Since I totally spaced out on putting a Jolly Rogers song in the episode… Sorry.  Been traveling and sleep deprived… Here’s one of their more well known tracks, “Curvy Girls”.

Here’s their version of “The Derelict” that accidentally became “traditional” and was co-opted by Disney for Pirates of the Caribbean.  (I wasn’t able to find a clip of its use in the film.)

Here’s a cool vintage clip of The Clancy Brothers as mentioned by the guys as an influence on their music and stage show.

And since they mentioned Bounding Main, here’s a tune from them too!
