The video presents a theatrical musical excerpt titled “Vengeance,” performed by three speakers (A, B, and C) who adopt pirate‑themed personas reminiscent of Captain Hook and his crew. Speaker C, embodying a Hook‑like figure, muses on abandoning his rivalry with Peter Pan, then reasserts his desire for revenge, describing a fantastical pirate school, violent fantasies, and absurd wishes (e.g., a pink umbrella, a baby chimp, champagne). Speakers B and C exchange repetitive, chant‑like lines that blend dark vengeance, comedic absurdity, and meta‑commentary (“Leave it to Rob Bagley to cover new ground”). The piece reimagines the classic Peter Pan narrative through a modern, irreverent lens, emphasizing themes of revenge, identity, and pirate mythology while employing surreal humor and repetitive lyrical structures typical of musical theater.
Chapters
Peter Pan and his Bloodwaking in 1954. Musical is about an age-defying boy, his fairy companion Tinker Bell, and the darling children and their adventures in the mysterious Neverland. In the song "Vengeance," the notorious Captain Hook is describing the good little Captain killing his nemesis Peter Pan.
What do you say we hash this over with the crew? Summon the men! As you say, Captain. All hands on deck! Ah, Cuckoo, Cookson, Starkey, Bill Jukes, Peg Leg Breven, Newler, my old crew. Captain wishes to hash over something of great importance with us lads. Captain, hash on. Well, boys, Mr. Smee here thinks I should pack my bags, sail away, and leave my old friend Peter Pan. So I ask you, could I? Would I? Way anchor, hoist sail, and leave him all alone? Should I?
You mean retire, sir? Retire?
I could sail away to far Cathay and lead a life of ease. Turn my back on all I've known and learnt. But the thought of Peter flying free would bring me to my knees. No matter where I roam, so what's the point? Don't I want to be a hero? Don't I want to be a dandy? Don't I want to get me vengeance? Clearing Peter from my brain! Don't I want to be in the army?
You're my idol!
Children shrieking when they see me. Yay! I get attention from the ladies. All for causing Peter pain. Listen to your fearless leader. Once I get me off your finger, life will go from sweet to sweeter, I say.
Hit the things you always come for.
Yes!
Bitch bums, baby giants.
Ooh!
Bitch bums, you all tremble. Ooh!
Could I get a pink umbrella?
Sure!
Learn to play the piano? Why not? A cute piece of pork and soda?
Soda!
Anything my heart desires?
Say it!
Well, I'd like to buy a baby chimp and then feed him on champagne.
One chimp!
I'd like to start a little pirate school for the kids. That's fine! I'd like to clear my every thought of that peanut from my brain. More than his death. I want a death that's cruel. Gather round, old lads. Can't you see it? Peter dead. Me happy at last. My own pirate school. I'll teach the three E's. Brogery. Larceny. Arseny? A hook for every boy and a boy on every hook!
A hook for every boy and a boy on every hook! Come on, boys! Might be the death of Peter.
Might go from sweet to sweet, could I say?
Are you gonna make it with this? Yes! Are you gonna explore it? Yes! He's got it, I'm keen.
Oh yes, and I want to make it fly! Leave it to Rob Bagley to cover new ground. So Peter, treasure sweet, but nothing sweeter than vengeance!
