Yo Ho, Yo Ho
ARRR! It be that grandest time o' th' year, International Talk Like A Pirate Day!

Now, it happens that I wrote a song fer the occasion, which the Pirate Guys (Ol' Chumbucket an' Cap'n Slappy) have graciously deemed ta be "the official chanty". This song has been very popular, which I find pleasin' an' gratifyin'. Yer a foine bunch o' scalawags, and so I've decided that this be a good time ta make the song a permanent freebie. So's ye can download it without payin' or nothin'.

And, just ta make things interestin', I also has a ditty called "Hey, It's Can(n)on", which the Harry Potter fans might find ta their tastes.

Have a grand TLAPD, and ARRR!
