Assessment of suitability for parodying

General

The song may be short, but it manages to cram all kinds of challenges within its length. I do not highly recommend attempting it, unless niche appeal applies.

Black Pearl crew-specific

It is easy to imagine the Crew not being big fans of this one, but it suits them surprisingly well. Chock full of polysyllabic words as the song is, being able to work with the suicide, the product of pain, the life of crime, the blood, and the tragedy made the song workable. It just goes to show how what you want to do with a song influences its suitability.

Behind the scenes

My first parody of this song was titled Captain Jack, but that did not sound nearly enough like St. Jimmy.
