Good days of cheerful work continued.
A sort of fictionalized take on my parodying the REO Speedwagon album Hi Infidelity.
The Black Pearl Crew had made this previously unlikely-seeming choice of an album by having snapped out of a trend they were previously following. Now that the readers knew Hi Infidelity was a good choice, here they were, on an imaginary coastline, in the possession of an album with no collective story, but vigorously changing the lyrics could give it one. As singing about ships was welcome, they did it in the opening parody, Don’t Let Him Show.
Staying on top of things, but not getting so fast that quality was compromised, Elizabeth determined they would make the whole album about that same antagonist, as none of the songs suited townsfolk or the Navy very well.
Maybe we can present it as a concept album,
she said. It was thus to to the all pitifully sung Keep On Loving You, which could have originally been about a couple of townsfolk but called to be turned on its head.
The Crew were a quite practical bunch, seeing what a song had to offer them, then figuring something out based on that. It was how a pirate had to survive, in general. The Crew, whose lifestyle certainly fit that, went nowhere that did not suit Jack, nor did he care when it was (well, maybe by the second). Hence, what they did with one of the tougher songs, Follow My Heart developed in its own time, as their ideas naturally did.
There was no or
when it came to what to do with In Your Letter, which was about a relationship going somberly.
Can’t pass. These are the words any would-be lover reduced to flaming bitterness could have used - which is special after a certain case of that we know!
the Crew said.
It was all a good choice. The hooks were not scarce in Take It On The Run, a song that invited all except maybe the aggressive Barbossa - but working separately worked fine. After all, as long as neither the employer nor all the characters pointed to the cutting room floor, they could proceed.
And the tales grow taller on how you’re a fright, but I’m telling you, Davy, that I don’t think it’s true, Davy, and even if it is, keep this in mind,
they said, using some of the stronger connections the album gave them.
As each of the Tough Guys was brought to his knees, the idea of doing that spread. Who else could people want that to happen to? It had to not be the old Lego equivalent of the subject of this parody album, ostensibly called Squidbeard, as his legs did not bend.
Not that they would ever go back to him anyway. He never provided much material, appearing in a video game hub that always had the same cloud below the sun, where Mr. Gibbs’s only personality was smelling bad, nobody could be any more scrawny than anybody else, that sort of thing. The Crew had spent all of 2014 cutting down the standing of that ultimately overrated, too-small source of material*.
What was Out Of Season about? She - or he - cut this guy down when he thought he could get no higher? How sharply or literally? After leaving him cold in what way?
None could do as the song said, at least not knowing for sure that was what ye were doing. Just when I wanted the notes lower or higher,
she thus wrote, just having pirate foot be set where it rhymed.
There had been confusion then, but now they had a song they could relate to.
We may not move on a red light, but what we are like in the song is all right,
said someone behind folded spare sails. Somethings the song mentioned confused the Crew, but they knew they must proceed.
They’re the kind of thing to look for, looks trying to kill and such relevant things,
all agreed.
Don’t run away
was really a line to turn on its head. Whether you’re up, whether you’re down
could have asked if the Flying Dutchman should be above or below the water. They worked off of things like these in songs with even fewer words than the one they made about washing, or the one with the music that should have been in a church*. It concluded the album.
Just in time for the next parody album comes an amazing new release!
