Castle Crashers is one of those odd games where about half of the music in the game was pulled from pre-existing sources. Taken by itself, "Space Pirates" does have several elements of quirky science fiction, from the spaceship sound effect in the opening seconds, the instrumentation behind the keyboard/synth, to the electronic-sounding bass throughout the song, it's all very tongue-in-cheek sci-fi. But within the context of Castle Crashers, it manages to fit perfectly within the confines of a forest overrun by thieves, possibly in the employ of the Evil Prince (I don't know his actual name, but that's what The Squire and I refer to him as). Because of how much I've played the Thieves' Forest stage, I can really only hear how well this song works in a forest setting beset by an annoying band of bow-happy thieves ohmygod they're Robin Hood and his Merry Band, minus Robin Fitzooth. And a group of trolls who have taken up residence in an abandoned mill.
