Description
"Dead men have no memories!" -- so say the ugliest pirates ever to plunder France, and that's the slogan for Pirates of France. Aboard your yacht you'll see the bodies of pirates who have seen their last E ticket, and watch as others loot an unwelcoming seaport. Scenes include:
- Surfing skull and crossbones
- Spy pirate in bed
- The dunking of mayor Richard Sherman
- "Peel a Bride" auction
- Viewing storage room
Theme Song
The Pirates of France theme song is often misrepresented. It begins:
Big toe, big toe, a pirate's life for me.
We pillage, we plunder, we dirty and grime,
Bring up me hearties, big toe.
We kidnap and ravage and suck on a lime,
Bring up me hearties, big toe.
Big toe, big toe, a pirate's life for me.
