Line #25 AwesomeMusic/PiratesOfTheCaribbean


1	Music/HansZimmer helped crafted much of the tracks that sets the tone of ''Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean'', contributing to the first film that was scored by Klaus Badelt, who was his protege.
2	----
3	* "[[https://youtu.be/s17XDrKuqc4 He's a Pirate]]" that serves as the leitmotif of the entire franchise.
4	** The [[https://youtu.be/JHHcRetNLFc Mario Paint version]] is pretty cool.
5	** What could be better than "He's a Pirate" on its own? [[https://youtu.be/dnbve26vsYI He's a Pirate plus epic guitar]].
6	** There is also a really good [[https://youtu.be/Wm22Yi942cc techno remix]] of it by DJ Tiesto.
7	** [[https://youtu.be/UawzJOtfuPI BobGmbHs impossible remix of the song]] goes from a simple piano cover to a batshit insane remix to an epic orchestral cover.
8	* [[https://youtu.be/8TTUBMTInVE Jack Sparrow's Intro Theme, "The Medallion Calls"]], first scored by Klaus Badelt. That one theme, with the [[IncomingHam character intro]] and TheReveal, made the ''[[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome whole movie]]'' for the first-time viewer. It's also the bridge melody in "He's a Pirate."
9	* [[https://youtu.be/Fur86y7dQJ4 Davy Jones' Theme]], which he [[https://youtu.be/L0JbaZtoKAs plays himself]] [[OminousPipeOrgan on the organ]].
10	* Other notable tracks include the Bach-esque "[[https://youtu.be/eN5ExwsXUiQ The Kraken]]", particularly the moment where the leviathan smashes the ''Edinburgh Trader'' clean in two; and the love/adventure theme from ''At World's End'', presented up-tempo in "[[https://youtu.be/7pmXLjtSEHQ Up Is Down]], and more sedately in "[[https://youtu.be/vKiXAdwJLpk One Day]]."
11	* "[[https://youtu.be/IRSd8faHNhE (Captain!) Jack Sparrow]]" has an especially fitting theme in part 2: alternatively tense and sedate, somewhat ambiguous, and slightly drunk.
12	* "[[https://youtu.be/unwK1X_TGsc Two Hornpipes (Tortuga)]]" is a bouncy, catchy number that's perfect for a brawl in Tortuga.
13	* "[[https://youtu.be/JAxQ6n9dgUE At Wit's End,]]" an epic song when the crew of the Black Pearl undertake the journey to save Jack Sparrow. There is also a heartbreaking and dramatic rendition for Davy Jones theme as he is forced to destroy other pirate vessels under command of Lord Beckett.
14	* [[https://youtu.be/F5J9ATDOqJM "Hoist the Colors."]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3Gd6yMZMDA What shall we die for]] takes "Hoist the Colors" and catapults it into [[OminousLatinChanting Ominous English Chanting]] levels of awesome.
15	* Finally, a small but beautiful motif from the "parasail" scene in ''At World's End'': [[https://youtu.be/xKx611dyQHk#t=2m37s Here at 2:37]] from the "Marry Me" suite which sadly hasn't seen nearly enough of the light of day. It was a crime to leave it off the soundtrack...
16	** [[TearJerker "Part of the Ship...]] [[http://youtu.be/qDJl-GohC74?t=3m10s Part of the Crew..."]]
17	** Will and Elizabeth's theme. Just... God ''damn'', Will and Elizabeth's theme is just heart-swelling. Anakin and Padmé have got nothing on these two. That theme alone could play on loop for several hours and the soundtrack would still be awesome.
18	** Also in the grand finale of [[https://youtu.be/cScVoZWVDLQ#t=1m30s "One Day"]]. First heard on the voyage to World's End, and then completed with TheBigDamnKiss, it's basically the unifying song of the third movie.
19	** Sadly, the [[https://youtu.be/xKx611dyQHk#t=0m50s music from the climactic scene]] ("Part of the Ship"/"Hold On") is only used once in ''World's End'', and not in any other track. Zimmer said he had come up with a musical cue so good, he kicked himself for using it in an existing work.
20	* The wonderful Morricone homage [[https://youtu.be/tzsqAjJnMdA "Parlay"]] from the ''[[Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbeanAtWorldsEnd At World's End]]'' Soundtrack.
21	* And the background score for the Battle of the Maelstrom (track listing; 'I Don't Think Now Is the Best Time') is a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome all by itself. The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra has a darker, alternative tribute version on their ''Best of Hans Zimmer'' album.
22	%%** [[https://youtu.be/9SIx1s750Ak Blackbeard's]] theme from ''On Stranger Tides''.
23	%%** The haunting and unsettling [[https://youtu.be/yCyj0Or4Fw4 Mermaid's]] theme.
24	%%** [[https://youtu.be/PXEhL3mZkrY The Spanish Theme.]]
25	%%** [[https://youtu.be/fi6tvcDInVY Barbossa is Hungry]].
