The problem with trying to parody this song is that it is about a very specific thing, namely cocaine. It does not actually name its own subject in itself, either - you have to know from outside sources, so there are undoubtedly people out there who have no clue what the song means. But on the other hand, at least you do not have to come up with a rhyme for the word cocaine.
This is the only song about cocaine I know, and in the Black Pearl Crew opinion one is enough. The coca plant was not turned into cocaine until 1859, and Pirates of the Caribbean has never taken license with this historical fact to the best of my knowledge, so one should think this would be a weak choice for the Crew - and it is. They pretty much only did it to undo the Comic Five’s work.
I had to rewrite Go Blind
to make it publishable. Trying to make my own, fan-fictitious version of the song was also part of my very early parodying trial and error. For more information, see the Comic Five’s discography.
