Pirates of the Caribbean...name that tune!

It's driving me crazy...I know I know that tune they were playing in the bar on Tortuga. We even play it at our session! I just can't think of the name! Has anyone else here seen the movie? Can you put me out of my misery?

Saw the movie. Can't name the tune. Planxty Brawl?

Is it Joe Cooley's Jig? Now it's out of my head entirely, but playing through some of the session tunes I know, that's what seems to be closest.

How about posting some ABCs when it comes back to you?

I doubt it will. That's part of my problem...I knew it's one that our session plays, which means it's almost certainly in Foinn Seisiún. If I could remember for sure how it went, I could find it, but all the other music in the movie drove it out of my head. I've played through several of the Foinn Seisiún tunes, hoping it would come back to me, and I THINK it may be Joe Cooley's, but I can't be sure...my brain has jig overload!

Here's the ABC for Joe Cooley's (from JC's Tunefinder)...does this sound right to you all?

X: 1
T:Joe Cooley's Jig
R:jig
H:Also played in G, #333. See also "The Angry Peeler", #194
D:Sanctuary Sessions
Z:hn-jig-329
M:6/8
F:http://trillian.mit.edu/~jc/music/abc/m ... _Jig_1.abc 2006-07-08 21:56:37 UT

(note: I had to insert a space between the "K: and the "D" to keep the forum software from converting it to a smiley!)

I know the tune; didn't know the name. Now I have to go see the movie and find out.

It's a hornpipe, possibly two. If you look up the soundtrack CD on Amazon, you'll find a listing for Tow Hornpipes (Tortuga), which could be a typo for Two Hornpipes. Click on the sample.

That was manic.

Sounds familiar, but I'm not pinning it down.

My computer isn't playing it, for some reason.

I can tell you that what I heard in the movie wasn't a hornpipe. It was definitely a jig.

The "Tow Hornpipes" clip is Fisher's.

That's it!

I don't know why I thought (quite firmly, obviously) that it was a jig. See what hearing a lot of orchestrated movie crap does to one's ear?

Think that's bad? I've had <A HREF="http://www.1500videos.com/videos.php?re ... gOcQ">Heat of the Moment</A> stuck in my head all day. Now that's what I call annoying!

Yep -- that's it. I checked the soundtrack CD at Hastings about an hour ago, and Tow Hornpipes is, indeed, a typo. The track is called Two Hornpipes. I don't remember a second one, but it must be in there. I was not, however, inclined to pop for a fifteen buck CD to get only that one track.
