Not so ironic when you think about it. Edward Teach, according Charles Johnson, served as sailor on a privateer ship around Jamaica during the War of Spanish Succession. He probably met Royal Navy sailors during this period, and fought beside them. And after said war, due the the conditions of relieved R.N. sailors deteriorating and more than ever scorned by other persons, a lot of them turned to private trading companies and/or piracy. The demobilization of many sailors, captains and other ships from all the european navies caused a great boom both in maritime trade and piracy. So, in anyway possible, sailors shanties could be known and sung by every man on the seven seas and four oceans.
Also, Teach died in 1718, and at the time the United Kingdom was still a slaver nation, so the Royal Navy didn't hunt slaver ships. The abolitionist movement only started in the late XVIIIth century and the abolition process was definitely completed in 1833. And thereafter, the R.N. indeed started a hunt of slavers from the early 1800's.
I sing this when I take long bubble baths. I like to pretend that I am a British explorer and Royal Navy Officer like my hero, Sir John Franklin. The bubbles are like the ice floes and icebergs of the arctic.
I love this movie. It is such a brilliant artifact of nostalgic Disney. I kinda wish that the film had had some sequels like Herbie. Of course, if they did a modern sequel, they would cast someone like Johnny Depp in the role of Blackbeard, but there is nobody who can top Sir Peter Ustinov's and his performance The greatest choice for the greatest character, R.I.P. Mr. Ustinov.
And we love you for it! I rewatched this masterpiece last night. In original English language for the first time (I grew up on the Hungarian dubbed version). Now I listen to this song on repeat in the office :D
I'd love to walk into jobcentre plus with Blackbeard! There'd be definitely a few idiots in suits that work there being throw randomly around the room by an invisible figure
This song was heard just before the battle of Trafalgar started in the 1941 movie "That Hamilton Woman". Laurence Olivier played Lord Admiral Horatio Nelson in that film; Vivien Leigh, who played Scarlett O'Hara in Gone With the Wind, played Lady Emma Hamilton.
Could you post the ending? where he goes back to his ship after saying goodbye to the daughters of the buccaneers? Loved that part! BB/PU was such a ham and ladies man. Love how he yelled at his crew on the ship when he went back... but they were loyal to him. Not a true depiction of the crusty old pirate, but a endearing one.
Only recently I learned that this is the British naval anthem. And of course the goofball that Blackbeard is can only remember one damn verse of it. Lol.
The irony of a pirate singing the song of the Royal Navy - scourge of pirates and slavers!

Many pirates worked for the British as mercenaries and contractors.

I was thinking more John Rhys-Davies instead.
You should watch darby ogill and the little people, the gnome mobile, and the scarecrow of romney marsh.
Please dont give disney such ideas!!!! They will ruin the memory of the movie.
Peter Ustinov, by day he was Prince John in Robin Hood and by night the honorable Captain Blackbeard.
I would not stand for there not to be any english versions on CZcams. And since i had the movie, I figured I'd be doing a civil service. :D

We thank you madam
Wonderful film, many happy childhood memories and laughs from it. RIP Peter Ustinov, legend!
Sally B And Dean Jones RIP
“Sing out! Don’t muuummbbbllle!!!”
A classic film. Love this movie.
Me: (taking a shower)
*proceeds to sing this song all along intensifies*
I sing this in the bath imagining I am on a voyage to the Arctic with Sir John Franklin
Imagine you're in a hotel room minding your own business and all of a sudden hear marching and "FREE MAN" in the hall.
This is an inn
This is one of my favorite films.
best performance ever :)....indeed makes you feel very good! These actors are so sweet together....
My favorite part of the film!
Imagine coming home drunk with your friends singing this jolly song!
1:10 She lays down the melancholy burden of sanity, and decides to join in on the shanty....
Great movie from my childhood!! ❤
Wish there was an official full version of this out there. Definitely my favorite one.
Love it so much I even listened to the Hungarian version lol
This is the type of song you'd sing when going to the job centre... Oh the joy if Blackbeard's ghost accompanied us on the journey :D
I'd love to walk into jobcentre plus with Blackbeard! There'd be definitely a few idiots in suits that work there being throw randomly around the room by an invisible figure
I love this part in the movie.
Blackbeard and Steve are getting ready to fight off the thugs
Awesome song! One of my favorites since I was a kid. I'd thumb it up again if I could.
One of my all time Favorites!
"When I was in the Academy, we would sing before a toast!"
I LOVE THIS SONG!
My favourite song from one of my favourite movies - and finally in English! :)
Ironic that Blackbeard would sing this song, as the Royal Navy was constantly after him and it was Royal Marines that killed him.
He was still English.
@@Willaev Welsh actually
1:19 Hide the rum

Great song!
Jolly good, as the British would say
Raise the Union Jack!

starrweaver i could have it up by the end of the day, possibly.
that would be awesome! I love the part where they say the spell and see the Captain. All the way to the end on the ship... it's perfect. lol
@@starrweaver your right it’s amazing ! Gives me chills when they say “captain where have you been” and the sailors whistle goes off
Old Sea Shanty’s Are The Best 😂
Better lyrics than the original lol
Fun fact: Heart of Oak was writed after Blackbeard died.
lol the end
Only recently I learned that this is the British naval anthem. And of course the goofball that Blackbeard is can only remember one damn verse of it. Lol.

Peter Ustinov was the man
Gilbert an Sullivan song. Love this film
