Assessment of suitability for parodying

General

A simple song, but it suffers from being nonsensical. A 5-fodder rating therefore seems unlikely.

Black Pearl crew-specific

On the plus side, the song mentions going to sea. On the minus side, the song starts with summer giving way to winter, and there is snow and frozen stuff, none of which happens in the Caribbean. And the parts of the lyrics do not all add up. I call this good-not-great fodder.

Behind the scenes

Evening at Sea was actually my second parody of this song. The first, Don’t Show Anything to Me, was needlessly unpleasant.
