Cap'n Knifehand Ken Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 Not sure if I can be of service offerin' any piratin' tunes, but jest wanna say, I likes yer taste in music!!! Don't know anyone into tha Dogs Damour but meself 'til now!! The pirate Knifehand Ken captured many galleons, killing over five-hundred men in cold blood. He would tear the captains hearts out and swallow them whole. Often forcing his victims to eat their own lips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Penny Hawkings Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 There's a couple from Blackmore's Night that I can contribute right off of my head.. "Village on the Sand" and "Storm". The second one is less piratical as it is weather related, but I have it on my list of "Songs to Throw on a Quickie Pirate CD When My Computer Isn't Being a Bilge Rat".

Hate me because I am robbing you, tossing you overboard, and stealing your ship!" -the only thing more dangerous than her.. is her needle- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap'n Coyote Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 "Songs to Throw on a Quickie Pirate CD When My Computer Isn't Being a Bilge Rat". Can you actually fit all of that on the spine of a jewel case? *makes mental note for next software release* Rumors of my death were right on the money.

Coastie04 Posted September 24, 2003 Share Posted September 24, 2003 There's a piratical version of "Spanish Ladies" on one of the Bilge Pumps CDs, as well as "The Derelict". As a bonus track, they have an...I'll say interesting...song called "Buckaneer City" On their newest CD, the Bilge Pumps have "A Smuggler's Song", "Pirating the Seas", "Mrs. McGrath", and a great ballad called "The Dark Lady". I know I have some other good ones, but this is a start. For general nautical songs, with piratical songs in the mix, I'd suggest three groups: The Bilge Pumps (which just happened to be in my CD player at the time I was writing this), The Corsairs, and the Jolly Rogers. I know their websites are on the ports o' call page of www.noquartergiven.net Coastie04 She was bigger and faster when under full sail With a gale on the beam and the seas o'er the rail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
