My characters need not know all the facts. Just the details.
A sort of fictionalized take on my parodying the Styx album The Grand Illusion.
The lyric Sometimes it makes no sense at all
sounded like certain supernatural things, and it drew a flurry of tattered clothes.
I’m telling ye, songs can be worked with!
All the song parodying had been done by a bunch of LEGO characters up to this point. They were the uncooperative sort. The kind who would never be patrons, nor have them. The lot of them, in true Lego game style, just wanted to hit things. They changed song lyrics for the sake of it.
But a new voice of reason was leaking out to the employer of the Lego pirates, Buccaneer Blue.
It had been a time under Lego rule. There was no regard for the original song back then. But that Lego Jack Sparrow, also called Jack Spasm, had already had to face a frustrated non-Lego Jack. Those made of Lego had thought that only songs their audience had already known for years could be parodied. This had not made sense to the more canon Pirates of the Caribbean characters, and out of them Elizabeth had made that known.
She had succeeded in bringing a little sense to the counterparts. It may have only been because they were desperate, but now both parties would meet.
Really, I think you can work with it. And if you will not, or let me, do I truly have you under myself?
said the employer. I do not think so. I’d make some plans around what is already in the song.
And so, the Lego took on an album that was new to their employer, though they would likely have gritted their teeth were they not plastic.
But there was Jack Spasm, unable to bend his arms. He could only rotate them and his hands, and looked possibly content as he proceeded.
The sailor in Man in the Wilderness was certainly relevant.
You are right,
Lego Barbossa admitted. He rarely admitted to anything, although he was not the worst of them all, being obsessed with an actual like if his - apples.
So, up for it, are we?
the other Barbossa’s voice called.
Everyone was into the album. They swiftly finished the parody of the title track. It was called The Bad Delusion.
And on they went through the album. Freshwater was probably more familiar to Lego Jack and Elizabeth than sea water, but what they sailed on did not matter. Not when it came to writing Fooling Myself.
Ah ha ha ha ha, stupidity bar!
That - oh, it happened. There was still a tendency toward things like that then. It could still be so later on, but it was almost always the well square plastic feet were planted at. Not very mature, really.
The non-Lego asked questions. They had to ask many, about Miss America. They knew about different kingdoms, but none with anything like this. It made about as much sense as boiling walls to them. But they would not go down without a fight.
The momentum was with Buccaneer Blue, sort of. The parody Thing in the Wilderness
was written. But don’t look for it. It is not canon.
There was a worker in a plastic bandana, but not entirely without the non-Lego influence on him. The same old man-beast was having aggression pointed at him, sure.
But you’re sounding like the original words,
Elizabeth pointed out.
Goblets and bracelets were one kind of treasure, but good parody fodder had the relatively real pirates smiling just as much. They went on to the finale of the album. There are still significant vestiges of the original version of that parody to the current version.
The real Jack had only shown a little through the hostility the Lego pirates let off like torrents at their enemy. He was on a dock - and there, contrary to the video game hub the Lego pirates went off of, he was safe from Davy Jones here. Rain was coming and going - not like the perpetual sunshine the Lego versions of Gibbs, Jack, and their mates played in, with the exact same clouds in the sky that there were every single time.
There was much to be gained from the originals.
The two sets of characters will each have their own parodies next time.
