Couldn’t understand why cannabis had anything to do with it.
Now I see you wrote “cannibals”
and I am more confused.
Ferdinand Magellan was trying to find the spice islands by sailing west instead of east. He almost made it, but was killed in a skirmish when he agreed to help an island king against his neighbor.
I thought they were cannibals, but they might not have been.
Animaniacs had a great skit on Magellon.
There once was a man, his name was Magellan
A Portuguese skipper, the girls found him cute
He sailed with five ships to find the East Indies
Then come back to Spain with a bounty of loot
The Warners:
Whoopi-ti-yi-yo, oh, happy Magellan!
Starting your journey with hardly a care!
Whoopi-ti-yi-yo, strong, brave Magellan
You'll find the East Indies, you just don't know where!
Yakko:
They crossed the Atlantic and spotted a country
Magellan said...
Magellan:
It's the East Indies at last!
Yakko:
But then someone shouted...
Wakko:
Hey, that's Argentina!
Yakko:
Magellan got cranky and chopped down the mast
The Warners:
Whoopi-ti-yi-yo, settle down, Magellan
Put down that ax! There's no time to despair
Whoopi-ti-yi-yo, keep trying, Magellan
You'll find the East Indies, you just don't know where!
Yakko:
A great storm arose in the mighty Pacific
The five little ships were diminished to three
At last, land was sighted. Magellan was happy
But then someone shouted...
Dot:
Hey, that's Chile!
The Warners:
Whoopi-ti-yi-yo, cheer up, Magellan
Check out your map and don't tear out your hair!
Whoopi-ti-yi-yo, keep trying, Magellan
You'll find the East Indies, you just don't know where!
Yakko:
It took them five months, but they crossed the Pacific
They spotted a land that was dotted with palms Magellan proclaimed...
Magellan:
Yes! That's the East Indies!
Yakko:
But then someone shouted...
Wakko:
Hey, I think that's Guam!
The Warners:
Ai yi yi yi, oops, Magellan!
Your fun little journey's become a nightmare!
Whoopi-ti-yi-yo, keep trying, Magellan
You'll find the East Indies, you just don't know where!
Yakko:
They sailed due west to the Philippine Islands
Magellan was pleased as the natives drew near
But then someone shouted...
The Warners:
I think they're attacking!
Yakko:
Magellan said...
Magellan:
What?
Yakko:
And got hit by a spear
The Warners:
Whoopi-ti-yi-yo, farewell, Magellan!
You almost made it! It's really not fair!
Whoopi-ti-yi-yo, oh, ghost of Magellan
The East Indies Islands were right over there!
