It reminds me of my favorite song... The Jolly Town Rakes.

[blackjohn]

The words, as best I remember them. Please forgive the punctuation and capitalization errors.

What life can compare with the jolly town rake's

when in his full swing of all pleasure he takes

at noon he gets up for a wet and to dine

and wings the swift hours with mirth, music and wine.

Then jogs to the playhouse and chats with the masks

And thence to the rose where he takes his three flasks

there great as a caesar he revels when drunk

and scours all he meets as he reels to his punk

Then finds the dear girl in his arms when he wakes

what life can compare to the jolly town rake's

He like the great turk has his favorite she

but the town's his seraglio and still he lives free

sometimes she's a lady but as he must range

black betty and oyster moll serve for a change

as he varies his sports his whole life is a feast

he thinks him at his soberest is most like a beast

all houses of pleasure, breaks windows and doors,

kicks bullies and cullies and lies with their whores

rare work for the surgeon and midwife he makes

what life can compare with the jolly town rake's

thus in covent garden he makes his campaigns

and no coffee house haunts but to settle his brains

he laughs at dry mortals and never does think

unless tis to get the best wenches and drink

he dwells in a tavern and lives everywhere

and improving his hour lives an age in a year

for as life is uncertain he loves to make haste

and thus he lives longest because he lives fast

then leaps in the dark and his exit he makes

what life can compare with the jolly town rake's

[Pirate Petee]

that song is great.

[Christine]

Well, Johnny Depp is in it so it has to be good! :)

[blackjohn]

that song is great.

Makes you want to be a libertine too, doesn't it.

[Mad Matt]

Well, Johnny Depp is in it so it has to be good!  :)

Uggghh! ((((vomit))))

[Pirate Petee]

that song is great.    

Makes you want to be a libertine too, doesn't it.

Yes, yes it does. Actually, it kind of reminded me of myself during my twenties, untill I managed to get myself engaged.

[Black Hearted Pearl]

Isn't the story line about a guy who goes mad from gonohrrea (sp?) and this reminds you, Petee, of yourself in your twenties?

[Christine]

Um, yeah, Petee.....could ya explain that one?

[Pirate Petee]

The song, the song.

[blackjohn]

Well, since you are engaged, here's another Thomas D'Urfey classic.

Come Jug, my Honey, let's to bed

John. Come Jug, my Honey, let's to bed,

It is no Sin, sin we are wed;

For when I am near thee by desire,

I burn like any Coal of Fire.

Jug. To quench thy Flames I'll soon agree,

Thou art the Sun, and I the Sea;

All Night within my Arms shalt be,

And rise each Morn as fresh as he.

CHO. Come on then, and couple together,

Come all, the Old and the Young,

The Short and the Tall;

The richer than Croesus,

And poorer than Job,

For 'tis Wedding and Bedding,

That Peoples the Globe.

John. My Heart and all's at thy command,

And tho' I've never a Foot of Land,

Yet six fat Ewes, and one milch Cow,

I think, my Jug, is Wealth enow.

Jug. A Wheel, six Platters and a Spoon,

A Jacket edg'd with blue Galloon;

My Coat, my Smock is thine, and shall

And something under best of all.

Actually, I thought the STD he goes mad from is syphilis. There's no cure for that, only treatments, but back then they didn't even have treatments. It slowly made you go mad and then you eventually died. Ugh, how horrible!

A friend of my guyfriend's went to a special showing of it the other day. Met Johnny as well. I got a pic in an email of him with Johnny and his little son. His son fell asleep while in the pic-lol!

[~Lady Pirate~]

I really want to see this film. The trailer was great. And Johnny Depp is a talented actor. As is Samantha Morton.

he got to meet Johnny AND Jack? Cool!

What's the name of the character Johnny Depp plays? I remember hearing about this one, but I dont remember.

[~Lady Pirate~]

John Wilmot a.k.a. the Earl of Rochester

[tishsparrow]

Ah...

See, me and my friend are sort of obsessed with Johnny Depp. Not to the 'stalking' level, but if he's in a movie theres more of a chance we'll go see it. and my friend has been waiting for this one to come out, she got it off of a list of movies he's going to be in. She's waiting for it because he plays some one named either Lindsey or Rachel (i have a terrible memory) and she wants to see if he's actually playing a girl.

She's kinda weird. But so am I, so I'm not one to talk...

[~Lady Pirate~]

That's hilarious!

I think Johnny would make a pretty girl. With those beautiful facial features. :)

[tishsparrow]

I'm guessing you've never seen his 'cross dresser' movie then... It was an indie film. One of my other friends saw it.

[~Lady Pirate~]

No, never saw it. Was it a good film? I bet he looked hot. He always does.

[tishsparrow]

i'll see if i can find a picture. I probably have one saved on here somewhere.

I'll tell you one thing: Never type "johnny depp' into google images. I got pictures of everything from ozzie osbourne to someones dog named johnny.

but here ya go:
