* ShoutOut: Several, including a brief retread of the theme from PiratesOfTheCaribbean in ''No Quarter'', the use of [[TreasureIsland "with a bottle of rum and a yo-ho-ho"]] in ''Keelhauled'' and the theme tune to ChuckleVision in Buckfast Powersmash.
** Arrrrr ye forget ''Wolves of the Sea'' which contains the lyrics "The hook of our Captain is looking at you. There's no Peter Pan so what can you do?!"
** They also reference Music/RunningWild in "Scraping the Barrel"
*** That wasn't their song, so it doesn't count.

* EarWorm: The violin/Accordion section of Keelhauled.



* NarmCharm: Yes, they dress up as pirates on-stage. The singer has an extremely cheesy pirate voice. It's awesome. Their songs range from pirate-themed ballads to epically silly songs with lyrics like:
--> Hey! Hey! I want more wenches!
--> Hey! Hey! More wenches and mead!

*** ''Scraping the Barrel'', off of Back Through Time, is a response to some of the band's criticism as being a "gimmicky band" that will eventually become dry. Their response? "If you don't like it, go start your own band."
