The Last Saskatchewan Pirate - Arrogant Worms
Captain of the Pinafore - Gilbert/Sullivan (predates rock songs by many decades :-)
Barrett's Privateers - Stan Rogers (Al should know this one - as a Maritimer) (North-West Passage also fits somewhat.#10: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Jul 4, 2014
It's a song name, so it's not the Captain and Tenielle. ;)#11: Niki Cholette (Niki420) on Jul 4, 2014
John, I LOVE Arrogant Worms. I'm surprised to see someone else knowing them. They are so great but not very popular, even among us Canadians.#12: Aldege Cholette (aldege) on Jul 4, 2014
John,I'm a newbie wanna be Maritimer,and they're threatening to deport me back to Ontario.:)#13: Tom King (sgusa) on Jul 5, 2014 [SPOILER]

Niki, they were the favourite group for my niece and nephew 15 years ago (and are still a favourite). We've had their CD where they play in concert with the Edmonton Symphony in our car for travel music for the last year or so.#18: Web Paint-By-Number Robot (webpbn) on Sep 27, 2016
It's especially fun to sing along with "We've got rocks and trees" as we drive through the Ontario countryside where there are trees doing their best to hide the outcroppings of Canadian shield. Singing along with "Big Fat Road Manager" and "Me Like Hockey" is fun anywhere, of course.
Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by infrapinklizzard.#19: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Sep 27, 2016 [HINT]
el 5 r20 = c19,20 w; also it can't go left of c10 so r20c14 is black#20: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Sep 27, 2016 [SPOILER]

el 4 c18 = r1-6 w

Someone mentioned YMCA above but "In the Navy" also seems like a decent guess.#22: BlackCat (BlackCat) on Aug 10, 2021
