there's a german power/classic metal band that's got the whole pirate schtick down cold, i think they're Running Wild, not sure...i've even read that their fans dress up as scourge of the sea for their shows and the band encourages this (the guy writing that had somebody at the show by his side with "a paper parrot in his shoulder", that cracked me up)

The Thin White Rope album "In The Spanich Cave" has got pirates on the cover. Actually, to give it its full title "Captain Long Brown Finger In The Spanish Cave". I have no idea what that is supposed to mean.
