Jump on in and you will see
Just how fun a pool party can be
But don't eat too much before you swim

Someone's screaming, that's not cool
Who threw that Reggie Bar in the pool?
Ronnie, Sally, Bobby and Mike
It's my pool party, we'll do what we like!

The Aquabats - Captain Hampton and the Midget Pirates AMV

Young Jim, as a lad
He looked for adventure
Calamity, danger, whatever was free
So when he turned ten, he packed his belongings
and he left home to find his destiny
Jim just a boy, who's
Head full of legends
Of dungeons and dragons
And pirates and stuff
So that summer he snuck on a schooner
To harpoon tuna
And get real buff
The Captain he said
There's danger ahead
We need some brave men
To sail and then
We'll find us those pirates
Stop them with violence,
To make the ocean safe
Once again."

Ahem.
Now, the pirates the brave Captain was looking for
were the fierce Midget Pirates of Willygoat,
the deadliest pirates in the seven seas.
And although they were wee men,
they had big swords and were known for gutting many,
and leaving few alive.
The Captian knew they were heading towards the Sandwich Isles,
to pillage the giant Ham Farm.
The Captain knew what he must do.
And this, is his story.

Cleaning up the oceans
Captain Hampton and his crew
Trouble in the seven seas
He'll know what to do
Captain, he hates rubbish
To him pirates are just soot
Scallywags and scurvy dogs
Are crushed under his foot.
Captain Hampton (Captain Hampton)
Captain Hampton (Captain Hampton)
Ahoy (Ahoy)
Ahoy (Ahoy)
Pillaging the Pillagers
Triumphantly he'll sail away

Now, seven weeks into the trip
And Jim was sick to death
Of being sick
Some kind of action he wanted
As he searched the seas
For everyday was the same old... stuff
The night he felt like jumping ship
But then he heard a crash
Hit the starboard side of the ship
And bumped him out of his bunk
Onto his bottom
Our heroes drew their swords
As the midgets swarmed aboard
The pirates surprise attack
The tiny buccaneers
Caught us by surprise
As we tried to battle back.

It was horrible.
They were everywhere.
And unlike normal midgets who are usually bright.. and clever..
and.. fun to be around, these Midget Pirates with their beady
little eyes and sharp teeth, bore down on us
like fierce sharks in a feeding frenzy of blood!
Slashing at us with their swords!
Gutting our bellies!
Poking our bums!
Clipping our knees!
We knew not what to do,
for the Captain was nowhere to be found!
Where was the Captain?
Where was the Captain?
Where was the Captain?

Cleaning up the oceans
Captain Hampton and his crew
Trouble in the seven seas
He'll know what to do
Captain, he hates rubbish
To him pirates are just soot
Scallywags and scurvy dogs
Are crushed under his foot.
Captain Hampton (Captain Hampton)
Captain Hampton (Captain Hampton)
Ahoy (Ahoy)
Ahoy (Ahoy)
Pillaging the Pillagers
Triumphantly he'll sail away

La la la la la la la, la la la la la.
La la la la la la la, la la la la la.
La la la la la la la, la la la la la.
La la la la la la la, la la la la la.

Captain Hampton (Captain Hampton)
Captain Hampton (Captain Hampton)
Ahoy (Ahoy)
Ahoy (Ahoy)
Pillaging the Pillagers
Triumphantly he ran away!

The Aquabats! - Awsome Forces

I was just relaxing here, listening to some cheerful ska by the Aquabats and decided to post some of their songs here :)
So today it is Awesome Forces! mashed up with some footage from the Edd Wood's "Plan 9 from Outer Space" (and this movie ain't THAT bad, no matter what they say!)



Well have you seen us?
We summon awesome forces
We are the ones that myths and legends talk about
We're so far beyond your definitions
We cannot die, we will not be broken

We have been chosen, the lone protectors
To rescue those who can't survive
The onslaught of those Trojan horses
We cannot die, we will not be broken
No, no, no
No way
No, no, no
Listen up kids

So many years, so many broken mirrors
And yet the truth remains so clear
If you do not like us, you might have to fight us
We cannot die, no way

We are your average ordinary superhuman
Punishers of evil, rock and roll band
And we've been designated to save this crazy world
We cannot die, for this is our destiny
Come on now

Here we are now, five lone men
Standing on the edge of disaster
Holding the sword of justice
And watch the hammer fall on all those who oppose us
For we are they, and they are we, the Aquabats
We cannot die, no way

We are your average ordinary superhuman
Punishers of evil, rock and roll band
And we've been designated to save this crazy world
And we must win, for this is our destiny
This is our destiny
This is our destiny

Music #16

And we continue with The Aquabats, and one of my favourite songs from this awesome band...
The calm sly relaxing tune contrasts with the lyrics and makes it even more ironic.

THE AQUABATS - Chemical Bomb

I was at the supermarket
Watching people cut in line
I started thinking about human nature
What would you do
if there was no more food?

My mind began to wander
About greed and hunger
And just how many other countries
Are getting ready for another war

But the sun was shining
And everything seemed fine
So count me in
I'll see you on the other side

Chemical bomb
Chemical bomb
Eyes melt, Skin explodes
Everybody's dead
It won't be long
It won't be long
People gonna run around
Losing their heads
A river of blood
Who's gonna live?
The earth is tired of human kind
And I think this world
Is gonna wash up in Hell

La la la la la
La la la la la
La lala la la la la

Then I had another vision
In the crowded grocery store
I saw the Pale Rider on his horse
Decapitating people in the parking lot
And all the shoppers were beasts
What could I do to hide?
Back in this world of humankind
I think we've already lost our minds

But the sun was shining
And everything seemed fine
So count me in
I'll see you on the other side

Chemical bomb
Chemical bomb
Eyes melt, Skin explodes
Everybody's dead
It won't be long
It won't be long
People gonna run around
Losing their heads
A river of blood
Who's gonna live?
The earth is tired of human kind
And I think this world
Is gonna wash up in Hell

La la la la la
La la la la la
La lala la la la la
maybe.... maybe... maybe...

The Aquabats in COLOR!

This was a demo the aquabats made in 1999 to pitch to networks to try and get funding for a pilot. There was no real episode ever filmed but they've made it look like there was a whole season's worth of stuff.

The Aquabats - Playdough
When I was a boy I used to live in corduroy
OP shirts and slip-on Vans.
My life was so simple
I had not one pimple,
My everyday was made up of these plans:
To ride my bike to Thrifty's,
Run past the balls and ice cream and
find the Star Wars figurines.
Thinking of my action men,
Kung-Fu grip and all,
What happened to them all?

[Chorus]

Running through my old life
Looking for my lost toys
Where has all my fun gone?
Now that we're all older
Before we grow much colder
Let's all look forward to the new dawn
An anthem for all lost toys
Now that we're all big boys
We'll stand together and sing this song
We'll sing this song
It's not too long
So everybody sing along

When I was a little man
Playdough came in a little can
I was Star Wars' biggest fan
Now I'm stuck without a plan
GI Joe was an action man
Shaggy drove the mystery van
Devo was my favorite band
Take me back to my happy land

Now my brothers and sisters
I don't mean to make a scene
But I lost my action figures
and it makes me want to scream
Greedo, Chewbacca, Luke, R2, and Han,
3PO, Yoda, Bobafett, Obi Wan
Green Machine, Suckerman
Silly Putty, Lincoln Logs
Sitting in my Underoos
Reading christmas catalogs
What happened to my action men and all?
What happened to it all?

Running through my old life
Looking for my lost toys
Where has all my fun gone?
Now that we're all older
Before we grow much colder
Let's all look forward to the new dawn
An anthem for all lost toys
Now that we're all big boys
We'll stand together and sing this song
We'll sing this song
It's not too long
So everybody sing along

When I was a little man
Playdough came in a little can
I was Star Wars' biggest fan
Now I'm stuck without a plan
GI Joe was an action man
Shaggy drove the mystery van
Devo was my favorite band
Take me back to my happy land

Take me back to my happy land
Take me back to my happy land
Take me back to my happy land
Take me back to my happy land
