Theme Song
The Pirates of the Afterlife theme song is often misquoted. It begins:
Foe show, foe show, a pirate's life for me.
We pillage, we plunder, we rifle and loot,
Kick up me hearties, foe show.
We kidnap and ravage and don't give a hoot,
Kick up me hearties, foe show.
Foe show, foe show, a pirate's life for me.
