This damn song has been stuck in my head for 2 weeks, and I'm still trying to figure out what song it actually parodies. The tune itself is very familiar, can anyone help me?

you are going to kick me because just to days ago I was watching TV and saw something with pretty much the same song... but I am growing and losing my memory, I aint no spring chicken any more. Back to the song I can't remember what show it was may have been lost in space but I really can't remember shoot

DUUUUHHHH!!!!! Or maybe you guys are not lucky enough to live here in sunny California. The whole episode parodied Disneyland. The crass commercialism is all Disney, raping the land's resources and destroying the natural beauty is classic Disney. You should see what they did to Florida's gorgeous landscape. The song is a rip-off from Pairates of the Carribean theme song. I live ten minutes from Disneyland and we hear it ALL the time.

DUUUUHHH for me, spelled "pirates" wrong. You know, it's the Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me song.
then at least tell me what the name of the Pirates Of The Caribbean theme song is, or where I can hear a wav of it.

Hon, I am sorry I "duh"ed you. I can send you a wav of it but it is a big file, so be prepared to download your email a looooong time.
The title of the song is "Yo Ho (A Pirate's Life For Me)"
"Whalers on the Moon" is not a direct parody of "Yo Ho" because it doesn't have the same structure in the lyrics or music -- you can't sing "Whalers on the Moon" to the tune of "Yo Ho" with much success. "Whalers on the Moon" seems to be more of a general parody of Disney theme rides like "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "It's a Small World" where you hear the same song over and over again throughout the ride.
But what is the bloody musical structure? I KNOW I've heard that tune before.
