The Zipper Bunch Band Show (PILOT)
Puzzled Pete for Petey the Pirate
AGE: 34 (male)
BORN: Baltimore, Maryland
A loudmouth former captain and blabbermouth buccaneer who spins tall tales on his experiences sailing on the seven seas quite frequently. Even though he has been away from ship duty for eons, he tells, he never misses a chance to paint vivid pictures of the swashbuckling stories of derring-do. This guy is a regular whirlwind of chatter, stirring up chaos faster than you can say "shiver me timbers!" Sure, Petey cam be a real bossyboots from time to time, always sticking his nose in where it doesn’t belong like an elephant in the room, but during even the hard times for his mates, he sometimes shows a flicker of kindness underneath his blustery exterior.
Must be able to put on a on-and-off loudmouth stereotypical cartoon pirate voice, while maintaining the idea of the voice examples down below, and also to be able to sing as well in said voice.

-Ey, look who’s talkin’ -ere, ‘ye stubborn stallion. I’m blind in me one wee eye, ‘ya see? ‘N ye’ call that bruisin’ painful? Ha! I had lost an eye o' mine, 'n that’s jus' a wee-wee scrape on that sharp leg o' yers, ‘ya here?
It jus' doesn't seem t' stick t' 'im the first time, does it? That's fer sure, Zippo sure be somethin' else, but 'tisn't perfect nor charmin' t' say the least. Take it from me, the loudmouth. Ye don’t 'ave a spare drink thar by any chance?
Oh, I guess ye could’ve heard that scurvy dog say yer name if ye'd at least quiet down fer once! Landlubbers these days, hmph…
