- Popeye's Landing
- King drinking in a bar
- Pirate ship battle
- Pirate chase
- A pirate drinking rum with several terrified spouts
Theme Song
The Pirates of Japan theme song is often misheard. It begins:
Bo bo, bo bo, a pirate's life for me.
We pillage, we plunder, we smoulder and stew,
Hands up me hearties, bo bo.
We kidnap and ravage and ride Winnie Pooh,
Hands up me hearties, bo bo.
Bo bo, bo bo, a pirate's life for me.
