Assessment of suitability for parodying

General

It is usually a good sign when a song has a title consisting only of monosyllabic words, but not so much here. Despite its simple title, this songs is wordy and complicated. A 2-fodder rating certainly could happen, though it serves me a little better than that.

Black Pearl crew-specific

Good, not great. Styx tends to be good for the Crew, and indeed parts of the song served them fine, but the title hints at something very topical about the decade of the song and such 20th century things drag my overall fodder rating down. Great parody, though.

Behind the scenes

This is the only song for which I provide parodies by both my sets of characters. The reason for this is discussed on the page for Old War in the behind the scenes section. However, between the writings of the two parodies I have published of the song, the Five took another stab at it, Homo War, which was not an improvement over Old War.
