"Yo ho, yo ho! A pirates life for me!"
Today's Craving: Everything about Pirates of the Caribbean! I love the music. In fact, I'm learning how to play the theme on my penny whistle (a flute like instrument used often by sailors back in the day.) "A Pirates Life for Me" is just one of the songs you have to sing a long to. The set of the ride is amazing as well. What makes the ride so great is all the little details. Ever notice the muddy foot that hangs down from the bridge towards the late middle part of the ride? How can you miss it! You almost think mud will drip off into your boat! One of the best scenes (if not the best scene) is the jail scene towards the end where the inmates are trying to lure the dog with the keys to their cell. One of my personal favorite pirates is one of the scoundrels in the raid the town scene. He is the pirate with one foot in a boat, an arm full of treasure, and a stack of awesome hats about ten feet tall on his head.
Of course, Pirates is one of the most quotable rides there is (along with Splash Mountain and Haunted Mansion.) "We wants the red head! We wants the read head!" "Carlos, don't be chicken!" "I'm not scrounging for rum! It be gold I'm after!" "Dead men tell no tales."
The best part of Pirates of the Caribbean? The smell of the water! It has to be among the best scents in the world. The smell of the ride alone brings back memories of great vacations. They should sell bottles of that water, or turn the scent into a candle. Just kidding. But really...
Listen to "A Pirates Life For Me!"
