Who the hell said the South Africans can't ROCK it OUT ?!?! My dad, God rest his soul, loved this song to bits. As a 6 jr old youngster , me and my brother used to listen to this as my dad blasted it at FULL volume on a Saturday afternoon, with a braaivleis on the kole !!! hnorky, you ROCK BIG TIME man. Thanks for the fond memories.
@@alanpreston4324 Wow, it's amazing. I always think how those experiences molded them. My dad died 15th March 2020. All the stories he told me. We won't ever know how it feels to be "in" a war zone. Hope you also have good memories of your dad.
Great song! Loved it the minute I heard it. I remember hearing that it was recorded in someone's garage in Cape Town. This doesn't sound like the version played on the radio at the time. Makes me proud to be a South African and a Boer! God bless, Dave
the band started out in their own garage in Wynberg. A culdesac road, so teenagers (myself included) gathered to stomp out the rhythm. I'm proud to say these guys are my cousins.
Rock lover from Botswana here! When I heard Three Little Pigs by Green Jello for the first time back in 1993 I asked myself, "Did they get the copyright?" Great South African classic.
Damn, I remember this song sooooo vividly. About the hardest rock tune you could hear on "Radio Highveld" in the early 80s (Colin Fluxman and Wessels Germishuizen DJ'ing...)
Thank you for posting this! My brothers brought this record to the states when we moved from S.Africa. I used to play this song over and over. Then we lost it in a house fire. Everyone always thought I was talking about Renegade by Styx. I'm happy I can share this song now :) Thanks! You can find the lyrics at 1001 sa songs at wordpress, the buccaneer
This hit song crossed over into neighboring Rhodesia as well! Memories of my classmate by the name Owen Bandama who freaked out to this heavy metal rock ditty.
lol, and was that UPstairs or downstairs at the Clifton.? You no doubt remember the Grotto in Sea Point and Blazes at the top of the Sanlam building. What was that jol called at the H Inn in Bellville .... Omega Ltd also played there.

Love it! I was 26 when this came out and thought it was amazing! Haven't changed my mind since then. It's a classic!
Great song!

Cape Town memories , hell , i never thought i would hear this again. Lekker man
I was 13 when this came out and we all sang this song at school. It was great. Thanks for the memory. I was surprised how many words I remembered.
I was 5 years old when I first heard this, my father played it and since then I've been a metal and rock fan. Thanks Dad! Loved this for 30 years!
Who are the 3 fuckers that disliked this song? I want names and addresses.
Agree with you 100% Michael !!
They don't have mothers!
for your precious love
Michael Halbhuber now there are 10 idiots who disliked this song. I loved it though
Some mothers have them, and they live.

It's a different key from green jello so I don't think so
On repeat in 2024 👌

My South African friends, I wish someone can help me with the lyrics of this song . Thanks a lot.
7 years too late; but here they are:
Well they got me on the beach
And we were just out of reach
Of the forty-second squadron
When I heard the captain screech
Get down on the sand
Don't you waste my time
'Cause I gotta get that gold
And sail for England on the tide
And the Buccaneer said I'll see you dead
I'll see you swingin' from the yard arm
The buccaneer sang in a nasal twang
There's enough gold here to start on
There's enough gold to get high on
Save me! Whoa, oh, oh, sa-aave me
Save me fro-o-om
The Buccaneer
@@rickoshea8138 Thank you, good news will never too late.
I found this song looking for a soldier's song mentioned in, ",The Emma Gees" by Herbert W. McBride. It's a WW1 memoir.
Is this an adaptation or original writing?
Great song!
