Good review and great picks, Gibbs! And I really like what you wrote about Hoist the Colours, as I never really thought of it like that. Well done.

Oh, and I don't think you made any HUGE mistakes this time. :)

- Dead Man's Chest : I love how Gibbs look drunk when he's singing it, but this is surely not my favorite (too short).
 * Well, it isn't really to say which song straight from the films is best compared to the song you know(like the whole song rather than just a small bit of it). But to each is own, I guess...even though this song wasn't my favorite either. haha xD

''- My Jolly Sailor Bold : I love the fact that at the begining, Scrum is singing it in the tavern, like a joyful song, but that when Tamara is singing it, the song become really hypnotic song. But when I saw that the song wasn't invented for the film like Hoist The Colours, I was really disappointed. ''- Pyrate Bryde : (But it make me ask : if they invented a song for a short film, why they didn't invented one for a real big film ?)
 * Well, that's the beauty of these films. While providing entertainment, these films also gives us a good view in history(even though it's fairly fictional), which includes having some good piratey songs too. It's ok to have newly created songs, but it's great to hear some real songs that go way back...well, in my opinion at least. There is a funny story regarding Jolly Sailor Bold, which I mentioned below as it felt more appropriate to do so as per the query.
 * But to answer the question from Bryde...well, that's a bit complicated. It was from my understanding that the song from Wedlocked was not made/chosen by T&T; unless if a song is needed for the story(which until others, Bryde was not) T&T didn't need to write it. As I said in the main post, the song with lyrics only appeared at the ending credits. Though I wouldn't say they never make their own songs...Hoist the Colours was made, was it not? ;)

''Now... Pirates 5. Do you think they must put a song in it ? Or do you think that it's enough ? If you want a song, do you want a song invented just for the movie, or a song that already exist ? If you want a song that already exist, I imagine it's because you have an idea of what song, so what it is ?''
 * Well, that's the tricky thing. I remember something that happened shortly after filming for OST was finished(around November 19, 2010):
 * I had a certain inside source while the film was in production...though I wasn't told BIG spoilerific infos(it was mainly to clarify on if rumors and such were true or not). Anyway, I asked my source if there was a song used for OST or not, but he/she said "no song". That nearly devastated me, as I was used to hearing a song, but I thought to myself that OST wasn't really going to follow the previous films too much(glad I took my advice lol xD). But then, having seen much later that Jolly Sailor Bold was sung, I nearly freaked with shock and happiness...mostly because it was a song I never knew existed! (nor did anyone else apparently)
 * But back to my point of the matter, in answering said questions. Yes, I want a song(after four movies with songs, I expect a song in the fifth). I honestly wouldn't mind a new song, but it would be great to see an already existing song...as that was one of the things I liked about Jolly in OST. But if they were to choose the latter, I doubt it'd be a song any of us knows full well about(as per reasons I stated above in me tale).
