All five members of the Jolly Rogers are on the show today! We delve into the long running band's epic pirate music career.

In this episode:

• The song that Disney stole from them
• The insanely cool gig in Krakow, Poland and the hidden history of sea chanteys in Poland.
• What it's like to have written songs that are standards in the pirate genre
• Their "goofy" ethos and where it came from

Under The Crossbones is a podcast all about pirate culture. Your host Phil Johnson (comedian, musician, and pirate geek) interviews the most interesting people in the pirate subculture: Actors, Authors, Historians, Musicians, Artists, Festival Founders, Clothing and Prop Designers, Treasure Hunters, Archaeologists, and more.

Since I totally spaced out on putting a Jolly Rogers song in the episode... Sorry. Been traveling and sleep deprived... Here's one of their more well known tracks, "Curvy Girls". https://youtu.be/vtr2J0zcQDo

Here's their version of "The Derelict" that accidentally became "traditional" and was co-opted by Disney for Pirates of the Caribbean. (I wasn't able to find a clip of its use in the film.) https://youtu.be/Hlob75PqeSw

Here's a cool vintage clip of The Clancy Brothers as mentioned by the guys as an influence on their music and stage show. https://youtu.be/qdl-yB0MapI

And since they mentioned Bounding Main, here's a tune from them too! https://youtu.be/J34o18QLPB4
