Talk:Yo Ho (A Pirate's Life for Me)

Lyrics
Are the lyrics to this song copyrighted? --YankeeDoodle14 04:28, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

They are original to Disney they are copyright. Someone just posted them but I reverted on copyvio grounds. I don't know the rules on fair use to know if posting the complete lyrics is OK. I'm playing it safe unless someone has more information. -- Stbalbach 01:30, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Since the lyrics are a derivative work of Robert Louis Stevenson's Dead Man's Chest and even earlier songs, its doubtful that copyright would apply. If it is different enough for copyright to apply, we could still post an except.Suppafly 15:33, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

I posted those lyrics, I'm pretty sure that just stating what the lyrics are isn't classed as copyright infringement. If i'm wrong then thats just stupid, it would mean that anyone who even sings the song without disneys behest would be breaking the law. Plus what is the point in the article if the lyrics aren't included? --Markmagness 09:36, 18 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Well, singing the song in your room or whatever counts as Fair Use - like I said, I'm not sure of the legality of Wikipedia and fair use and lyrics - the other thing is lyrics belong on Wikisource - you might want to check with the folks at Wikisource and see what they say about posting copyright lyrics. -- Stbalbach 14:12, 18 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Hey, the Lyrics are on 1000 pages in the Internet, for example |here, |here and |here so don`t be childish, forget about the POSSIBLE Copyright and put them into the page.


 * Rules is rules WP:Copyright. -- Stbalbach 16:28, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

It should be mentioned that "Somalian Pirates Are We" is loosely based on this.

Disney template
The Dead Man's Chest film Disney template takes up half the article. The film is only a minor part of the history of this song. At best that template is fan cruft at worst a giant banner advertisement for Walt Disney. -- Stbalbach 13:20, 4 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Well, it was written by Disney employees for a Disney ride, so... a minor part is a severe understatement. More like a lie. More like "the only part". Perhaps you were thinking of this song?

Jonas Brothers?
The section claiming the artist as Jonas Brothers and Album as 	DisneyMania 4 is misleading, so I've removed it. (Did they write it? No. Were they the first performers? No. Is a sea-shanty pop rock? No.) -- Mr\ Lore 16:42, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Hans Zimmer
What About Hans Zimmer he was the composer of the song in pirates of the carribean —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.161.196.81 (talk) 08:35, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Any sources for that? -- Avant-garde a clue - hexa Chord 2  13:08, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Nope—he wrote the new music for the PotC films, which also quote this classic theme here and there. – 2001:569:50B0:C800:95A6:236:FBA1:835F (talk) 08:59, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
