Singing Pirates
I got this movie from the library called "The Pirates of Penzance," taking it to be some low-budged parody of "Pirates of the Caribbean." But it turns out, this is actually a recording of a stage performance of a musical that's been around since the '80s. This production was performed about a decade ago, and interprets the main character as a Jack Sparrow parody. Others apparently spoof Captain Hook, and Gaston from "Beauty and the Beast" (?).
So far, I can't say much about the plot. The singing's so operatic I can't make out most of the words. The guy who looks like Gaston was just hitting on an old lady, but then they started arguing, so now he's lost interest......and now a bunch of girls who look like Mary Poppins are frolicking in a forest.
I feel I'd appreciate this better if I was high.
But even sober, it's good fun.
Hooray for singing pirates!

As you can tell by my Christopher Walken as Captain Hook avatar, I approve.
Wait, THAT's what your icon is? Walken played Hook??
Yep. Last December, there was a live television musical of Peter Pan and Walken played Captain Hook.
So I see! I googled it. Looks like a fun play!
It is.
Animanics (90s cartoon) did a parody of I am the Very Model of a Modern Major General from that musical. The useless things I remember...
Oh nice! They also did a Les Mis spoof, I think.
