    ENJOY!! EVERYONE!!
    (LYRICS!!!!)
    Shiver My Timbers, Shiver My Soul
    Yo Ho He Ho
    There are men whos hearts as black as coal
    And they sailed there ship across the ocean blue
    A Blood thirsty captain and a cut throat crew.
    Its a darker tale as was ever told
    Of a lust for treasure and a love of gold...
    Shiver My Timbers, Shiver my sides
    Yo ho he ho
    There are hungers as strong as the winds and tides
    Yo ho he ho
    And those bucaneers drowned there sins in rum,
    The devil himself would have to call em scum!
    Every man on board would have killed his mate for a bag of
    ginnys or a piece of eight, a piece of eight, a piece of eight
    5 6 7 8
    HULA WOKA HULA WOKA SOMETHING NOT RIGHT
    MANY WICKY ICKY THINGS GONNA HAPPEN TONIGHT
    HULA WOKA HULA WOKA SAILOR MAN BEWARE
    When the money in the ground theres murder in the air,
    Murder in the air.
    ONE MORE TIME NOW
    Shiver my timbers, Shiver my bones
    Yo ho he ho
    There are secrets that sleep with old davey jones
    Yo ho he ho
    When the main sails set and the course is weighd
    Theres no turning back from any course thats laid
    And when greed and felony sail the sea,
    you can bet your boots there'll be treachery HA HA HA
    YAAAAAA YA YA YA AAAAAAAA YAAAAAAA
    Shiver my timber, Shiver my sail
    Dead men tell no tails!

      One thing that makes the song even better for me is some context for the line 'Every man aboard would'a killed his mate for a bag of ginnys or a piece of eight.' Yeah...a piece of eight was a literal eighth of a Spanish silver dollar (back then you could literally cut up a coin into up to 8 pieces to make change) and in todays economy a piece of eight would have the buying power of approximately $12.50. So these guys would kill their shipmate for just over ten bucks.

      @@georgeashley6643 Michael Caine said the trick is to not look at them as puppets, but as real actors. Some about MCC that doesn't get enough credit is the climax of the Christmas Yet to Come segment. Everything Scrooge had seen up to this point had been about him, but in every other adaptation, he's suddenly clueless about what's obviously going on. When the Ghost finally shows him a grave, other actors give a big cliche NO! or the score hits a cliche scare chord. In this "kiddie" adaptation, it's clear from Caine's mannerism that he knows what the Ghost is showing him but doesn't want to admit it. And when he finally reads the name on the tombstone, he just quietly sobs out his name as the score remains lowkey. That was the finest acting ever in a Muppet movie

    Fun fact about the line, 'Every man aboard would'a killed his mate for a bag o' ginnies or a piece or eight.' Yeah...a piece of eight was a literal eighth of a Spanish silver dollar. In the 1600-1700's you could make change by cutting a coin into up to eight peieces. Eighths were the smallest pieces that were accepted. Oh, and a piece of eight was worth roughly 13 dollars. So that was what their shipmates lives were worth. (on and that's 13$ in *today's* money, not when 13 dollars could buy you a small ranch horses included)

      @Nickname-ef9tv 3 месяца назад +6

      It was not just the 1600-1700s, from antiquity up to the 18th/19th century coins were made of precious metals. Theoretically each coin was worth its weight (hence the scale being an important symbol of banking and trade), so half a coin was half the value, but since meddling with coins was usually heavily punished (and complete coins are just easier to handle) most other currency coins were just left intact. Spanish coins were particularily present in American-European trade - and their handling difficult to police - not only because of Spain having controlled much of the Americas, but because they found rich silver deposits which led to them minting copious amounts of silver coins (they mined so much silver that still in the 19th century China would massively suffer from it).

      Both Hensons insisted that the Muppets were intended to be family-friendly, but that didn't mean they were meant to be children's entertainment. While Kermit was teetotal in this movie, Fozzie obviously wasn't, though no Muppet was shown to drink on-screen.
      The only people actually shown drunk were the pirates (note: villains). Disney did a similar take on Captain Hook in the original Peter Pan, being murderous and obviously evil. Kids can take it, and even understand that this is how bad guys act.
      This might be a silly and family friendly pirate flick, but it is no "Jake and the Neverland Pirates".

      One thing that makes the song even better for me is some context for the line 'Every man aboard would'a killed his mate for a bag of ginnys or a piece of eight.' Yeah...a piece of eight was a literal eighth of a Spanish silver dollar (back then you could literally cut up a coin into up to 8 pieces to make change) and in todays economy a piece of eight would have the buying power of approximately $12.50. So these guys would kill their shipmate for just over ten bucks.

    Seriously, some of these lyrics are legit total fire.
    Shiver My Timbers, Shiver My Soul
    Yo Ho Heave Ho
    There are men who's hearts as black as coal
    Yo Ho Heave Ho.
    Really powerful opening, the mood is impeccable. I just love how the first statement isn't about treasure, or the sea. It's about the evil of man and his willingness to eat himself.
    It's a dark a tale as was ever told
    Of a lust for treasure and a love of gold...
    I love this line, because it's basically saying that this is just one of a million stories just like it. But this one is the best.
    Shiver My Timbers, Shiver my sides
    Yo ho heave ho
    There are hungers as strong as the winds and tides
    Yo ho heave ho
    I freaking love this line, again, I just love the fact that it's just telling you matter-of-fact that men can be evil, and not just evil, but powerful.
    And those buccaneers drowned their sins in rum,
    The devil himself would have to call'em scum!
    Every man aboard would have killed his mate,
    for a bag of ginnies or a piece-of-eight.
    Just gorgeous imagery, the sight of these miserable salty pirates quietly murmuring, brutal bloody souls begrudgingly working with each other each with the intention of betraying everyone around him.
    Sailormen beware,
    when there's money in the ground,
    there's murder in the air.
    Again, I just love the simplicity of this line, heralding what's about to come.
    When the main sail's in and the anchors weighed
    there's no turning back from any course that's laid,
    and when greed and villainy sail the sea,
    you can bet your boots there'll be treachery.
    And at last, we have a final warning about the inevitable destiny of those who live by the sword. There's no turning back.
    Shiver my timbers, shiver my sails,
    dead men tell no tails.
    and then we switch to Flint's pov, like he himself is relishing in his own deeds, such a scoundrel.

    This song feels empty without the visuals to help it tell a story. I remember watching this scene as a kid and hearing the song and not once did I ever think that one could exist without the other. The song helps give the scene energy and the song can’t exist without the scene. And come on, when that final line “shiver my Timbers, shiver my sails, dead men tell no tales” comes around, you can’t end it without the sound and imagery of Flint firing off his flintlock pistols and killing his crew. Without it, the song feels incomplete.
