Bold Princess Royal. There are lots of songs about privateers. Officially they were pirates if you fell foul of them. |

05 Jun 08 - 02:17 PM (#2358509) Subject: RE: Trad Arrrgh!!!!!!!!!! From: John on the Sunset Coast You may be correct, Steve, as I have heard of neither Walter Gabriel nor the Archers. I do know that Newton was LGS in the 1950 version of Treasure Island. |

06 Jun 08 - 04:07 AM (#2359082) Subject: RE: Trad Arrrgh!!!!!!!!!! From: GUEST,Suffolk Miracle Definitely not traditional, but I remember as a child a TV series about pirates, the sig tune of which went something like: A life on the ocean wave will be The only life for you and me. We'll sail across the mighty sea Forever. And if we find that danger's near We'll whistle the tune 'The Buccaneer' And we will face the enemy Together. |

06 Jun 08 - 12:21 PM (#2359453) Subject: RE: Trad Arrrgh!!!!!!!!!! From: bubblyrat I remember a TV programme from the 1950s called " The Buccaneers ", and the title song went something like- "let's go a-roving,a-roving across the ocean, Let's go a-roving and join the Buccaneers " ... It was crap, but hey !! What else was there in those days, apart from Phil Silvers ?? |
