“Pirate Jet” is the sixteenth and final track of "Plastic Beach", the third studio album by the virtual band Gorillaz. The track is what becomes of the previous track “Cloud of Unknowing”. It is speculated that this is a song about an oil company celebrating its success.
The words “Pirate Jet” are repeated in the background throughout the entire song. These words are used as a pun for private jet.
"'Pirate Jet’ takes the album out swinging, a finale with shuddering jazz hands: “Did you like the show? It was called PLANET EARTH". We’re finished and now everyone’s evolved into plastic. A new breed of human.
But y’know, I want to clear this up. ‘Plastic Beach’. It’s not a green record. It’s not a judgement on the world. It’s just a picture. Plastic Beach: it’s another place, another way of looking at the world. And this is its soundtrack…."
