I started to realize that it WASN'T a continuation of the "story" in the original song, but rather an altered and expanded VERSION of it. Or to put it ANOTHER way: as much a REMAKE as a SEQUEL! Using your movie analogy, I think it's a little like how the second "300" movie is basically a story that takes place ALONG SIDE of the first one. Not a PERFECT comparison, but I think you get the idea...
Look, all I'm saying is that no one else has ever thought this except you.

Whatever makes you feel better.

A sequel doesn't have to tell a continuation of a story to be a sequel.

An example in video games is Final Fantasy 2 (or whichever). It has nothing to do with the first game, none of the same characters, but it does share some themes, features of gameplay, etc. It's still a sequel.
