Shiver me timbres! (an' me pitches, an' me bass...)

In honor of t'day bein' International Talk Like A Pirate Day, I figgered I'd list me some o' the piratical an' sea-goin' chanties that warm the cockles o' me satyrical satirical heart:

• "The Last Saskatchewan Pirate" by The Arrogant Worms
• "Privateers of the Public Airwaves" by The Foremen
• "You Don't Know Jack" by our very own lukeski
• "Bend Over, Greek Sailor," as performed by Clam Chowder ('t'aint a pirate song, strickly speakin', but I knows a few swabbies what'd appreciate it...)
• "Men" by Martin Mull (same bloody notation as "BOGS" above)
• "The Clean Song" by Oscar Brand
• "Buccaneer Rap," "Captain Morgan" and "The Spanish Armada," all by th' Boogie Knights
• "The Lincoln Park Pirates" as recorded by Frank "U. Scum" Hayes
• "Accountancy Chanty," from th' opening "Crimson Permanent Assurance" segment in Monty Python's The Meaning of Life
  
• An' o'course, we can't be fergittin' Cap'n Smitty's official anthem of th' festivities, "Talk Like A Pirate Day"

Any swashbucklin' songs or deep-sea ditties ye care t' add, post 'em here. GRRRR! ARRGH!

Don't forget Bosun Balder's new Hoist The Jolly Roget's (http://thefump.com/fump.php?id=119).

ARRR! But I think that "The Lincoln Park Pirates" was actually a Steve Goodman song that Frank covered. :)

Sure an' ye be right, Cap'n, but I likes me Frank's recordin' of it better. :-)

Arrrr; ye've clearly not been a-listenin' to Steve sing live, then. Remind me to send ye some not-quite-pirated MP3s some time.

And I like Clam Chowder's version best of all, but they haven't done it in quite a few years.

And then there's Napster Piracy by Stephen Arrrr Savitzky

Where can I find "Privateers of the Public Airwaves?" [pirate mode]I want to download it illegally and distribute cheap copies on street corners. [/piratemode]

[thatcrazycajun.livejournal.com]

Ye may have t' search high an' low, far an' wide, me hearty; 'twas on their tape/CD titled WHAT'S LEFT? and there's sure t' be a few copies out there on the briny...

Avast! Regardin' me earlier statement that ye'd have to search for th' song...Seems I was a mite premature; Apple's iTunes Store has it fer downloadin' at only 99 cents. Not as excitin' as a pirate copy, o'course, but it's the easiest way t'get it.
