Blackbeard, Bluebeard & Redbeard - A Pirate Story by Eric Herman

http://www.erichermanmusic.com/ytcds.html

To celebrate International Talk Like a Pirate Day on September 19th (and every other pirate holiday throughout the year), Eric Herman presents "Blackbeard, Bluebeard and Redbeard", a video depicting the story of three famous pirates who sailed together on a most colorful voyage. Definitely not as violent as the Family Guy pirate chase video, but funny tongue-in-cheek humor.

The full lyrics and chords for this song can be found here: http://www.erichermanmusic.com/Blackbeard_chords.pdf

This song, which was voted the "Best Children's Song" in 2006 by the Just Plain Folks organization, was written in collaboration with Kenn Nesbitt, a popular funny poetry author whose work can be read at http://www.poetry4kids.com The video was animated and directed by Eric's wife, Roseann Endres, and Eric and Roseann worked closely together to create the video.

The lesson i learned: next time i see a butterfly, the sun, and a cloud, I know i'm heading North!!!

[EricHermanMusic]

@MsMollymoo22 LOL :o)

[chickenofrobot567]

why dose blackbeard take vitemins at the end?

[EricHermanMusic]

@chickenofrobot567 It's an obscure reference to the show "Lost."

[George105099]

What does blue black and red actually make?

[EricHermanMusic]

@George105099 It does make maroon, if the proportion of red is heaviest.

@lq0pl Hi there. This probably isn't the best song for studying English with, as there is a lot of "pirate slang". :o) But anyway... "Gather 'round me little buccaneers (pirates)". The parrot says, "Rawk, pegleg" (wooden leg). Blackbeard: "From starboard to port" (right to left on a boat). Also, "scurvy puppies", a joke on the usual pirate reference to "scurvy dogs" (scurvy is a disease common to pirates due to lack of nourishment and vitamin C). Hope that helps!

[lq0pl]

Hi, Eric!!! I like your videos very much. but I have a little problem.

help me please! I study English, I can't understand these:

gather around me, little...who?...

what does the parrot say when Redbeard suggests to paint him

what does Blackbead say after "deep dark black. From ....???... sure as bla-bla

and so ....???... puppies

I'd be very grateful for explanations )))

I'm so happy I was able to make a RSMV of this! You were such a help, and I've got great feedback from it :)

However, this one is much better! XD

Thank you Eric :)
