Using much of the what is available on the BR800 that Geir bought (Guy-ear) (Uk translation by the man with the title) we have produced a soulful and insightful song which describes the natural condition of the sensitive and introspective pirate.

James is the lyricist (wanker!!(!!!!!!))....

Tharek is the lead muso, having come up with the original riff.

Geir (Guy-ear) is the facilitator (fellatior) and earth mother (Huldra) who pulls all together into one disparate collection of essences and produces a fabulous collective worthy of the title 'Shite'

And I (flash) had little to do with it except having been present (and a bit 'o bass and a bit 'o singinin')

Here is 'Hey Ho.' Congratulations to those who spot their name check.

Ya need to get your ears round this.....

Holy shit..this is the bomb!!

Now i know why there was a big interval.

THis is freakin unbelievable guys!! Did i hear Henwrench getting something up the arse?? LOL

Gonna listen to this all night...Absoulutely STELLAR!!!

Another listen...YUP!  You guys tagged him!!! ;D




                                                   Gnastyarse

Holy shite boys!!

I just sat down with a nice tall Ceaser (aka "Bloody Mary"), and thought I would catch up on the "Met" submissions of the day.

I listened to this and I'm on the floor laughing my ass off!
I'm also crying because I wasn't there to help you guys write it!!  :'(
(Can I come next year?)

This is EPIC!

Jim - It sounds like you might need to give Guinness co-writing cedits on this one. What great lyrics. I think you are "the man".
You guys made my night. I'll be listening to this one a lot.

This is so awesome guys, I just don't know what else to say.

P.S. - Thanks for singing for me, and not putting in my hoop (like Henwrench).  ;D

Aye, these be the pirate goods...  8)  

Good and filthy they be...and a great pity we have no songcrafters living on old Nantucket Island...  :D

At about 2:40 there's a lyric I don't quite understand, but at first I thought it went, "...so take and taze Ted Johnson, and wave the cactus guy."

Rum, Sodomy and Lash

Wonderful! Loving the whole concept - the chorus vocals are fantastic, I love all the "noises off" and the low gruff voices someone is doing. This sounds like a Pogues session to me, or a track called "Sea Biscuits" by a long last band called Patto that had them all looning around in the studio doing a pirate song after far too many illegal substances.

I can't make out many of the words (hearing and language translation issues....) but they certainly seem rather rude, very appropriate for a pirate song and there does seem to be something untoward happening to Henwrench....... Great fun guys, a fitting output from, what was obviously a wonderful weekend.

Cheers,

Nigel

brilliant, that was some lads weekend you guys had...

I'm keeping it as a 'nevermet' situation with you blaggards.  ;)

       Great tune, dodgy lyrics.

                                             henwrench

Dodgy lyrics indeed ;) ;D

Thanks for all the kind replies fellow musicians and victims of our little journey here ... we probably should have put a warning sticker on this one

Quote from: Ferryman on September 27, 2010, 03:37:07 AM.................... and the low gruff voices someone is doing.

That would be me ... the only thing that wasn't great about this weekend was my voice. When the lads arrived I had almost no voice at all, certainly not a singing voice. Luckily they brought some "medicine" so by Saturday I at least had my low range back. ::)

That was too much fun, and I love the distorted guitars that work so well... excellently done.

Outstanding tune, bros!! A real pearl!! => mp3 player...

Kari

Great song, even better lyrics...a modern day "Friggin in the Riggin"

What a great piece of songwriting and recording.......real imaginative.....and graphic....LOVE IT! Got to get to the point where I can collaborate with the likes of you and others on this board.....great songwriting ideas, styles and TALENT!

May I be so bold as to ask for the lyrics?
There's a few words i can't seem to get my ears around....

i think i left them in geirs hut

Quote from: oldrottenhead on September 28, 2010, 03:17:10 PMi think i left them in geirs hut

   Shouldn't that be 'Geirs Butt'?   Or is it just me being weird?

                                                      henwrench

i think we might have used them to wipe up the sperm after performing this song.

James, you're foul.

it was on your hands, you got excited about ted waving his johnson at the sky as i recall

lmao!

You're still foul.

Not to mention the poor sheep...  :D

we could resist you cuthbert our own little lamb

Who Moderates The Moderators?!?!?!

Lol!


Anyway....


Here is the moment we all "met" for for the first time (Well...  As Met...)

Hey great shot!

I was just listening to this again and caught the Grits and Berries line...nice...

hopefully all mentions here geographically accurate
migs

We fled the shores of Britain
had a ruccous in a bar
stole the gold tooth
from a coachman
name of henwrench
of penzance
he sang like a little birdie
when we fucked him
in the arse
so hoist the sails me laddy ohs
and lets fuck off tae france


(chorus)
hey ho away we go
across the seven sees
so come along me laddy ohs
and sail away with me
repeat

we hit land at la rochele
tae get some rum n wine
met up with daniel desette
and some ladies of the night
we fucked for king and country
and drank his absynth dry
absynth make the heart grow fonder
to Ontario I cry!

chorus

we cast anchor at Newfoundland
like the Vikings did before
pissed razor blades through swollen glans
wrote our names out in the snow
we set up camp and partied
playing sixty four guitars
blueberrys and grits for supper
and we sang for van der man

chorus

then off to thee americees
to fish for carp and trout
when tony saw the giants land
he launched his semen out
we had wet dreams beneath the stars
the cabin lad had died
so ted got out his Johnson
and waved it at the sky

chorus

we where double crossed by the M.O.O.
pigfarmer and the hoop
we nursed our wounds at satchwoods
then south we had to shoot
we had mulligan stew for breakfast
with damian and prive
at the end of the lost highway
we headed back to sea

chorus

for another six long months
we battles scurvy and the waves
so heave ho boys
and land ahoy
we're bound for botany bay
the sheep were tight and willing
but the locals didnae like
our appetite for lamb
n we got locked up for the night

chorus

young migs our brief
he bailed us out
his snake tongue set us free
by lying bout our provenance
and time spent out at sea
hey ho away we go
across the seven seas
so come along me laddy ohs
and sail away with me

chorus twice

Jim, those lyrics are crude, nasty, adolescent and incredible good!

aaaarrrrrrrgh!

okay im fifty years old but a pubescent fifty year old still thirteen in ma heid

new songcrafters theme tune methinks

raaargh

I'm pretty speechless...for a variety of reasons.

I had to share this with my one loyal blog follower: Porno Pirate Props for Me (http://www.halfheartedfanatic.com/2010/09/porno-pirate-props-to-me.html)

Thank you for the lyrics Jim.
I love all of the music that you guys made as MET!
It is all on my mp3 player!
Yes, I'm feelin' the love.
Keep Rock'n!

LG

 this song is so funny... you seem to have had a good time together. You are just creative lunatics, turning everything into gold.

(Hence I wont complain about you guys making the word "France " rime with "arse"... )

Quote from: danieldesete on October 01, 2010, 03:58:02 PM(Hence I wont complain about you guys making the word "France " rime with "arse"... )

;D

Actually, I think France rhymes with Penzance. Oldrottenhead was just a bit inconsistent with which lines he rhymed. In most verses, he rhymes line 1 with line 2 and line 3 with line 4. But in the first verse, he seems to have rhymed line 1 with line 3 and line 2 with line 4 instead. Verse 3 doesn't seem to rhyme at all, and one or two other verses have questionable rhyming.

But that's perfectly okay, of course. Lyrics do not have to rhyme. I've always been very impressed with the song "We" by The Roches from their first album. It's a really great song even though the words don't rhyme at all.

I prefer the studio version from their first album to this live video, but you'll get the idea:

Lyrics:

We
(Words & Music by Maggie,Terre & Suzzy Roche)

We are Maggie and Terre and Suzzy
Maggie and Terre and Suzzy Roche
we don't give out our ages
and we don't give out our phone numbers
give out our phone numbers
sometimes our voices give out
but not our ages and our phone numbers

Guess which two of us made a record
guess what the other one did instead
the two who made the record
have been a singing group for ten years
singing group for ten years
and now a trio we are
born on the fourth of December

We come from deepest New Jersey
but now we live in New York City
we better get outa there
before the shit hits the fan
shit hits the fan
you might say where have they played
all over the country and in England

Who have we worked with
do we know anybody famous
anybody famous
do we know anybody famous
anybody famous
and as a point of interest
we spell our last name R-O-C-H-E

We are Maggie and Terre and Suzzy
we spell our last name R-O-C-H-E

i go through phases of deliberately not rhyming its hooper is to blame. in some song there are no rhymes whatsoever and deliberately so. pirate songs are different tho

IMO there are no rules. There is alot of famous poetry that doesn't rhyme either.

It's all about message and delivery.

Quote from: Gnasty on October 02, 2010, 07:52:18 AMIMO there are no rules.

Of course there are rules! The rules should be ignored when they get it in the way. And they should be observed only by accident.

Had a listen to all the "Cabin" songs on the player yesterday.  Sounds like you all had fun and had a very creative/productive time.  As I've got so much to catch up on - I'll keep it short. Good stuff guys.

I've been updating my blog, fixing broken stuff. I found this old post where I beamed with pride when I heard the shout out.

Porno pirate props to me - Half-Hearted Fanatic (https://half-heartedfanatic.com/2010/09/29/porno-pirate-props-to-me/)

we need to do a new version of this to include new songcrafters.

This is really good, loved the nod to the songcrafters and the pirate crew.
