Page "Dead Man's Chest" Paragraph 1

The song has been widely used in the arts for over a century.

In 1901 music was added to the lyrics of " Derelict " for a Broadway rendition of Treasure Island.

In 1967, writers for the Walt Disney film company found inspiration in " Derelict " for the sea-song " Yo Ho ( A Pirate's Life for Me )", which was played in the " Pirates of the Caribbean " theme ride at Disneyland.

Astrid Lindgren expanded Stevenson's couplet differently in the script for the 1969 Pippi Longstocking TV series ; the two resulting verses were sung to a West Indian sea shanty.

In the 1978 film Revenge of the Pink Panther, Chief Inspector Clouseau, disguised as a " salty Swedish seadog ," sings a mangled version of the song.

Alan Moore made a play on the song in the 1986 graphic novel Watchmen, the chapter is called " One man on fifteen dead men's chests.

" In 1993, the contemporary " pirate " vocal group, The Jolly Rogers, recorded Mark Stahl's arrangement of Young E. Allison's lyrics, re-released in 1997 on their CD titled " Pirate Gold ".
