goins on... Anywho, there is song sung by Kirk Douglas' character Ned Land with a turtle-shell banjo and a barking seal, I think it's called Whale of a Tale. They even worked the tune into the score! Even though Ned sings this ditty about 87 times in the movie, I can't remember the middle part of the lyrics. Sure, I could look it up online, but I thought it would be more fun to ask me associates to provide the missin' words. Here goes: Got a whale of a tale to tell ya', lads, a whale of tale or two, 'bout a.... (da da dee dee da da doo, etc.)insert co…

I first mentioned this on Pirate Pop, in response to movie lists, but setting down to do a "think", I guess it might get a better response here. Many Many (more than I want to count) moons ago, when presented for the first time, the Garfield the cat Halloween special, had a pirate segment in it. (unless I be dreaming it) And the major part of this one segment was of Garfield and the dog (odi?) out on a boat on the rough sea. It was accompanied by a Sea Shantie, with a recurring line, "Yo Ho, Yo Ho, over the bounding sea we go, Yo Ho, Yo Ho, where ever the four winds blow" or something to that extent. The Shantie told a story, but I can't remember the words, and in …

If you'd like to host MP3 files on pyracy.com for folks to enjoy, I can set up a section for that at pyracy.com/music - email vox@pyracy.com to arrange. I can also post links to your files if you already have them hosted elsewhere.
