Is this at all based in history or is it a fabrication from the Disney movie?-- 204.39.56.140 12:32, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
The lyrics were written by Ted Elliot and Terry Rossio, and the score was written by Hans Zimmer. Flamingtorch372 02:54, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
Please be aware that it is probably not wise to include the entire song lyric in a Wikipedia article, as it can be seen as a copyright violation. Please only include brief quotes, and try to concentrate on a song's "real world" significance. Thanks, El on ka 06:02, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
What are these lyrics? I don't recall these lyrics at all from the movie, and they aren't in the soundtrack.
oh! and is it really "haul together"? I thought it was "all together" *shrug*—

These are the Lyrics that Liz sings as she's sailing to Sao Feng's HQ. Just watch the movie again and listen to her.
I've noticed that lately, on Livejournal, this song has been used as a 'theme' of sorts to those who have had their journals/communities deleted because of the "Great Strikethrough '07", as its been called. There's more on the subject on the page on Livejournal here on Wikipedia. Not exactly vital information, but I thought it was interesting and might be worth noting..?
Does anyone know who it is? It looked familiar to Noah Gray-Cabey from 'My Wife and Kids' and more recently 'Heroes', however he is not credited and I could not discern the identity of the singer via the credits or the imdb page for PotC3. Thanks.
I believe that the boy's identification at IMDb.com is under the name cabin boy. the cabin boy's name (as listed at IMDb) is Brendyn Bell. ~ User: Sophiakorichi
Who sang for elizabeth? (its clearly not keira knightley...) ~Sophiakorichi
Actually, It was Keira Knightley. Flamingtorch372 02:53, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
The phrase "By the powers" is a stereotypical sailors slang term (used frequently by Long John Silver in Treasure Island) so needn't nessecarily refer to Calypso. Should speculation about what the song means even be here if it can't be verified? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.208.248.60 ( talk) 05:30, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
Aye, Barbossa even uses it in Curse of the Black Pearl.
Jack: Last time, you left me a pistol with one shot. Hector: By the powers, you're right. Where be Jack's pistol? MythCreator ( talk) 19:45, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
-The speculation on the song is likely "original research," but it DOES sound fairly accurate, and it doesn't take much of a stretch for someone who knows the movies to come to that interpretation. I will say, though, I'm actually surprised that someone who could pull that interpretation together wouldn't recognize the phrase "by the powers" as a common "piratical" phrase.-- Tyranastrasz ( talk) 05:43, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
