Pirate Music Festival!

After confirming that the pineapple is indeed the tastiest, yummiest, fruitiest fruit of all fruitdom, I decided that my journal was seriously lacking in teh pirate love. (not that those two facts really have anything to do with each other)

After all, I've been reading some good things about the POTC sequel, and I just found out that One Piece plays on Saturday mornings on Fox. I'm sure I'll hate the English version, but pirate anime is pirate anime.

In conclusion, to up the level of pirate love on my LJ, I have here to present to you....PIRATE MUSIC! It's all the songs about pirates or related to pirates that I have. Sadly, not enough for a whole CD.

Which is where you come in! Share the pirate love. Post any pirate songs you have (or sailing songs, for that matter), until we have enough for a respectable CD...like 12+ or something. Happy, sad, funny, bad... any will do. Share the pirate love.

As if it were Speak Like a Pirate Day...instead think of it as Sing Like A Pirate Day.


Pirate Music!

1. Reliant K - The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: A very, very funny song. You can read the lyrics here if they went by you a little fast. It's originally from Veggie Tales, but I love this cover version. "We don't wake up before lunch, when we all eat Captain Crunch." My kind of pirates.

2. Dinsey - Yo Ho, A Pirate's Life For Me: Come on. It's a classic.

3. Aquabats - Captain Hampton and the Midget Pirates! Quite the amusing song, with a fun intermission in the middle about fearsome midget pirates. I first heard this song on this music video, for the anime One Piece. You don't need to know anything about OP to enjoy the video, though: just imagine a cartoon about kooky pirates being made into a music video about kooky pirates.

4. Arrogant Worms - Pirates of the Saskatchewan - I acquired this one through LJ, and it makes me happy every time I hear it. Canadian farmer pirates!

5. Captain Jack - Captain Jack (Grandale Remix) - Think pirate version of dance club music.

6. Jack Lukeman - Port of Amsterdam - My personal choice for a Captain Jack Sparrow theme song.

7. Jimmy Buffett - A Pirate Looks at 40 - One of my all-time favorite songs ever. I grew up hearing this song.

8. Sting - Valparaiso - Aaaahhh...pretty. You might recognize this from the ending credits of White Squall. Great movie.

9. Thea Gilmore - Pirate Moon - Another pretty shiny thing.



See.... only 9. That's not good at all! Must show love for pirates.

If any of the links don't work, let me know. :)

Naruto is going to Toonami. My god, the edits! Cry now.

How they think they can edit the end of the wav country arc is beyond me.

Also: AnimeSuki is now removing the fansub links as it is liscenced. If I had bittorrent, this would bug me.

I'm also still kinda wigged about the idea of hearing their English voices. After 120+ episodes in Japanese... it's gonna be weird.

Is there any way that ANYONE can get me episodes of Lost?

I've only seen the pilot, and it's a fandom I really want to get into... even if anyone was able to get me the most recent episodes and summarize the rest (I know a little about the people from the pilot episode), that would be great.

I started to watch this Naruto music video to "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" by Green Day. But I realized like 20 seconds in that it was a Sasuke-centric video.

After 37 seconds in I had to turn it off because, um, no. I can't hear these lyrics and feel sorry for Sasuke's angst when I'm looking images of him betraying everyone hew knows and walking out on the people that raised him and taught him ans presumably kept him from being a starving street orphan. That's not woobie angst, that's Sasuke being a little shit I want to smack upside the head several times.

Sadly this ruined the vid experience for me. Some songs just don't go well with some video concepts.


When does chapter 148 come out? Waiting is haaaaaaaarrrd.

I'm watching South Park and I could swear Johnny Bosh, the voice actor for Vash from Trigun, is doing the voice of Satan's boyfriend.

It's probably not him, but the resemblance is freaky.
