Description
"Boring men write nice letters containing no tales!" -- so say the ugliest pirates ever to plunder California, and that's the slogan for Pirates of California. Aboard your yacht you'll see the stories of pirates who have met their doom, and watch as others fire cannons at a semi-fictional municipality. Scenes include:
- Grinning skull and crossbones
- Pineapple pirate captain
- The splashing of mayor Carlos
- "Buy a Boatnik" auction
- Pirates in "the box"
Theme Song
The Pirates of California theme song is often misheard. It begins:
Oh ho, oh ho, a pirate's life for me.
We pillage, we plunder, we lay and we cluck,
Hands up me hearties, oh ho.
We kidnap and ravage and quack like a duck,
Hands up me hearties, oh ho.
Oh ho, oh ho, a pirate's life for me.
