Bob the tomato and Larry the cucumber.<\/small><\/center><\/p>\n
Over the years the show has grown in popularity and budget, culminating in a marginally successful movie<\/a> back in 2002. With the enhanced budget, they are now able to come up with visuals that are far more compelling than in the early days. It’s not quite Shrek<\/a> quality, but it’s close.<\/p>\n The half-hour shows feature skits and funny songs. In the middle of most episodes they have a section called “Silly Songs With Larry”. Larry (who is a real goof) comes out and sings a silly song. Each time the song is in a different style. One of the most popular is “The Pirates Who Don’t Do Anything.”<\/p>\n The joke here is that the only thing that makes them pirates is the stuff they say they don’t do<\/em>. Then the group Reliant K<\/a> covered the song as part of some humorous re-mix effort.<\/p>\n Then some lunatic<\/a> took that Reliant K song and some Cowboy Bebop footage and made a one of the best music videos I’ve ever seen. (Ok, I haven’t seen that many. But still.)<\/p>\n And finally, Pixy Misa<\/a> added the video to his clip library so you can download it. <\/p>\n UPDATE: Drat. Looks like Pixy’s server caught fire, was hit by a meteror, was struck by lighning, or (worst of all) is having software problems. You can get the vid from %Anime Music Videos<\/a> (who also has the full lyics) or you can get it from me<\/a>.<\/p>\n UPDATE Part II: Ok, so Pixy’s server is working, which means all of the links above are working.

We don’t do anything.<\/small><\/center><\/p>\n
\nI never hoist the mainstay
\nand I never swabbed a poopdeck
\nand I never veer to starboard ‘cuz I never sail at all!
\nAnd I’ve never walked the gangplank
\nand I’ve never owned a parrot
\nand I’ve never been to Boston in the fall!

\n(Which then Larry messes up, by singing about stuff he’s never done which has nothing to do with being a pirate.)<\/p>\n
