Nanowar is brilliant that way. They are like Weird Al's style parodies, he is able to understand the intricacies of each band he parodies, much akin to how Nanowar does it. It's very entertaining

[@Vortexakos]

Ok, so this one hits two birds with one stone, the obvious one being Alestorm, and the second one, hidden in the main riff and beat, I believe is Korpiklaani, AND IT HITS PERFECTLY!!!! Now I'm dreaming of a tour with all of them... Awesome song!

I was riding my bike home from work one night when I got hit by a "sober" driver. He was just under the limit, and they needed a blood test. It was a hit-and-run. But because he was non-violent, he got off scot-free. I enjoyed the line about how a pirate ship driver must pass the test. I love this song. Makes me feel safe on the seven seas, now if you'll excuse me, I need to scrub the deck.
