The important thing about these songs is I found something to appreciate about them.
These are songs I deemed to be my top choices for parodying, generally for bearing striking resemblances to things out of Pirates of the Caribbean. This page also doubles as a list of songs that can be used to describe PotC material just the way they are.
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 perfectly but are not so fitting for PotC are described in bold, red text, like what you are reading now, so they are easily distinguishable.
If you use it as a resource for songs to describe PotC, or AE, however, keep in mind that the choices for it are my own. It is therefore quite arguable as to just how well they suit the franchise. Some of these (notably Long View) do not describe the franchise itself so much as my reaction to it. The individual pages for the songs explain what they are doing here, as the list undoubtedly includes songs that would not appear on a List of songs to describe Pirates
compiled from a community poll, but the reverse is also true. What, I can hear many of you ask, there are Styx songs, but Come Sail Away is not one of them? If you wonder what any given song is not doing here, I hope to explain that on my FAQ.
