All I'll think about all day now is Captain Feathersword, from the Wiggles!
Posted by: Wayne from the UK at September 20, 2006 12:57 AMThe best pirate song I know is "The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything" from Veggie Tales, covered by Reliant K on the soundtrack to the feature movie "Jonah". And yes, I have two small kids. As I recall, Brian, your son included a Chris Rice song from the Jonah soundtrack on his Father's Day show, so I'm guessing you'd be familiar with this one as well.

Ted Leo does an awesome cover of "Six Months in a Leaky Boat" both solo and with his band.

Posted by: Dave at September 22, 2006 1:35 PMTaz! I was coming here to say the exact same thing!
Not only that, but the VeggieTales version of "Modern Major General" is a cover of sorts (from the Major-General's Song, Pirates of Penzance?). So they're both good.
I also wanted to say that when I heard the singer for Little Birdy -- wow. She sure sounds like Nina Persson from The Cardigans!
