oh man those Alestorm lyrics to the vid jim posted
Lyrics to Keelhauled :My friends I stand before youTo tell a truth most ARRThey lust a treator in our mistWho haven't vote the captain's ARRHe don't deserve no mercyWe oath to ship him with the gunsBut I am not an evil manSo thus lets have a little funWe'll tie that scoundrel to a ropeAnd throw it overboardTrap him underneath the shipA terrifying deadly tripKeelhauled, that filthy lad, gonna send him down to the death bellowMake that bastard walk the plank with a bottle of rum and the Yo-Ho-HoKeelhauled, that filthy lad, gonna send him down to the death bellowMake that bastard walk the plank with a bottle of rum and the Yo-Ho-HoI will not say what he has doneHis sins are far to grave to tellIt's not my place to judge a manBut boy he will burn in hellThe sharks will dine up on his fleshAnd Davie Jones will have his soulTake his money and his hatHe won't need them where he's gonna goAnd thus lets him to a ropeAnd throw it overboardTrap him underneath the shipA terrifying deadly tripKeelhauled, that filthy lad, gonna send him down to the death bellowMake that bastard walk the plank with a bottle of rum and the Yo-Ho-HoKeelhauled, that filthy lad, gonna send him down to the death bellowMake that bastard walk the plank with a bottle of rum and the Yo-Ho-HoWe'll tie that scoundrel to a ropeAnd throw it overboardTrap him underneath the shipA terrifying deadly tripKeelhauled, that filthy lad, gonna send him down to the death bellowMake that bastard walk the plank with a bottle of rum and the Yo-Ho-HoKeelhauled, that filthy lad, gonna send him down to the death bellowMake that bastard walk the plank with a bottle of rum and the Yo-Ho-Ho
He don't deserve no mercyWe oath to ship him with the gunsBut I am not an evil manSo thus lets have a little fun
We'll tie that scoundrel to a ropeAnd throw it overboardTrap him underneath the shipA terrifying deadly trip
Keelhauled, that filthy lad, gonna send him down to the death bellowMake that bastard walk the plank with a bottle of rum and the Yo-Ho-Ho
I will not say what he has doneHis sins are far to grave to tellIt's not my place to judge a manBut boy he will burn in hell
The sharks will dine up on his fleshAnd Davie Jones will have his soulTake his money and his hatHe won't need them where he's gonna go
And thus lets him to a ropeAnd throw it overboardTrap him underneath the shipA terrifying deadly trip

Pirate Metal is just a spin off from Drinking Metal after some of those bands saw Pirates Of The Caribbean.

Piracy Warning
There is a piracy warning on pre-released versions of the album, such as the versions on various BitTorrent websites, and appearing on You Tube. While the introduction to the song plays, Christopher Bowes reminds listeners that piracy is a crime.

My (now defunct) Paperthinwalls review from last year:
ALESTORM“Captain Morgan’s Revenge”(from Captain Morgan’s Revenge, Napalm)8.0
Mutiny on the bounty's what Alestorm are all about; they're gonna board your ship and turn it on out. Napalm Records – which, despite carving its promos up into a hundred critic-unfriendly snippets so shuffle-play is impossible and piping in aggravating subliminal "you're listening to the new album by so and so" messages, are the only label helpful enough to always mention on the back sleeve of said promo advances which metal sub-sub-subgenre particular bands partake in (say, “Epic doom metal” or “Nordic folk metal”) – inform us that this well-oiled quintet play “Scottish pirate metal.” Which you have to admit is the best name for a new style of music you’ve heard in years, right?
Turns out that Scottish pirate metal sounds like a subset of the always highly inspirational jig-and-beer-metal aesthetic offered up in recent seasons by such wonderful far-European combos as Finntroll, Korpiklaani, Skyclad, and Sturmgeist. Which is to say that, despite obligatory (and curiously palatable in their case) extreme-thrash-like trappings, the loud and inebriated gang choruses are something that Pogues and Dropkick Murphys fans could easily imagine hoisting a pint to. (Ha ha, what couldn’t they imagine hoisting a pint to, right? But you get my point.) The main thing that sets the excellently named Alestorm apart from the pack is that, along with beer, they also tell tall tales about buried treasure chests and starboard boughs, and their two best song titles feature wenches. (Not to be confused with winches, which might help pull their vessel out of the water.)
“Nancy the Tavern Wench,” which as my better half has pointed out to me is primarily an advertisement for Nancy’s Harbor Cafe (“I know a tavern not far from here/where you can get some mighty fine beer…a den of debauchery, violence and sin” full of “cut-throats and low lifes” who would make reliable crewmates if you’re in the market for recruiting some) is basically also Alestorm’s version of Looking Glass’s chart-topping 1972 classic “Brandy” – Which is to says that Nancy, she’s a fine girl, what a good wife she would be, but Alestorm’s life, their love and their lady is the sea. And “Wenches and Mead” is yet more tugboat-rhythmed nautical immersion in rum, sodomy, and the lash, about how when one returns from a mighty odyssey across the oceans, one is certainly not in the mood for sleep or rest but rather to “get so drunk I can not think.”
Christopher Bowes, as he damn well better if he knows what’s good for him, recites such profound thoughts as if he’s just eaten plenty of booty and topped it the parrot from his shoulder. And in the typically rousing and hilarious “Captain Morgan’s Revenge” he goes one further, both by rhyming “dance a jig” with “take another swig” and by forcing said sorry Captain to walk the plank. But once Bowers and his buccaneers return to port they realize the captain has cast a curse! And now, since they’ve broken the law and betrayed the code, our heroes will carry their burden to their gallow’s poles, their graves and--as the song passes the five-minute mark in its album version, at least--the prison cells they wind up rotting in. (Though probably not in that order, I just realized.) As for us, we will face no such fate. Thanks to Alestorm, as Garth Brooks once related in “Two Pina Coladas”, we can set sail with Captain Morgan without ever leaving dry land.
