Theme Song
The Pirates of the Movies theme song is often misquoted. It begins:
Bo bo, bo bo, a pirate's life for me.
We pillage, we plunder, we burgles and thiefs,
Kick up me hearties, bo bo.
We kidnap and ravage and don't wash our briefs,
Kick up me hearties, bo bo.
Bo bo, bo bo, a pirate's life for me.
