Best Pirate VGM themes?

I was just replaying Rayman 2 for the first time in a while and realized "Pirate" can be considered a VGM genre. So here’s to another "favorite X level theme" thread.

As for me, my favorite Pirate theme is actually not from R2, but from Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko. Pirate themed level, Cutcheese Island. I absolutely love that track, never get tired of it.

Well, ignoring the obvious inclusion of anything from the Pirates of the Caribbean games, the only ‘pirate’ game theme that springs to mind for me is Buccaneers from FFXI, that plays appropriately enough when pirates attack the Selbina to Mhaura ferry.

I wouldn’t call it ‘best’ (it’s rather short and, like much of the FFXI OST, very repetitive) but it does suit the ominous setting and tempo of battle very well.

Songs that sound pirate-like

I’m a bit disappointed no one has mentioned a single track from DKC2. You know, that one game where you fought off all of the freaking pirate kremlings?:

K Rool Returns (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82gyx1KJl04)
Jib Jig (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSFQxuj2CEU)
Lockjaw’s Saga (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdUNrVzT97s)
Snakey Chantey (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWZDv0CdUB4)
Krook’s March (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SW6xqrabrYo)
Kaptain K Rool (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zvg2cKgCLR4)

Granted I’d have to say my favorite pirate related track is Pirate Ocean (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mI0drkPjyrM) from Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz. Its so chaotic and captures the feeling of an intense naval battle. I might be biased though since Hideki Naganuma composed it and he’s my favorite composer.

Definitely agree with those two that arthur already mentioned:
Golden Sun – Karagol Sea (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KyIOgjniohA)
Skies of Arcadia – Air Pirate Secret Base (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yut4clvvqkc)

May I also add this one here 😉
Tingle’s Rosy Rupeeland – Pirate Ship (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Ey695Y_7Gc)

YOU’RE disappointed Lijik? Has no one here ever played Pirates! Gold for the Genesis?

Obviously, most every track in that game fits the theme of pirates VERY well; especially the opening jig on the title screen.

Overboard aka Shipwreckers has pirate music.

Merchant Ships From the East – lineage 2

n. sanity beach – crash bandicoot

The Monkey Island Theme. Actually, all music from any Monkey Island game should sound piratey.

As for me, my favorite Pirate theme is actually not from R2, but from Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko. Pirate themed level, Cutcheese Island. I absolutely love that track, never get tired of it.
FUCK YES CUTCHEESE ISLAND

Magical Starsign’s pirate battle theme.

Also:
Eternal Sonata/Trusty Bell – Seize the Artifact for Tallness

Space Pirate Themes, Pirate Base in Ardolis, Pirate Base in Kreeli Comet, and Battle With the Captain.Slag From ‘Ratchet and Clank future:Tools of Destruction’ and All of BG Musics From ‘Ratchet and Clank:Quest for Booty’.
They Made Really Good Pirate Musics. (And It’s Parody of Pirates of Caribbean.) and Shrek The Third Game Has Really Good Pirate Theme Musics Too.

Skullmonkeys has pirate music.

Sea Dogs, certainly. I’ve never seen its sequels, but I would assume they count as well.

Why hasn’t anyone mentioned Pirate’s Gigue from Kingdom Hearts? It’s the only pirate song I really know, but it’s also one of my favorite tracks from KH.

Eternal Arcadia (aka, Skies of Arcadia) and Rayman 2 are my favorite ones.

Motochika’s song from Sengoku Basara X.

The BGM on the Island in Kingsley’s Adventure.

Goddamn is it epic for a game as weird as that one.
