description Jack Sparrow Overview
"Jack Sparrow" is a 2011 Saturday Night Live Digital Short and musical comedy video produced by The Lonely Island.

Bolton, dressed in various costumes, sings melodramatic choruses about movie characters from "Pirates of the Caribbean," "Forrest Gump," "Erin Brockovich," and "Scarface" instead of contributing to the club theme. It was released as a single from The Lonely Island's second album, "Turtleneck & Chain."
