I like this version actually better than alestorm, because i don't like rock. This song sounds very happy. It had to win, but they performed it very bad live. The studio version is way better.
But is still like this song, arr mateys! We hoisting the flag to be free ;-)
Who cares about Alestorm,this is a Latvian song and Alestorm only did a cover of it !!! I like this version better.. Malači Latvieši jums vajadzēja uzvarēt,viena no labākajām dziesmām kura bijusi no Latvijas eirovīzijā! :]
@orandulum Alestrom did a cover for this song, and this group was trying to have fun by doing it, besides they are Latvians, they have the accents and it is cleaned up a bit in the album version. personally i think it is funny how they are prancing about with fake weapons and with the costumes.
@orandulum This butchers your heart? Then don't watch it. This is the original version, so you can't tear it down! Without this one, Alestorm wouldn't have had their version.
@Kevin00405 of course he can tear it down^^ the text AND the musik must be good not just the text. And the original mustn`t be everytimes better than the covers.
I'm just saying.. I like more the metal version but i don't want to offend you! everyone has his own taste of music.
@mrmcmad dude alestorm is a pirate metal band and this song is like their anthem and its shit tons better than this version just saying, i love this song but alestorms is better
@lpedy It was written by Swedes for a Swedish band, but they didn't want it. Then they asked like Norway and Germany or so and they both rejected as well. So Latvia ended up singing it instead.
Both Alestorm and Pirates of the Sea are great versions, personally i prefer Alestorms, but god damn people. This version is amazing as well. Stop being such noisances and shut your fuckin trap, if you don't like this version then go listen to Alestorm's like i do and leave the people who like this one listen to it at peace.
Li trovo simpatici....certo lui ha una pronuncia molto sarda :D sembra Geppi Gucciari al maschile! Peccato che l'Italia non voglia partecipare al contest...ma credo sia perchè la Rai voglia pararsi gli ascolti di Sanremo....
