- Talking plane and crossbones
- Submarine pirate captain
- The losing of mayor Carlos
- Pirate chase
- Pirates setting the torch aflame
Theme Song
The Pirates of the Great Lakes theme song is often heard at frat parties. It begins:
Oh no, oh no, a pirate's life for me.
We pillage, we plunder, we murder and kill,
Meet up me hearties, oh no.
We kidnap and ravage and make out a will,
Meet up me hearties, oh no.
Oh no, oh no, a pirate's life for me.
