    My family still quotes from this song. It's a good way to tell someone you don't want something if you use " I don't like it, and I don't wanna do it, it's tacky". Most times we'll use it just to be silly, this song has brought humor to my family for over 30 years.

    I'd lent this tape to a shipmate back in 87 or so & for weeks afterwards,he talked like the guy wanting to "be a pirate like the Pirates of Penzance".
    The Chief looked at him kinda funny.

You know, to impress the young people. 🤣😂 (ahem…embarrass her friends FOR her. She’s not embarrassed she jumps right in!)
    I used to love to play Hugo The Human Cannonball for the kids in their gross stage of life!😬

      No I am 26 and I grew up on this song, still one of my absolute favorites and will always be one of my absolute favorites. What I love about Ray is that he has this cheap cheesy corny feel to his music videos and it's not cheap feeling it just looks that way and it's so Charming because it's comedy and comedy you don't need a lot of big flashy stuff this is just perfect, I love Ray Stevens for everything that he's done especially the Mississippi Squirrel Revival because I'm from Mississippi.

    Rubies and emeralds, pearls and gold doubloons! British soverigns, silver chalices encrusted with diamonds and jewels!
    Necklaces and bracelets of every shape and size, fit for the crown heads of Europe, eh?
    And all buried in a pirate's chest and I just happen to know where.
    How 'bout that me bloodthirsty buckos! Ha ha ha!

    [Pirate Captain:]
    Soup?!
    [Pirate:]
    Might have a bit of a salad, too.
    [Pirate Captain:]
    Well, how about a bleeding fingerbowl?

    um its 15 not 16 men on a dead man's chest ..
    Dead Man's Chest is a tiny island that forms part of the British Virgin Islands in the Caribbean Sea. Pirate legends of the Caribbean claim that the notorious pirate, Edward Teach ( Blackbeard ), marooned 15 of his pirate crew on 'Dead Man's Chest' as a punishment for their mutiny and desertion.
