Ahoy there, mateys! It's Monday and it's time for music!
Who are the Music Moves Me bloggers? We are a group of music loving bloggers who blog about music each Sunday or Monday (or even later in the week). If you have music to share with us, you are most welcome to join! We are brought to you by Cathy of Curious as a Cathy, Stacy of Stacy's Random Thoughts, Marie (Xmas Dolly), and myself, plus other music loving bloggers.
Our theme this week is: Sep 28th Recently, was International Talk Like a Pirate Day, a fun modern holiday. It would be fun to see where the seven seas take each of you as you share with us songs relating to pirates.
Aye. Let's run that again through the Pirate Speak Translator:
Our theme this here week be: Sept 28th recently, been international talk like a gentleman o' fortune day, a fun modern 'oliday. It would be fun to see where the seven seas take each o' ye as ye share with us songs relatin' to gentlemen o' fortune
Well..it be time to turn to, of all things, Disney.First, a couple of tunes from the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. As pirates would say: If ye like instrumentals, the followin' two songs be fer ye.
He's A Pirate (Pirates of the Caribbean theme song).
Davy Jones (Epic Version).
Finally, one more Disney song, As we non-pirates would say, Yo, Ho, Yo Ho! A pirate's life for me. This 1967 song was written for the opening of the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland. If you recognize a certain deep male voice, it is that of Thurl Ravenscroft, who voiced Tony the Tiger in Kellogg's commercials and was the deep voice of "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" in the famous cartoon.
Now, let's move to some non-Disney songs.
Fifteen Men on the Dead Man's Chest, from Great Master
Last but definitely not least, the Dropkick Murphys and and the Celtic Punk anthem Shipping Up to Boston. Fun fact, this originated as a five line lyric fragment written by Woody Guthrie which was expanded. Maybe not so much about pirates, as true maritime grit, but it's a great song.
Or, as pirates would say: It be a jolly song. And that was a jolly theme.
And that's a wrap!
Join me again next week for another episode of Music Moves Me.
