| Original Song Title: | "Stairway To Heaven" |
| Original Performer: | Led Zeppelin |
| Parody Song Title: | "Gangplank To Heaven" |
| Parody Written by: | Johnny D |
There's a blighter who thought
He'd steal and not get caught
Now he's walkin' me gangplank to heaven
When he gets to its end
On his knees he will bend
But his words of regret we shall ig-nore
Arrrh, Arrrrrrh!
And he's walkin' me gangplank to heaven
There's a sign on me wall
Just to make very sure
Me crew knows penalties for gold-stealin'
When we caught this here crook
Like a songbird he sings
Tryin' to change our thoughts of his stealin'
Arrrh...it flakes me flounder
Arrrh...it flakes me flounder
There be feelin's I get
When I look to the west
And me spirit is cryin' for treasure
In me thoughts I see clear
Rings of gold through me ears
And the whorehouse where I take me pleasure
Arrrh...it flakes me flounder
Arrrh...it really flakes me flounder
And me hearties all croon
Salty sea-farin' tunes
And the piper will play for our pleasin'
And then soon there will come
A new keg of rum
And me hearties will bellow with laughter
If there's a rustle in me ship's hold
Let the alarm blow
It's some damn fool who's stealin' me gold
Yes there be one path ye shall go by
If ye steal me gold
There's no chance to change me mind - you're done
An' it flakes me flounder
Your death is coming at the end of
The gangplank I love
King Neptune's callin' you to join him
Poor blighter didn't heed me words, so,
Now he shall know
Me gangplank's doom for his thievin' sin
( instrumental )
And as we sail the sea so cold
Our Jolly Roger flag so bold
There walks the plank a thief we know
Who cries with fright and wants to show
How he wished he did not steal gold
And if we listen very hard
The moon illuminates his splash
Seawater cold receives his soul
Sinks like a rock in Neptune's hold
He's done walkin' me gangplank to heaven...
He'd steal and not get caught
Now he's walkin' me gangplank to heaven
When he gets to its end
On his knees he will bend
But his words of regret we shall ig-nore
Arrrh, Arrrrrrh!
And he's walkin' me gangplank to heaven
There's a sign on me wall
Just to make very sure
Me crew knows penalties for gold-stealin'
When we caught this here crook
Like a songbird he sings
Tryin' to change our thoughts of his stealin'
Arrrh...it flakes me flounder
Arrrh...it flakes me flounder
There be feelin's I get
When I look to the west
And me spirit is cryin' for treasure
In me thoughts I see clear
Rings of gold through me ears
And the whorehouse where I take me pleasure
Arrrh...it flakes me flounder
Arrrh...it really flakes me flounder
And me hearties all croon
Salty sea-farin' tunes
And the piper will play for our pleasin'
And then soon there will come
A new keg of rum
And me hearties will bellow with laughter
If there's a rustle in me ship's hold

Arrrrg matey. Send that scruvy dog down to Davy Jones locker for his thievin' ways. Excellent parody JD. I predict a hit here.
Excellent!!! Really loved this one. 5's
This song sure deserves a parody, and you did a great job! It's perfect timing, since I just saw "Pirates of the Caribbean" yesterday! Was that your inspiration? And did you know that in some stores where guitars are sold, the signs read "No Stairway to Heaven"?
Thanks Guy, Adagio, and Mari !
Mari - I haven't seen "Pirates of the Caribbean" yet, but it's on my list of movies-to-see ...... but even though I haven't seen it yet, it was, kinda-sorta, part of my inspiration for this parody. Guess with all the publicity around that movie, I must've had pirates on me mind, matey - aaarrrrrhhh !!!
I take it those signs mean the store's employees do NOT want to hear "Stairway To Heaven" over and over and over again, eh ?

Added my all fives to the list.
Wonderful as usual, Johnny...your range knows no bounds! 5s!
Thanks, neminem and Arwen !
I'm sitting here at work, trying not to laugh hysterically. All 5's!
5-5-5! True perfection!
Thanks very much, Jessica and Jude.
Johnny D - A Pirate parody, ehh matey? Well, we'll see if 5 lashes x 3 will change your tune. The Captain, yes, well he IS a cruel man...cruel, but fair...Johnny D on the rolling sea...you sailed her well.
Arrrrh, thankee thankee Paul ...... so, The Captain, cruel but fair, eh? Could he be Cap'n Dinsdale? Did 'e nail yer head to the floor, eh? Arrrrhhh !
Great job Johnny!
Thank ye, me Aussie mate !
Arrrtfully executed; I actually just took a ride on one of the ships used in the movie on vacation last week PLUS I won a bottle o' rum in a treasure hunt PLUS I lost me eye (glasses). Funny stuff
Thanks Claude!
Har, har. Does this old peg-legged mouse o'mine know a better pirates' song? Nar, nar says I.
Arrrrrrh, thankee me matey 2nz.
Great idea for this song, loved the title. The song was pretty good too =)
Thanks Cap'n Reuben, arrrrrh!
Very original.
(ABC) Already voted. Still really good!
Thank you, Leo Jay, and Adagio!
G-niality prize ye won't be takin', me hearty, but ye have a treasure, here, that be worthy of a prize.
Arrrrh, thankee me Melhi, thankee!
(ABC) Very good! 555!
StH parodies aren't my favorites (probably because I'm just bitter about being unable to come up with a solid one myself), but I really like this one. And great job with the characterization, Johnny D(epp).
Thanks, Jack Spaffow! I mean, Jack and TMS!
Still flakes me flounder (unless that would be bad).
Thanks Cap'n Claude. Whatever flakes ye flounder, matey, arrrrh.
Excellent! Although I WAS hoping a shark would show up at the end... :-)
Still mind-blowingly good... I already voted last time, and I have this hunch that amiright only keeps track of who voted on what for so long, so I won't cheat and give you more 5s ;-).
Arrrrrh, thankee me Hearty Hobbit! An' a keg's worth o' thanks to ye too, neminem! ARRRH !!
Arrrh, Arrrrrrh, Cap'n JD? Love this Pirate Parody. And as a coincidence I just rented "Pirates of the Carribean" today. A subliminally motivated purchase, perhaps? Methinks mayhaps t'is some skullduggery afoot 'ere, matey...ahh...now t'is up to me to be as the Cap'n in me votin' duties...cruel, but fair...
great parody of a fabulous song .....builds very well...very imaginative lyric....
Arrrrh, thankee Paul an' martha, me hearties!
How did I miss this one? Fellas, here comes your new gangplank, and it's not what you're hoping! Another classic.
Thanks MP.
