Assessment of suitability for parodying

One definite advantage to parodying this album is that the songs rarely mentioned anything that has not existed for hundreds and hundreds of years. This was especially important given my working under the theme of Pirates of the Caribbean. It fits the bill of generally flexible songs with ambiguous subjects, easy words to rhyme, and less than overwhelming quantities of lyrics, as do countless other albums out there.
