captjustinkase Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 OK so thanks to all of these posts I have a lot of songs that I am going to be listening too over the weekend. My list is unfortunately a little more mainstream. The Legend of Davy Jones (Forty Fathoms Deep) - David Jeremiah Whale of a tale - Kirk Douglas (From 20,000 Leagues) The Beast of Pirate's Bay - Voltaire This Ship's Going Down - Voltaire Cruel Mistress - Flogging Molly My Kids are huge Captain Bogg and Salty fans, especially the Pegleg Tango and Sail with the Kings Also they consider Muppet Treasure Island definate must listen to Pirate Music, and I will guilty admit a small love of Tim Curry's song in the movie.

Bright Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 (edited) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skWOB3se68Q Fifteen men on a dead man's chest Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum Drink and the devil had done for the rest Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum. The mate was fixed by the bosun's pike The bosun brained with a marlinspike And cookey's throat was marked belike It had been gripped by fingers ten; And there they lay, all good dead men Like break o'day in a boozing ken Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum. Fifteen men of the whole ship's list Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum! Dead and be damned and the rest gone whist! Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum! The skipper lay with his nob in gore Where the scullion's axe his cheek had shore And the scullion he was stabbed times four And there they lay, and the soggy skies Dripped down in up-staring eyes In murk sunset and foul sunrise Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum. Fifteen men of 'em stiff and stark Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum! Ten of the crew had the murder mark! Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum! Twas a cutlass swipe or an ounce of lead Or a yawing hole in a battered head And the scuppers' glut with a rotting red And there they lay, aye, damn my eyes Looking up at paradise All souls bound just contrawise Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum. Fifteen men of 'em good and true' Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum! Ev'ry man jack could ha' sailed with Old Pew, Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum! There was chest on chest of Spanish gold With a ton of plate in the middle hold And the cabins riot of stuff untold, And they lay there that took the plum With sightless glare and their lips struck dumb While we shared all by the rule of thumb, Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum! More was seen through a sternlight screen Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum Chartings undoubt where a woman had been Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum. 'Twas a flimsy shift on a bunker cot With a dirk slit sheer through the bosom spot And the lace stiff dry in a purplish blot Oh was she wench or some shudderin' maid That dared the knife and took the blade By God! she had stuff for a plucky jade Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum. Fifteen men on a dead man's chest Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum Drink and the devil had done for the rest Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum. We wrapped 'em all in a mains'l tight With twice ten turns of a hawser's bight And we heaved 'em over and out of sight, With a Yo-Heave-Ho! and a fare-you-well And a sudden plunge in the sullen swell Ten fathoms deep on the road to hell, Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum!

Captain Robert Rackam Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Ok, First there is a great collection available on iTunes called Rogues Gallery that contains Mingulay Boat song by Richard Thompson (also check out his album 1000 years of popular music), My Son John by John C. Reilly, Blood Red Roses by Sting, and Lowlands Low by Bryan Ferry among many other great recordings. After that I really Love a band that plays at the Renn Faire here in Maryland called the Pyrates Royale. Search for them them they have a websit wher one can purchase music. Here's a list of some of my favorite songs by them. Essequibo River Heart of Oak High Barbary Being a Pirate You Don't Know Jack Also, if you like Metal there's this German band from the 80's called Running Wild they are all over Youtube many of their songs are Piratey but myself I like "Under Jolly Roger." And of Course "A Pirate Looks At Forty" "Yes, I am a PIRATE (over) 200 years too late, the cannons don't thunder there's nothin' to plunder I'm an over 40 victim of fate.... Arriving too late, arriving too late." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt Thighbiter Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 (edited) The closing tune in Master and Commander, Boccarini's " Night Music on the Streets Of Madrid" I get the chills every time listening to it, Hell I get the chills when WE play it!

Captain McCool Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 (edited) The closing tune in Master and Commander, Boccarini's " Night Music on the Streets Of Madrid" I get the chills every time listening to it, Hell I get the chills when WE play it! This is one of my very favorite pieces too. It suited the film so well, and it was even mentioned in one or more of the books, if I'm not mistaken. Or if not the exact piece, at least Boccarini in general. I'd love to hear you blokes perform it! As for favorite pirate song in general though, that's really bloody difficult. Some favorites off the top of me head: "Tobacco Island," by Flogging Molly "Mingulay Boat Song" (not traditional, as many people think, but still powerful and beautiful) "Mal's Song," a Firefly filk song that's pretty much brilliant "The Mariner's Revenge Song," by the Decemberists (who freaking ROCK. Favorite. Band. Ever. Period.) "A Cautionary Song," Also by The Decemberists (this one's twisted and brilliant) "The Island: Come and See/The Landlord's Daughter/You Won't Feel the Drowning," also by the Decemberists "Shanty for the Arethusa," Decemberists again (are we noticing a theme here?) And lately I've been really hooked on this local band from Boulder, CO, called the Widow's Bane (http://www.myspace.com/widowsbane), who are actually a Zombie band, and they have a really cool pirate-zombie song called "Haul Away Boys." I HIGHLY recommend checking them out. Very talented. Hell, there are so many others though. This is why I've become a Bilgemunky Radio addict. Never enough Pirate music.

Bilgewater Browne Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 There be many tunes, but the one I recall transporting me to the deck of a ship was the great Jimmy Buffett's, "Son of a Son of a Sailor.": "Haul the sheet in, As we ride on the wind, That our forefathers harnessed before us." I could taste the salt air and feel the roll of the deck the first time I heard that lyric.... Craig Browne Captain Half Moon Marauders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lady constance Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 the grudge by tool or let my love open the door by pete townsend or there is a pirate rock band called " FLOGGING MOLLY".... they are pretty good pirate rock and roll... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain McCool Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 (edited) I'm not sure I'd entirely classify Flogging Molly as a "Pirate" rock band, but they definitely do some pirate songs. Kickass pirate songs too. I really dig those guys. If you like Flogging Molly, totally check out The Dreadnoughts. They have a somewhat similar sound. They classify themselves as a "Shanty Punk" band. Which is, by definition, awesome. Here's their Myspace page: http://www.myspace.c...itydreadnoughts Edited February 9, 2010 by Captain McCool Captain Jack McCool, landlocked pirate extraordinaire, Captain of the dreaded prairie schooner Ill Repute, etc. etc. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ "That’s what a ship is, you know.
