POTC Swashbuckling Sea Songs: The Legend of Davy Jones

[@mylabower5047]

I remember listening to this on long car rides

[@joshuaseagondollar2495]

I almost forgot this song. I swear this was my jam as a 10-year-old obsessed with Pirates of the Caribbean (or more particularly Davy Jones)

[@gavincopeland2690]

Childhood songs right here

[@lexifeldmann5353]

I flipping adore this song, and I'm 21.....never too old for pirate music!!!!!

[@ancvet2720]

God save you

[@TimJay07]

Exactly my parents got me the DVD that this CD was in Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Man's Chest I believe

[@tinker.belle.501.]

Agreed.

[@astrallis7873]

Well the Flying Dutchman from the movie is real it’s docked at Disneys castaway cay

[@supacheez3]

this song puts me to sleep when im having a rough night

[@littlemissjonesthepiratebe7062]

the organ and the evil laugh are creepy awesome and perfectly portrays Davy Jones....

[@CrystalBull4209]

omg I knew I wasn't crazy. this does exist.

[@hunterlincoln3700]

Same 😂 I used to listen to this as a kid and I loved it

[@Invisibool]

Best Pirate Song ever.

[@Death_by_Insomnia]

this is my fav of them all X3

[@HugeHouseFan]

love this song

[@DrDecoyJr]

it can't beat the ' i've got a jar of dirt ' song

[@jacoblarkins696]

The legend they call davi Jones

[@LilyLilyLilyPotter]

i sing this song when i bored. lol i love it so much!!!

[@Ruosteinenknight]

Tales of Davy Jones and Dutchman tend to vary, depending on what culture they're told. My culture isn't really sea farer people, so tales of sea are usually quite mystic and murky. In norway there is kraken, we got our Iku-Turso. Can't remember did we have anykind of ghost ships though.

[@fiddleofdoom]

Love the organ on this

[@Hy-Brasil]

i agree. kids movie or not... there were plenty of chances for it to be playing in the background while they were in Tortuga.

[@Phantomsbreath]

Another tale goes that he made a Dante style deal with the devil for immortality, and the devil as usual, twisted it. Killed him, and doomed him to a ghostly existence, tied to the sea.

[@123dracorex]

this song is giving me chills i love it

[@Ruosteinenknight]

That would be Bernard Fokke I think. He was thought to be in league with devil, he was renowned for his uncanny speed, what other sailors thought to be sure sing of infernal powers at work. He's also one of the role models for dutchmans's captain.

[@crystalco1265]

I remember to ever since William came back I sort of had nightmares of Davy Jones himself

[@Invisibool]

I sing this song so much, it drives my family crazy! They should've put this in the movie (at least in the credits.)

[@MLMusicBox]

@ArnasonFamily ... No, he doesn't die. The singer goes overboard, yes, but saves himself. He manages to pull himself back to the surface. As he says, he turns his back on Davy Jones (ie, the bottom of the ocean), and leaves him and his locker far behind, thereby escaping death. So despite the spooky mood throughout, it's a happy ending.

[@FaunaDragon]

I remember this song would give me nightmares as a kid

[@Ruosteinenknight]

One legend tells that curse was took place when dutchman's captain actually tried to get another place, table bay. However, the wind headed them, and went against them more and more, and Van der Decken walked the deck, swearing at the wind. After sunset his vessel spoke to him, asking him if he did not mean to go into the bay that night. He replied: 'May I be eternally damned if I do, though I should beat about here till the day of judgment.'

[@RandomGuy-ej5dr]

I heard that one too

[@Digitalfairy]

Cool! Another perfect song ideal for Halloween! :)

[@filleformis]

i'm now addiceted to this awesome song >.

[@KaitouAngelDark]

one person is trapped in davy jones locker

[@Phantomsbreath]

Given my backround, and my father's backround, it's rather unusual that I heard it at all.

[@KaitouAngelDark]

pirates of the carrabean should have a musical with this song in it

[@dragorider93]

davy jones = epic

[@Banchoking]

When they did Dead Man's Chest, this song should have played.

[@IsannKeket]

Or At Worlds End. SPOILER FOR A PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN MOVIE Or during the End Credits of Dead Men Tell No Tales

[@tinker.belle.501.]

Agreed.

[@scenequeenintraining]

i admit.. i dance around to this when no one is watching

[@FlorinAmzoiu]

Use wikipedia: Versions of the story are numerous in nautical folklore and related to medieval legends such as Captain Falkenburg, who was cursed to ply the North Sea until Judgment Day, playing dice with the Devil for his own soul. The first reference in print to the ship itself appears in Chapter VI of George Barrington's Voyage to Botany Bay (1795):

[@Unit403]

According to most versions, the captain swore that he would not retreat in the face of a storm, but would continue his attempt to round the Cape of Good Hope even if it took until Judgment Day. According to other versions, some horrible crime took place on board, or the crew was infected with the plague and not allowed to sail into any port for this reason. Since then, the ship and its crew were doomed to sail forever, never putting in to shore.

[@Boogeyyyman]

Do you fear death!!

[@DioBrando-qp7yy]

2020 anyone?

[@Phantomsbreath]

I'm simply mentioning the version I was taught. Oral tradition, as it were.

[@Aquafrostsheke]

The reason why Davy Jones has the Flying Dutchman in the FICTIONAL Pirates of the Carribean is due to Calypso simply giving it to him, to help ferry souls to the "other side".

[@schwakyl000]

Devon Wingate well mean... Neither the Dutchman nor Davy Jones are real to begin with, so...

[@Boogeyyyman]

@@schwakyl000 how do you know? 😃

[@themangledwither]

@@schwakyl000 every legend has a root in reality. The demon pirate and the ghost ship may not be real but something inspired them

[@TheSEAempire]

@@themangledwither The topic of one of my videos funny enough 😂 The legends for both Davy Jones and the Flying Dutchman are truly incredible.

[@tinker.belle.501.]

I love this song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@exewon]

i heard from him but not much can somebody tell me a full version of it or tell me where to find him.

[@Aquafrostsheke]

Cape of Good Hope is the translation I believe.

[@Rovarin]

It's a movie. Historical accurateness isn't one of Disney's strong points or other film-companies in general, for that matter. However back then, If I'm not mistaken, a lot of professional soldiers and officers were mercenaries, i.e. hired soldiers. I know of a faroese sailor who was a danish privateer (the Faroe Islands being a colony of Denmark) who sailed, for a time, under the Dutch crown. I'm guessing on loan or because of some alliance...

[@Aquafrostsheke]

@dragorider93 Yea however we weren't talking about Brimstone head. We were talking about Kaap de goede hoop & it's translation. lol. Unless Brimstone head is the translation? I don't think so though. :)

[@yoshibro20]

the sad tale of the monkees

[@vincentheartland2088]

Set to 1.5x and enjoy a swaggy quickmarch :)

[@andrewman8763]

In the liner notes says it's written by Chris Martin?? From Coldplay? no way

[@Catasros]

@Golddragon9293 well, I suppose they just mixed together two famous sealegends that (more or less) everyone knows about...

[@yoshibro20]

@pegasus249 i think its David Jeremiah

[@dragorider93]

@Aquafrostsheke actually brimstone head is in newfoundland

[@dragorider93]

want rum

[@Grotolaz50]

pegasus249 --> it's David Jeremiah.

[@holyexlxf]

Did anyone else notice that the accompaniment sounds an awful lot like the Jurassic Park theme?

[@MLMusicBox]

@pegasus249 ... Don't know, but it sure isn't Davy Jones. :>

[@Golddragon9293]

I don't get how they got to Davy Jones sailing the Flying Dutchman. I'm dutch and that ship belonged to Willem van der Decken(of the decks), a dutch man cursed by God that whould sail Kaap de goede Hoop(srry don't know the translation) for eternity.

[@MugenYomi]

Wouldn't the translation be the Flying Dutchman? At least, based on the rest of your comment he sails said ship and is cursed to sail continue sailing it, unless God got him a new boat in the myth?

[@Phantomsbreath]

Possibly the only decent song I've heard on the entire album.

[@ancvet2720]

Why not 20 fathoms deep. As a fellow fathom connoisseur and put put national champion, This song makes no sense! I’d rather it be 20 fathoms deep than 40

[@tinker.belle.501.]

I love 😍😘😻💘❤💓💕💖💗💙💚💛🧡💜💝💞💟❣this song.

[@bloodvampire22]

I love this and pirate of black tide
