Sometimes you have to stay in the fight.
A sort of fictionalized take on my parodying the Pat Benatar album All Fired Up: The Very Best of Pat Benatar.
Barbossa and Jack exchanged bitter comments and sarcasm about the crew of the Flying Dutchman. They might argue about whether to attack someone, navigational methods, and other details of their lives, but taking a sword upon a threat to your soul itself, the two could unite on.
But one thing neither would give was his frightened side, for this was supposed to be funny (and when it was put this way, one can see why Hell Is For Children did not lend itself so well).
There was to be no gangplank set for the pirates to head aboard the Flying Dutchman. This was declared in Leave Me Right.
The parody also touched on what Will wanted from such a cursed vessel - his father free. All in all, it was a clever parody to be crooned, and even Do you think I’m a fool, well you better think twice
was unchanged.
Being on an enormous vessel that smelled of all things unpleasant in the sea was a position best avoided, and avoiding it was also what If You Think You Know How the Love Went
was about, partly. The rest of it was about the things left hanging, with what was known of the story of Davy Jones being that things went wrong and not much of the rest of it.
Then they picked up a song about a feeling Jack was familiar with. The relevances would help hold together a parody about not having belief in the enemy that was pushing them.
Will observed that We Live For Love was reminiscent of the captain of the beasts (pardon the harsh description). I hear of passion growing when you thought that love was only just one voyage away,
were among the lyrics written about who - or what - had crossed them in such a dramatic way.
Was love contagious? One kiss was dangerous. I am certain of this, judging from you,
they said, though they did not really know. Oh, why could no agreement be reached?
You Better Run gave a description that Mister Jones was similar to, with the swinging around between questionable activities. Many of the original words reappeared in the parody, what with doing things to hearts, souls, and heads.
The villain who carved himself up, unpleasant though he was to those he had never even met, was yet again the subject of choice when they had songs like Promises In The Dark to work with upon being reunited with Buccaneer Blue.
Up came the song about one who would be making love but had the other side of the relationship placing the situation. . . well, it was odd, but Fire And Ice was sure to wake up the crew.
There was no commission for angrily gritting teeth at the beast - or the thought of trying to work him into a song that did not sound like how we know him. Le Bel Age/Only our love will remain
was simply not him. Heartbreaker was, though.
There were many nasty things in Anxiety (Get Nervous). Some got complaints, like We do not understand how there would be anyone you could call if you are picking up a tell a foam,
as these characters were from way before telephones. And sometimes in the city, sometimes in her. . . cart? Jack could not be sure.
Following hearing a heartbeat could be done, however. It had happened to the Crew, and it stank to them. Though they could not understand everything the song said, they could still make a treasure, and there it is, the parody Insanely (Get a Curse).
Temporary Heroes practically belonged to the Crew. It said perfection was longed for, that the loving was destined to be a sad memory, and that there were wounds.
They will continue what they are doing, just not as much.
