The Fearful Pirate Don Karnage, later temporarily renamed The Fearful Pirate Dewey Duck, is a song featured in the 19th episode of DuckTales 2017.
Context and Summmary[]
The self-aggrandizing Fearful Pirate Don Karnage song is a musical number composed by Don Karnage in the 2017 Continuum. He and his Sky Pirates sing it while robbing aircrafts, thus confusing the attacked crew too much for them to think to defend themselves.
The first version of the song is performed twice, first as the Pirates rob Scrooge McDuck, then later as Dewey Duck kickstarts the song in the middle of a battle (taking advantage of the pirates' ingrained reflexes), distracting them long enough to escape.
An alternate version is sung by Dewey Duck alongside the crew when they take over Scrooge's plane, with lyrics altered to fit the fact that Dewey has temporarily become the Captain of the Iron Vulture.
