The Roots Captain Morgan Theme Song Remix

Hip-Hop band The Roots were granted the opportunity to remix the theme song for Captain Morgan for the rum company's latest commercial.

Speaking on the remix and resulting song "To Life, Love And Loot," Roots drummer ?uestlove said of working on the song:

"They gave us free reign to experiment. We scaled the group down to half — it was just drums, guitar, and tuba."

"The track is part funk, but it's also as aggressive a song can get with drums, guitar, and tuba."

"Lyrically, we figured we'd tackle the mission statement line by line."

"We touch on love and then you extend love to life, and then the love of loot."

"In this case buried treasure. We definitely had a visual pirate ship in our heads when we were doing this track.”

Listen to the Roots' "To Life, Love And Loot" Captain Morgan song between, and also look out for their new album, undun, dropping on December 6th.
