Description
"Hook-handed men have no memories!" -- so say the Disneyest skeletons ever to plunder the Caribbean, and that's the slogan for Skeletons of the Caribbean. Aboard your dinghy you'll see the images of skeletons who have met a bitter end, and watch as others fire cannons at a disgruntled seaport. Scenes include:
- Laffite's Oppressing
- Topiary drinking in a bar
- The dunking of mayor Dewey
- "Spill a Bride" auction
- Skeletons in a high-security prison
Theme Song
The Skeletons of the Caribbean theme song is often misquoted. It begins:
Oh go, oh go, a skeleton's life for me.
We pillage, we plunder, we freak out and cower,
Kick up me hearties, oh go.
We kidnap and ravage and don't take a shower,
Kick up me hearties, oh go.
Oh go, oh go, a skeleton's life for me.
