This is my piano solo rendition of the song "Yo Ho (Pirate's Life for Me)." This is the very famous theme song for the Pirates of the Caribbean attractions at Disney theme parks. The music was written by George Bruns, with lyrics by Xavier Atencio. The version heard at Disneyland and Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom was sung by the Mellomen, featuring Thurl Ravenscroft.

The first time I learned the song, it wasn't the original; it was a parody version sung on the animated series "House of Mouse," which featured Iago (from Aladdin) and other parrots singing the song.

NOTE: The character in the thumbnail is Lennie the Buccaneer Lion, a parallel of Leo the Patriotic Lion representing the nation of Jamaica, and is a pirate himself (I didn't have any other pirate images). However, and this is important, he is the exact opposite of everything pirates are said to be in the lyrics of the song.
