Assessment of suitability for parodying

General

The song has a conventionally limited amount of lyrics, but that is where its being conventional ends. Its content is absolutely unique, which, for a parodist, may or may not make it have more niche appeal. Still, 5-fodder ratings do not seem all that likely.

Black Pearl crew-specific

This ranks up there as one of the most distinctly not 18th-century songs the Crew have ever put up with. They would not know what to do when asked to turn music down, nor do they recognize the pills, chemicals, or rock and roll. Sigh. Still, given the organ playing by the enemy, complaining about music provided a hook. All in all, fair-to-good fodder.

Behind the scenes

I am actually providing my third parody of this song, because the first two, White Powder Poisoning and Aquatic Monster Poisoning, did not stick with me.
