"The Captain Jack Penguin Rap of Glory", usually called "Jack's Rap", is a wildly successful rap song by the beloved, obscure band Greasy Spoon. Famous for its one-hit-wonder songs that top the charts, sell millions, and vanish, this is their fourth song. Its topic is the world-renowned, infamous Captain Jack Penguin, the master pirate extraordinaire that has a serious hatred for Rockhopper. The song was released on September 1, 2011 by Club Penguin Music Records and achieved a Platinum certification within a week of release.
Background
The song was written by the band in October 2010, and decided to contact GGD to deliver a rap verse in the song, which was recorded on November 2, 2010. GGD wrote his verse, while Captain Jack Penguin sent his permission and complements to Greasy Spoon. It is unknown if Greasy Spoon are planning to include this single on an album, but it is being thought that an album will be released in late 2012. "Jack's Rap" is only 2 minutes and 9 seconds in run-length but was praised by critics for its originality and Rockhopper sea-shanty-influenced instrumental. Greasy Spoon produced the song themselves. Originally DJ Crow and Yusei were approached to produce.
Lyrics
^ Melody
<poem> GREASY SPOON: My hat's named Jasmine, My ship the Privateer, I am better than Rockhopper I'm the grandest of the grand
I'm the greatest Of high seas captains -and if you're not for me I'll take you captive.
I kick federal rear Throw my ship to high gear You'll be eating my foam You can not catch, me
Evading It is quite easy When your main enemy Is the CNIC
You will always remember That this was the day That you nearly caught Captain Jack Penguin!
-and may you always remember That I am the master pirate Over Rockhopper
I sink ships I steal stuff Fight weenies! -and the C N I C They dread me!
Now I know that R H Has a giant heart of gold -but I'm gone be his killing From my guns he'll be spilling!
------------------------------------- GGD: Jack's win's Immeasure'ble Ship full of treasure-ble Kickin' agents' butt In all ways imagine'ble!
Fattening his wallet While he's making R H a big joke When people touch ol' Jasmine He will slit that penguin's throat!
All know That they'll 'gonna die If they dare make Jasmine "cry", -and let me tell you one last thing Jack's the best at pirating!
-------------------------------------
GREASY SPOON: I ain't lookin' back On the job I do Got the greatest crew R H has no clue.
-and I even write whole books for fun -and they sell millions of copies While Rockhopper's got no funds!
Now I'm rappin' see Take that you wannabes! Kickin' agent's butts -and makin' Rockhopper envy!
Jack Peng to the end! Now hoist up the colors -and sail on fair winds!
You will always remember
That this was the day
That you nearly caught Captain Jack Penguin!
-and may you always remember That I am the master pirate Over Rockhopper
I sink ships I steal stuff Fight weenies! -and the C N I C They dread me!
Now I know that R H Has a giant heart of gold -but I'm gone be his killing From my guns he'll be spilling!
Yeah. </poem>
