Earl of Roseland
Parody: The Pearl Will Sail In
Artist: Styx
Album: Styx II
Track number on album: 7
Duration: 4:40
Fodder rating (out of 5): 3
Of the songs I have files on from Styx II, I consider this to be the hardest. The reason for this is that the other songs are pretty ambiguous about where and when they take place, but this one makes clear it is set in a modern town.
There was fun to be had here, notably actually having the name Davy in the original lyrics. But for reasons explained above, I have to call this good-not-great fodder, of hit and miss relevance to the Crew. This is the only time they have had to come up with a rhyme for electrical sign,
and once was enough.
