Can Britney Spears ward off a group of swashbuckling pirates? According to the British Royal Navy, the answer is aye aye, Captain.

The "Toxic" singer's catchy early hits like "Oops! I Did It Again" and "...Baby One More Time" have been used by naval officers to ward off Somali pirates off the east coast of Africa.

"Her songs were chosen by the security team because they thought the pirates would hate them most," Merchant Navy Second Officer Rachel Owens, who works on supertankers, told Metro UK.

I think just about any modern pop music would be enough to make the pirates keep throwing up enough to where they wouldn't be physically able to carry out an attack.

Yes, we also use music as a means of psychological warfare, but normally its something that tells about war, nationalism and devotion.
Against pirates, I don't know, perhaps something that speaks about heart-breaking and teenage sex is enough.
