Yo, ho, yo ho...and why don't I have a Pirates icon?

I picked up the soundtracks to Pirates 2 & 3 over the holidays, because despite their over-the-top moments here and there the PotC movies resonate with me on all sorts of levels that I feel more than I can verbalize, and the music is part of that and helps evoke that sense of...joy. Enjoyment. Liking-ness, excitement? *waves hands* Vocab seems to be switched off tonight. But. Hans Zimmer does all manner of awesomeness with musical scores, and these two are no exception. There's a playful epic grandeur that I love about it. Thus. I subject you to a handful of the bits that keep sticking in my head.

Up is Down

One Day

Drink Up Me Hearties

Davy Jones

Wheel Of Fortune

As usual, if links are wrong, yell and I'll fix. Enjoy. ^_^

Those scores are part of why i adore that trilogy to the fullest. I'm very rarely impressed with films nowadays and the PotC, and it's sequels all are favorites of mine. I've seldom seen such well done writing, much less PLAYING among the actors, the crew and everyone. The score was just icing in the cake! XD

I liked the first and second movies, and part of the third, but the ending ruined it for me. (And I really didn't like that I had to sit through the credits to see the final scene) And other than the song when all those people who are getting hanged started singing, I don't remember the sound track. >_>;

You know, is it just me, or did the ending just not seem...'Disney' like?

Giant Priestess leads to hentai and Giant Kakren leads to tentacle porn. Grab your pirate hat and a bottle of rum, and we are all set to go.
