Us Pirates We're Hardcore ( a Tik Tok by Ke$ha parody)

by thehobbitgangster

Published April 7, 2010

In Song parodies

Woke me up this morning feeling like a pirate
grab my eye-patch and my sword, I’m gonna rock this island
Up on deck, that’s where I strut with plenty of swagger
Cause no one messes with me, yo I got a dagger

talking bout
gonna go get some gold (gold)
treasure huntin’ never gets old (old)
You gotta be pretty bold (bold)

N-n-now
plunder some merchant’s ship (ship)
send them on a trip (trip)
laugh as their ship sinks…

chorus:
Yo ho! Hey let’s go!
Cap’n party on this boat
Tonight Im’ma fight
underneath the moonlight
Ahoy! Better watch for
Us pirates we’re hardcore, Aargh!
OOooooOOOO
OOOOooooOOO

repeat chorus

Ain’t got no manners at all, when I speak it’s all swears.
Ain’t got no home of my own, but the ocean’s right here.
And all the dudes are lining up cause they hear we’re fo’ show
But we kick ‘em to the curb unless they look like Jack Sparrow

I’m talking bout
we drink til we fall down (down)
sea chanties our favorite sound (sound)
feet never touchin’ the ground (ground)

N-n-now
landlubbers getting scared (scared)
fight me if you dare (dare)
you better be prepared (pared0
Yeah yo looking scared…

chorus 2X


Bridge:
I blow things up
Burn houses down
while speaking in
a sweet accent

put your hands up
surrender now
go walk the plank
you are shark bait

I’ll blow you up
burn your house down
while speaking in
a sweet accent

put your hands up
put your hands up
put your hands uuuuuppppp!!!

spoken: now this ship’s not a-hopping til I'm on board

chorus to the end!!!!!

I just sang along to your "Poker Face"/coffee addict parody, so I definitely wanted to come and check this one out too. Good parodies are very difficult to write - I applaud you! Most of the lines fit just right with the original song. Weird Al could probably use your help for his next album. ;)

hey thanks again to everyone for reading this piece! I'm currently filming a music video for it. @spike71294, walking the plank is just way for suspenseful. :) By the way if anyone does write a parody I'd be happy to help/critique!

Wow! This was halorious. I can't stand the origional but I am in love with this version. Also, I tried writing a parody of a couple songs and it is a lot harder than it looks so you did a really good job!

This was fantastic! I could actually imagine kesha singing this in a pirate video lolz!
And by the way it's a myth that pirates made people walk the plank in order to kill them.
Actually they just threw them off board.
But that's so boring isn't it?

Lol this was pretty funny, I was actually laughing in real life and singing to it. Good job there lol.

I think maybe you could elaborate more as to why they are pirates. This is just a straight up "I'm pwnage" rap which isn't particularly original in terms of theme. However, your execution is and hence I'm giving you a "like".

Good luck lol.

The entire time I was readin' this, the beat of the songs was in my head and the singer's voice was saying the lyrics!:lol: I was smilin' like a fool! xp Very clever! You have to make another!
It also reminded me of the "Go Cops!" version they made of this song too. :]

Hey! So I'd like to thank everyone for the positive comments. And for the comment about how "sinks" doesn't really fit that well, I sort of envisioned it being said kind of low and dropped off at the end and all synthesized-y so it fit better if that makes sense. Oh, well! Thanks again!

Amazing! I am laughing so hard right now. This time I actually got the song playing right with it, it fits! I can't stop laughing with this one. You had a hilarious bridge, and the song makes sense,(which alot of parodys don't) and everything about it is so funny. I wish I could write stuff like this, I give you props. Great job, and keep up the good work!

Lol, this was brilliant! It would be even cooler if you made the lyrics written in the way a pirate would sing it, but...this was awesome. Some lines don't flow smoothly, but I'm sure this was very, very hard. Great idea. Love it! Keep up the good work-

Hahaha, dude, I loved this! It was pure genius! You've got mad skills man, my props go to you and only you! I loved the Jack Sparrow line, and the daggers one, oh, oh, oh and the surrender part! I loved it all! *becomes a loyal minon to your all-mighty-song writing-awesomeness...ness* P.S. The laugh as their ship sinks part could be changed to laugh as I sink their ship or something that rhymes with that so it would flow better. *poofs*

" Cause no one messes with me, yo I got a dagger "

I don't know why, but that line made me giggle pretty loudly... I'm in a giggly mood. That was a pretty funny song parody, much better than most Tik Tok parodies I've seen.

"N-n-now

plunder some merchant’s ship (ship)

send them on a trip (trip)

laugh as their ship sinks… "

The last line in there kind of ruins the continuity, in my opinion. Otherwise this was good. ^-^
