Mad Jack the Pirate
Mad Jack the Pirate is an animated television series. The show was created by Bill Kopp and was directed by Jeff DeGrandis (who previously worked together on Toonsylvania). On American television, the show was broadcast on Fox Kids.
The concept is of the adventures of the rather unsuccessful and cowardly Pirate Jack (voiced by Bill Kopp) who despite his failures never doubts his own excellence and his dim-witted anthropomorphic rat sidekick Snuk (voiced by Billy West) as they sail the seas on their ship the Sea Chicken.
Currently, in Eastern Europe, the cartoon has a DVD release from Prooptiki under the title Piratul Jack cel Teribil and in Turkey VCD from Kanal D Home Video under the title Çılgın Korsan Jack. Also in Turkey, the cartoon was shown on Jetix Play and in Poland on Fox Kids.
On July 23, 2001, Mad Jack and other properties of Saban Entertainment were sold to The Walt Disney Company.

The Pirate
The Pirate is a 1948 American musical film produced by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. With songs by Cole Porter, it stars Judy Garland and Gene Kelly with co-stars Walter Slezak, Gladys Cooper, Reginald Owen, and George Zucco.
Plot
Manuela Alva (Judy Garland), who lives in the small Caribbean village of Calvados, dreams of being swept away by the legendary Pirate, Mack "the Black" Macoco. However, her aunt and uncle (who have raised her) insist that she marry the town mayor, the rotund and bullying Don Pedro (Walter Slezak).
Shortly before her wedding, Manuela visits a nearby town, Port Sebastian. A traveling circus has arrived, and Serafin (Gene Kelly), its handsome leader, flirts with all the girls in the song "Nina." When he encounters Manuela, however, he falls in love at first sight with her. Serafin compliments Manuela's beauty and begs her not to marry Don Pedro, but, angered, she hurries away. That night, however, Manuela cannot sleep, and she sneaks out to go see Serafin's show.
At the show, Serafin hypnotizes Manuela, thinking that she will admit she loves him. Instead, the hypnotized girl wildly sings and dances about her love for "Mack the Black." Serafin awakens Manuela with a kiss, and she flees in horror.

The Pirate
by: Hanne HukkelbergHe woke up
Six o'clock AM
In his boat
Drifting far out nowhere.
Nothing matters now, he thought.
He had decided
To do it properly.
Some friends
Helped him out:
The brown liquor,
Some white, little ones.
A dive into
Infinity, eternity.
God´s haven.
A dive into water.
The rocks pull him down.
The fight he fought inside
Had gone on far too long now.
At least long enough.
I want to do myself and mine
A last and final favor.
He tightened his backpack,
I'm ready to dive,
start a second life.
A dive into
Infinity, eternity,
God's haven.
A dive into water.
The rocks pull
His body down
But brings his soul
Even higher,
Even higher.
A dive into
Infinity, eternity,
God's haven.
A dive into water.
The rocks pull
Him down.
A dive into
Infinity, eternity,
God's haven.
A dive into water.
The rocks pull
His body down
But brings his soul
Even higher,
Even higher.
