Pirate Song, The by George Harrison – ****

Unreleased.

Though never released officially on record, George did perform this live on Eric Idle’s "Rutland Weekend Television" show in the UK in 1975, which desperately needs to be released onto DVD. A very amusing ditty when you hear it. It sounds like George is going to perform "My Sweet Lord" as the opening chords are identical, but then he suddenly lapses into “Oh, I wish I were a pirate, a pirate’s life for me…” Great stuff!
