"Shakin' All Over" - Johnny Kidd and the Pirates



Oh wait, wrong thread?

I'm not much of a pirate, but my kids could easily contribute in swiss german dialect. This one here is one of their favorite audio plays at the moment, on heavy rotation.

Storyline: (spoiler alert!)

Nilo the fairytail uncle goes for a stroll at the lake of Zurich, where he meets his old friends Fritz the fisherman and Schlötterli the knight. They decide to join Fritz for a boat tour on the lake. Instead of catching a fish, they accidentally pull maritime biologist Xenia on board, who searches for a missing population of Axolotl. Schlötterli fumbles with the boat motor which explodes, and pirate Seebart, pretending to be a harmless old man, comes to "rescue". Once he gets our friends in his boat, he reveals his true identity, takes them captive and has them guarded by the sea monster Krakakli. Our friends realize that not only them are hold prisoners by the pirate, but also the missing axolotls. They manage to convince the sea monster Krakakli to release them. Krakakli was led to believe by the pirate that he was allergic to water and therefore had to stay on the ship, obey the pirate and serve him. Realizing his mistake, Krakakli happily allies with our friends, they bring the axolotl back to Mexico, and pirate Seebart gets captured by the sea police.

Arrrrrrr, here's the original:

I'll keelhaul the lot o' ya', ya scurvy sons o' sea dogs ...

Are ye ready kids?

Aarrgghh , it are be milk!

Yeah I know this is a bit late to the party, but Steve Vai has a contribution on "Play Guitar Like A Pirate"

Not pirate talk - but Lemmy Kilmister shall do.

History of this - here are two videos - both from finnish dairy company VALIO

First one was made few decades ago - it is here - the guy says "I've never drunk milk" - and the text says "And you can see that"




Years later - some advertizing folks got the idea, that if they'd get Lemmy to replicate the ad in it's original location - it would be fantastic. So they contacted him - and he said YES !!! - they shooted this - and not long after that he died. But his family said - please publish this video - as he was a good openhearted man. So here goes.




Isn't life wonderful ?

ps - my best buddy doesn't speak anything but finnish - he is a roadie, too. He has spent one whole evening with Lemmy drinking after concert - somehow they managed to communicate few hours . . .
