Theme Song
The Pirates of California theme song is often heard at frat parties. It begins:
Big toe, big toe, a pirate's life for me.
We pillage, we plunder, we slice and jab,
Act up me hearties, big toe.
We kidnap and ravage and jog away flab,
Act up me hearties, big toe.
Big toe, big toe, a pirate's life for me.
