Small things I can work with, I need more of, but they add up.
These are songs I deemed to be of reasonable suitability for parodying. The reason for the fairly high suitability can often be that the original story is about half the kind of story I want to tell, its direct opposite, or otherwise has some details in common with what I have in mind.
Important note: While PotC is my default theme for parodying, I have taken to using Aeon’s End as a subject as well. The songs which fit AE fine but are not so fitting for PotC are described in bold, red text, like what you are reading now, so they are easily distinguishable.
