Assessment of suitability for parodying

General

Like most of the songs on its album, this is a generally straightforward song with an occasional polysyllabic word.

Black Pearl crew-specific

This is the kind of song the Crew love to tackle. When it comes to describing the crew of the Flying Dutchman, it says everything: What kind of man have I become? makes no sense at all, the word soul, I’m a lonely sailor lost at sea, and somehow finding I’m alive worth calling attention to.

Still, there is no such thing as a 6-fodder song, so try not to mix up the Track number on album and Fodder rating data fields!

Behind the scenes

I am actually sharing my second parody of this song. The first, Thing in the Wilderness, is unpublished due to in-jokes and insulting its subject as foolish.
